a few bright ideas:

1. a 'sent messages' option, so we can see who we have sent messages to and exactly what these messages entailed. great for playing drunken catch up.

2. some sort of indication that you have received a new message, without having to go into the account options to see if you have.

3. the ability to order messages according to who sent them and when, rather than just dates. it'd be a lot easier to keep track of what you've said to others in PM.

what do you guys think?

More mods patrol general then C&C.
Face it, the only mod that patrols C&C is ramagi, and he isn't on all the time. Read oscars post about spam in C&C, and you'll know what i'm talking about. Yes, there is spam in general, but not nearly as much as say C&C.

If you want more counter arguments, look up my topic on it in general. It went around five pages long.

if you remove 2 movies in 15 days - it counts them as blams and then you cant submit for a half a month - i think you should remove the "remove flash" feature untill this is fixed - or quickly fix it

also for the list of suggested ideas that were implemented - i suggested that they fix the people with your movies as their favorites list so that it dosen't only have one page and the other movies not being able to get to

ok i got an idea ........ ok you know how the e-mails are sent to the NG members about there favorite artist(s) and there new video/game/ audio submissons, would it be better if the notifications are sent through the pm system instead of the e-mail, cuz i don't check my mail that much and i don't know if anyone eles does the same ... but it was just an idea i had from over thinking form lack of sleep, but it might be easier for the members and make the pm system used a bit more ....

Response to Ideas for Newgrounds' Evolution Mk2 2006-10-09 16:32:16


I don't know, Newgrounds is a great website, and its going to be better. What would be nice to see would be a new revised audio portal. The collection pages should also be automated since there is thousands of flash on Newgrounds and theirs like 20 submissions in each collection. There should be more awards and possibly awards just for users. We should also have a literature and art portal for more Newgrounds members to join in on the fun. More levels and ways to earn experience would also be nice. Another idea that think would be nice, that some other users may not agree with is that Newgrounds would be more open to all.

Some of the ideas may seem a little far-fetched, but if they were done Newgrounds may end up dominating the internet.

A little more than it already has by the way :)

I posted this idea in a different thread and was reffered to this one, and I might not have been clear enough in what I was suggesting. To help in catching downgraders (a term I use for people who deliberately crapify their existing movies on NG by making what was once a decent movie total crap intentionally) I suggest making the submission go through judgement after being changed if and ONLY if the filesize shrinks by a significant ammount. This would elimitate the problem of downgraders as well as not hassle those who are just tweaking a film or updating it with additions. this is basically for films that go from a 256kb to 40kb (just an example of numbers, and i have no idea if such a change is actually possible in flash). For example final xtacy. I heard it used to be a movie, not a great movie, but a movie none the less. It is now a 3 frame animation of a retarted stickman. Regardless of wether he wanted the movie on NG any longer or not, he still downgraded the movie. My suggested system would most likely have stopped the downgrading from replacing a once crappy movie with utter pointless crap that just pisses people off because it isnt even relative to the section it is in. Give me your feedback on this topic.

Just thought of 2 more things. One, elimination of the Turd Of The Week award, since it has now become a way to self advertize and people strive to get this award, which is the opposite of what it was created for and really no longer serves a beneficial purpose. This thread shows many of the techniques (some of which are against the rules) which are used to get turd. http://www.newground../topic.php?id=585731

Another idea is an edit post button, because double posting can be a real pain if its just a minor clean up of a previous post or added thought.

Give audio awards. Audio portal needs a big clean up. With favorite artist ability and more recognition.

A great idea I thought of the voting habit system. Except it would be a small icon that would red,blue, or green depending on their voting and reveiwing habits. It would be also placed in reveiws. Its size would be good because people wouldn't change their ways in order to get a certain icon.

Response to Ideas for Newgrounds' Evolution Mk2 2006-10-11 19:08:52


I have some ideas. Like subscriptions to authors. Since we have many favorite authors it's kind of hard to notice if they have new works. So I think it would be cool if we can subscribe to the author's work and when they have a new movie out we are notified via our private message box.

Another idea is to show how many hits we get on our profiles. Making that public or private. It makes it more interesting to see if you are liked or not. Be cool to also like copy myspace and have top 8 friends with a 15x15 sized icon that also opens their profiles.

That's already in place and has been for at least a year. If you check the e-mail box to receive updates, then whenever an artist in your favourites list uploads something new, you'll get an e-mail about it.

Another idea is to show how many hits we get on our profiles.

There used to be popularity in the profiles about three years ago. It was scrapped, because people were just posting threads just to boost it. Can't see that ever coming back.

As for latest guy of a long run of people who have posted about there being an edit button, despite the first post of the first page explicitly states that it's never going to happen, someone fetch me a shotgun.

I think some of the B/P badges should be redesigned. Mainly the Elite Gaurd First Lieutenant badge and all the badges pass that up until EG Brigadier General badge. Those five just look to much a like. It doesn't seem like a good payoff to do all that work just to get a slightly different badge.

Automated Collections

There is tons of content on Newgrounds, to be handled. Not much flash is really in a collection. And there is much quality flash that gets lost.

To make Trolling on the BBS one of the "Big Ones". People have been trolling in threads and causing flame wars and then mods have to lock the threads. It gets really annoying and it pisses off the thread starters, because the threads had a good topic.

Make a drop down box that remebers the usernames you use for easier access to depositing for your alts. and a user option to clear that said history.

More post icons: A sad face, a thumbs up/thumbs down, and anything to replace the "none" icon. Perhaps the NG tank would do.

After flagging reviews today I came up with this:

How about have the most marked "helpful" review show up on the submission next to the most recent one? It will give the helpful review button a purpose.

Make it so that when I click the "Read More" link in the author's comments, the box "expands" instead of having a new window pop-up. I hate it when I read a really long comment, then lose my place because I had to click that link. Just make the whole thing expand the same way the author's comments box expands when viewing a video on YouTube.

Good idea. If you don't mind me adding on to it, but reviews could be sorted by order, score and most helpful.

I think there should be a review catagory called replay value. and it can be also used for movies and not just games.

well AfroUnderscoreStud told me to post this here. so...

This is only a suggestion and might have even already been suggested at one point. As I've been more active in browsing and posting in the Wi/ht section of the forums lately, I've noticed the various threads concerning a person's rank in categories such as experience, save points, B/P points, ect which is beyond the top 50 that Newgrounds gives for some categories. Which thus brings me to my suggestion:

I was thinking of having a thread with your overall rank and in doing so adding both your rank in b/p and expierence. (I.E. I'm rank 470 in experience and 122 in B/P, so my overal rank would be 592). The ranking would go by whoever has the lowest ranking after adding both experience rank and B/P rank.

Now, I'm no whiz at this kind of stuff nor do i really have the time to do it should it even be possible. Just thought I'd bring it up in case its possible and someone doesn't mind doing it or maybe even wants to. CONSTRUCTIVE criticism is always helpful.

Cut+paste from my misplaced thread :

better audio portal player
i really like working and at the same time hearing audio-portal music in the back, hoping something will catch my interest and maybe ill use it in some kinda flash.
Im having kind of a hard time with the "player" - basically, the play/stop button... i was hoping maybe we can rev it up so there's also a pause button, and a loop/dont-loop button. i know that all these problems can be solved by downloading the song to the player of my own choice, but if im not at home, or if i just want to hear the song online while being able to take phones, then these buttons will be great help. (of course the next stage is the online ng-playlist at the side of the explorer-window, but that's just daydreaming).

thanx! (and sry for writing song when i shoulda written track, prbbly).

okay you have the sound when you vote for a flash 0-5

I think there should be a sound when you deposit your points

like maybe a "cha ching" since you are storing your gold coins
