Help Save Newgrounds!

I am selling a bunch of DVDs and such for the cheap on eBay.

More stuff to be listed soon.

IMPORTANT NEWS RELATED THING BE SURE TO READ THIS PART!

If you are here on Newgrounds I know you like this site. Maybe even love this site. You might have very strong feelings for this site that you can't express fully. Well, Newgrounds needs your help. You may or may not have noticed that there is a huge backlog right now of movies and games sitting "under judgment". This effects a lot of things that happen here on Newgrounds. Daily awards get wonky, great new works get missed, and things just look messy.

How can you help? Well I am glad you asked that very specific question!

If you like Games CLICK HERE, if you prefer Movies CLICK HERE, and if you are an old hat and like it retro CLICK HERE!

It doesn't matter how you get there, just get there. Now watch some movies, play some games and VOTE! You have the power to decide the fate of what stays on Newgrounds. You have the chance to win $100 just for sitting on your butt and playing games!

Each new submission needs 200 votes to pass/fail judgment. If you watch/play something then VOTE on it. Let your voice be heard with the click of a button. Help clean up the Newgrounds Portal!

I know the title of this post was slightly dramatic...

Feel free to post some ideas on how you would like to see Newgrounds improved and/or how much you just like this darn place!

i once went to the under judgment section.
my money was stolen and my mother was brutally murdered.
i also saw my dog talking to some shady people, never saw him after that.

never again.

ForNoReason 2013-08-21 09:07:15

Trying to clean up these mean streets!

Sorry for your loss....

DBuck-Eye 2013-08-21 09:15:25

You're doing God's work, sir. It's pretty annoying when a submission on the front page is under judgment for 11 hours, so I shall try to help!

ForNoReason 2013-08-21 09:15:25

Thank you kind sir!

It's gone all over the place, why did people suddenly stop voting?
My last 2 videos were under judgement for 2 days, and one of them might have got a daily award except PBot never even posted daily awards for that day :S
I hope it improves soon.

ForNoReason 2013-08-21 09:39:27

We all have to work together to make it better! Hope it all comes together soon!

Wait it's 300 votes now? A) I should be 100 - 150. B) The minimum rating should be 2.25 not 1.6! C) The under judgment section should be in a more obvious place (back on the classic portal it's easy to find and now it's hidden in this new design). D) Newest games should be ordered by when they're approved and not added, this means click bate submissions screw over ones added before it. It said this many times but no one listens and then you wonder why the whole system is messed up.

ForNoReason 2013-08-21 10:10:41

Sorry, typo. It is 200

dphuong98 2013-08-21 10:41:13

Oh joy! I am going to learn Flash right away!

chris-the-stick 2013-08-21 11:09:44

well, i LOVE this site, im here since 2006, and before that, i lurked this site for 5 years, because when i first discovered it on 2001, i thought it was a cool site to watch.

if i joined on that time, now my account/status would be cool as hell!
oh well.

i really like this site, and i want to see it on the top.to keep going.
i vote almost daily, p. often on under judgement movie, but i dont think i will get 100$, man.

no matter what, i think we should all care,a nd protect this great site, for it is a rare, and nice heaven for those who enjoy quallity flash movies and games

sigh- yeah

ps. dude, do you happen to sell any monty python's DVD's? just asking.

ForNoReason 2013-08-21 11:09:44

no monty python :(

Koverted 2013-08-21 11:24:40

@ForNoReason Even so it's still too high. You could argue that reducing the required amount of votes would flood Newest Games with submissions but then also increasing the minimum rating would even it out. I've seen games like http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/623652 get through that obviously shouldn't have gotten through. Also making it so people can only post 1 game every 2 days would be good since I've seen developers upload Crap Game .5, Crap Game .75 and so on in the same day.

ForNoReason 2013-08-21 11:24:40

I think a lowering of some of the votes needed and/or raising the min required score might be needed for sure.

tbremise 2013-08-21 12:35:24

Dont you worry, I am always looking out to vote on things that need it. ;)

vezanmatics 2013-08-21 12:49:39

Honestly, I think this is because the portal is in a pretty bad place, very obscure. It's evident that not enough people are going there.
A real improvement would be having another widget on the Front Page displaying the Under Judgement window, maybe off to the right.

As mentioned, decreasing the number of votes needed and raising the required score would help a LOT.

vezanmatics 2013-08-21 13:15:09

Allow me to clarify: Showcasing only 10 Under Judgement submissions is too few. Using the entire right margin would probably be of some benefit.

Hattok 2013-08-21 14:33:43

Just for you, I went and voted on 65 Under Judgement entries.

ForNoReason 2013-08-21 14:33:43

you are a true hero!

FOR MOTHER RUSSIA!

Tom needs to have a telethon or fund raising effort... if not to hire temp help to get the bugs worked out, then to aggressively advertise our existence! NG has been around a damn long time, and is one of the first user-submitted and moderated, content websites.
