People can see uncouted art in people's userpages and in the uncouted section of the art portal (only visible to scouted people). People who aren't scouted can recommend art for the art portal so other scouted members and mods will scout them.

Don't worry, if you submit quality art, you WILL be scouted ;)

No problem ;)

By the way Ismael, do you know if the Digg team is still being used, or is it another dead club? Why I want to know is the art portal recently came out, and there are bound to be great artwork which should be dugg ;)

Now it's rarely used. Day by day it got more inactive to the point where no-one digged any of those things. I think that when it just started, many people was excited because it was made by Wade, but later they didn't find it funny anymore.

However, if you want to go and try to revive it, you can count on me ;)
Maybe a completely new thread to bring people's attention?

Check the list that I updated on my blog of all the spam flashes and low scoring flashes of the week that could be or might be able to steal underdog or RCP.

The review mods are already alert before the awards are chosen as they have their own thread like my blog, but form about 11:30 on Tuesday night I would like every Barracks member that can spare their time to just keep refreshing and checking the submissions on my blog.

Good work with that. I'll do my best to visit those submissions every now and then (especially on Tuesdays). As you said the review mods are already doing things like this, but if we can help them to find the things they overlook, then we should do it :)

Also, there's a flash from the [FF] under judgment, which apparently responds to the recent... events :/

Not that it's abusive or anything, but I just felt like letting you guys know.

At first I didn't get it whether it's your birthday today or it's in July. I had to do a google search to find an older thread just in case.

However, before that I'll be having to go to hospital a week on Monday to have my right eye examined after being told at the local opticians that it possibly has keratoconus. Hopefully things will be fine when I go.

Oh fuck. I literally cried a little bit when I saw the picture in that article :(
I hope everything turns out alright :( Let us know what happens to your eye.

This one had the balls to post a thread asking for it to be scouted as well.

Fuck I can't believe it. Either it's the same person, or they have planned a raid. I don't like to say this but we'll probably see more soon >:(

It was just deleted. Good work guys, good to see this shit being deleted quickly.

That's all we can do for now. We could possibly PM an active art mod so he can delete it ASAP. But anyway it shouldn't take long until an art mod sees it, especially if several people have flagged it already.

Who moderates this club (i.e. deletes malicious posts, bans the users etc.)?

We just ignore him, sooner or later any forum moderator will delete the rule breaking post(s). Of course, if we see this thread is being abused, we can PM forum mods to let them know.

Are there ranks, or are we all treated equal?

There are some special ranks which can be seen at the Officer List in our forums. But yeah, we're all treated equal :)

And audio too. The staff hasn't said anything about people earning money from their art submissions, so I guess you could PM a popular artists with lots of views in their stuff and ask them if they have earned any money with them.

I filled the survey, and please let us know if any interesting things come out of this :)

And the Wizard con sounds awesome! So much cool people to meet! If only I could go... :(

You need to go here. Add a movie (or edit an existing one), fill the form, save changes and you'll be able to download any version you want (AS 1, 2 or 3).

This is mostly related to a feature on NG, and it isn't about flash production, so I'd say this thread fits this forum :)
Just saying...

Well, when you submit art, you have the option to don't make it public. That way, the things you submit won't appear in the art portal, is that what you're talking about?

Lovin' the new banner, and the art portal! Thanks a lot of this, and congrats on such a big success!

NG has been out for years, and this is one of the most important features added, along with the art portal, I suppose you're happy now you have finally released it, or at least you should be. I'm kinda proud of being part of Newgrounds :3

Now, let's party!

It's not in BBS format but uhm.. It's still there guys.

Yay, it's back! We'll probably experience this several times until it's officially launched. Right now they must be working to correct all the bugs.

This is probably the beta phase. I'm sure they'll include the button in the next (hopefully soon) redesign, which may (or may not) be launched with the literature portal. Besides, Tom hasn't made a news thread to announce the release of the portal yet.

I was blown away by the quality submissions submitted by already popular artists, it's great how the team have done things, I don't think it even need's polishing up.

Yeah, me too, there are already a lot of great submissions, and the portal is really active right now. With time things will calm down, but I just love seeing so many good stuff :)

I've already submitted two things to test it out.

I recommended you for the art portal :D

While I feel that just saying "Oh My Fucking God" is enough of a post considering how important and awesome this is, I'm writing a somewhat longer post so people would look at this and think it's a better post than it really is. But really, OMFG

The art portal is here:

So long as the video is your own work and not something made by someone else that you thought was cool to upload. Newgrounds does not like stealing.

Thanks, someone could have got me wrong when I said "you can submit everything". Obvously you must always abide the NG rules.
(See rules for flash submissions).

To submit content to NG, you must go to this page. Right now you can submit flashes to the Flash portal, and music to the Audio portal (also, you can post your art in the art forum). In the future, users will be able to submit art and literature to the oncoming portals ;)

About submitting videos, you can submit everything as long as it's .swf format (this means that you can, for example, submit a live action video if the format is .swf).

Well, there's nothing wrong if you disagree with this, but honestly, that amendment has nothing to do with this and is not a valid point. Your user page is provided by Newgrounds, and belongs to Newgrounds, and when you sign up you agree to abide certain rules, which you must follow. There is some stuff that you obviously can't post in your user page (as there are things that you can't post in the forums), and I think it's a good idea that now there are people who moderate that.

I don't know if this is true, but before, it was Wade the one who had to delete the news posts, now he'll have less work to do which is a good think. It's the same as before, when Wade was the only one who could delete reviews.

Also, this post is much well written than mine:

This website is not a Democracy; we are users who agree to abide by the rules of said website. We as users have limited rights within a given establishment. You've already given up some of your right by signing up in the first place.

And nobody said that you won't be able to post rants anymore. Again, I don't know much about what the staff is planning to do, but posting rants and stupid stuff was allowed before, so my guess is that it will still be allowed now. I'm pretty sure that the rules will be the same, but now there will be more people moderating.

Getting a silver whistle or "fucking up" depends on you and you only.

Yeah, I also make some icons every now on then. Some people may think this does too little help, but at least you're improving NG and it's a good thing to do in your free time :)

Also, while making icons, I usually scroll to the bottom in the icon helpers page, because the flashes at the bottom are the most recent.

And by the way, there's also an icon making club, in case you're interested.

We use to use a strategy where he would build just military and I would just build the economy. He would build next to me so he could easily protect the both of us.

So with his 100 soldiers or so he would protect us and I would feed both of our economies with trade. There were times where I had so many farms and plantations built (infinite source of food and gold) that ever couple of seconds I had another 1,000 gold and food. Works great if one person doesn't mind not destroying things all the time.

That's a good, commonly used strategy, but if the opponent managed to destroy the economy player, the other one would be vulnerable since he would run out of resources. But once that both bases are set up, it can be an easy path to win :D

Usually while playing alone against friends I rush to build military units and catch them without nothing to defend themselves (my friends always end up getting angry, lol). While playing on teams, I sometimes use something similar to the strategy you just mentioned. Especially if I'm in the same team than a certain friend who is kind of a turtling guy who builds impossible-to-destroy fortresses.

And I don't think we've ever built a wall in number 3 while playing. In number 2 I used them all the time. Sometimes in layers of 5 or 6 walls when I had the resources.

Yeah, while playing AoE 3 I usually have the feeling that walls aren't that necessary. However in 2 I usually build them if I see the game will take too long, or if I'm playing against several people.

Also, on an unrelated RTS note, I want to reinstall Starcraft but I can't find the damn cd >:(

Woah, that was fast!

Yes, if you vote 0 on a submission while it's under judgment and it gets deleted later, you get a blam point. It happens when Wade deletes a bunch of spam flashes in a short time, busting everyone's blam points. This also encourages us to keep voting 0 on shit flashes, even if they will be saved.

omg how do you edit a post that flash better have the answer

I just filled it out, though I think that some of the questions were too random. But anyway, I hope it helps you in some way.

Now I'm getting this on every page. Only on the top though. I suppose something is being changed, but I'm saying this just in case.

It's pretty easy, you just type <code> followed by the code you want to write, and then you type </code>

So, basically, you do this:

<code>
Put all your code here.
</code>

Remember than this only works on the Flash and Programming forums.
