I wouldn't mind a feature where we could select a few of our submissions to display on our page as main attractions as well as recent stuff (think featured wotsit on Deviantart pages). That way, when people visit someone who has tonnes of random spam in his collection, they can instantly know which ones are worth checking out.

#5: Non Credited Authors needs an "Other" option for sure.
5. Yeah that does seem to be missing there. :)
I think throwing in some parts like Voice would be helpful too, as some submissions rely on a particular VA but not necessarily in a way that they'd require a proper co-author.

Just a heads up - we have removed the mandatory 1% rev share. There are a lot of existing agreements between people and wonky situations, so at the end of the day it isn't our job to force people on the topic of money.
Remember kiddies, it's monthly voting time! Make sure to try to avoid voting for NG made things like the MGS Collab or Tom's Madness game since they'll be exempt from prizes.
There's been a lot of good flashes this month so a winner won't be an easy thing to bet on.

Also Flash Ads aside, wouldn't typing in crap concerning prizes be redundant since we're gonna have to PM Bob anyway to tell him how to split any money/what shirts people want/etc?
The idea is, that you won't have to do that.
So like, is there gonna be an additional dropdown list added that says something like:
Wonchop - Author - 99% Rev - He would quite fancy a Tankman shirt plz
I guess it would be ideal if there was a special page dedicated to recieving prizes, where you could then assign revenue sharing and prizes on one convenient page, as well as additional options like if you'd prefer a cheque or paypal payment.

As far as the title bit goes, it's pretty neat, but it would be nice to select multiple jobs for one person. (For example, for something like Credit Crunch, I'd credit TheWeebl as Writer, Voice and Music.)
Eventually the layout may be wider and submission thumbnails may be larger, so that space may not feel so crowded in relation.
Oh god does that mean we'll have to redo our icons so they're not all pixelly and stuff? D= It's Sheezyart all over again.
And the 1% thing does indeed blow balls, especially if you're just editing the old submissions that have long since lost their chance for ads or awards and thus aren't gonna be making any money anytime soon.
Sorry if I'm feeling a bit greedy. I blame Wario.

How did Dawn of Madness not get 1'st place? D:
It was based on a panel of judges as opposed to scores and views. Thus some of the flashes that exhibited more originality and style in the animation got the top spots.

Is it just me, or was this Madness Day much less exciting as last year? The animations on both years are equally good, but everybody was just so happy last year. Even Tom made three posts about it last year.
Well the fact it was on a Monday, not to mention the start of new terms at school, morale ain't that high.
I hope people enjoy my movie, despite the slight 'godyoureaprickforreleasingitadayearly' stuff I've had from a few people.
Some good submissions today, particularly the animation on Black Angel, even if the guy needs a little advice on how to keep sound in sync when exporting. (You can watch it normally if you right-click pause and play once the sound starts btw.)
Although we're seeing a trend for submissions rising into the 4.40s ever so quickly, when a few years ago you wouldn't get those kind of scores even if you gave blowjobs to everyone who watched it.
