I know this may seem stupid to some but i kind of like the idea of making a newgrounds magazine that could be printable and readable through the Internets!

I know some of you will leave bad remarks but if you support the idea we users could probably make a big ol' ezine team to make the NG Chronicle or NGC which informs users of many updates,important news from the staff at NG and flash game previews from developers!

If you wanna do this just continue this thread and chat about it and i will ask Tom for permission if you the users think its a good idea.

Nah. Why print it out when we could just read everything on the computer?
It would damage our eyes either way.

I doubt that would work much better than the online version did:

NGMag was a work in progress that never quite made it to completion. Much of it will return with upcoming features!

Alphas and interviews will both return, don't worry!

Im getting misunderstood here,im saying if users would like they could either print it and read it or read it through their pc.

And i know about NG MAG already,it failed and what im saying is that we "the users" should create a team of about 20+ and upload it through the Internets for people to view!

It would much more simple to just say that it would be a .pdf

Ah I see what you're getting at. Well, that would be a lot of work to get it organized and you'd have to talk to Tom about it before you do it. I'm not sure how well it would work considering the NG Mag basically failed, but if you actually do it, I'll be sure to check it out.

Why stop at magazine? Why not make a television station, no, an entire Newgrounds network!

Why stop at a TV-network? Why not make NG a country of it's own, yes, and it'd have it's own spaceprogram!

Not the worst idea.. If you get this rolling, I'd like to help. Even if we only got as far as a couple issues, it wouldn't be a complete waste of time..

there was NG mag.. it failed miserably because it was never updated and nobody really cared.. i think it can be done again but it would have to be different.

maybe you can organize the magazine and maybe collaborate with people to get it off the ground.. there are a few users that do interviews with NG artists and admins im sure they would help you out

Who remembers that flash a long while ago that was a virtual NG magazine? It looked like you found on the sidewalk and you could flip the pages and everything. Surely I'm not the only one to remember this.
First one to find it wins a cookie. :3
