It's cool to see him still around, partipating in the voting that's so vital to NG.

Speaking of old artists re-emerging, did you see that NEW Zero Dragon?

If you've never seen the Zero Dragon series, it's a cult classic from 2005-2006 and worth checking out.

Congrats to the winners and thank you everyone who keeps making this place special!

AustinBreed PMed me today with a fun theme for a Game Jam so expect an announcement on that soon.

[Bigfoot3290]

Congrats to the winners!

[HipnikDragomir]

A fine selection of movies this month.

Also, I see the forum colour has returned. What happened with that?

[NewgroundsMike]

Congrats to the winners!

Also WOO, 2nd!

I disabled the clickable skin, so it reverted to the traditional color. Still need to come to a conclusion about overall color changes. The store theme clashes slightly with the other grey in the layout and the text boxes could warm up the page if they were something in the range of NG yellow, which none of our text boxes currently are (would actually please oldschool fans of previous textbox colors).

I was heartbroken when you disposed of the old textbox colors. Anyway, great job to all winners and everyone else who tried, because EVERYONE is a winner in my eyes.

This is great news

[SlyFly00]

Just wondering, who and how determined the best of month animations?
After a quick scanning through works, checking for views and votes, I failed to understand the system (if it is based upon automatic calculations)

People are (somehow) chosen to list their favs of the month and they're all compiled into this.

It's bad news bears for me (again) since my parents want me to get out of the house on weekends. I'll probably have to skip this one unless it gets delayed till I'm back at uni

If the next one is over fall break again, I quit

[SlyFly00]

Well, we made it 16th place.
I guess it is good enough for first submission.

Seems interesting, but much of the text on the site is yellow, so a yellow theme for anything would, itself, clash. By textbox, do you mean the ones above that say Games, Movies, Art, etc? From one page, they do seem like a random assortment of colours, but I like how each section is different to keep it fresh. I do get what you're saying, though. Quite a dilemma.

I mean the text input boxes, like where you type in search queries or make a forum post.

Each month there is a pool of the top-ranked active voters from the previous month (ranked by experience points, which you get from daily voting). This pool votes for their favorites from the month and those become the winners! Overall it works pretty well but could always be better.
