So basically I found a website that allows you to send people to websites to test their functionality so I tried it on newgrounds.com video here


Does anyone actually read these?

Did you have to pay for that? Or did you find a way to have them do it for free?

Nice little review. Good thing he didn't go deeper into this site or else he would in for quite a surprise! Come on. He kinda look at this site at a innocent point of view, and we all know this site isn't all that innocent. lol

This is the company's main website. It looks like they've offered this kind of service at a premium for years.

The problem with getting random people to review a site is that sometimes you get people like that that don't really understand how to review a site's functionality. He spent 5 minutes looking at header bars and 2 submissions, and concluded that the site was wholly about cartoons, without exploring userpages, art, audio, the forums, or the portals.

Well, it is about those things, but that's just what it hosts, not what Tom really created it for. Not that he would know that, because he didn't read it.

Glad he didn't visit those.

I for one would like to see how he would've taken the General forum.

good to see an outsider testing newgrounds, though they hardly scratched the surface
interesting concept nonetheless

This was actually pretty interesting, getting an outsider's view of NG and all.

The peek site itself is also pretty cool. Thanks for the link OP, enjoyed it.

Damm that guy sucks at reviews

Jokes aside Newgrounds is one of the most functional websites i used .

We got nothing to hide aside from hidden porn section. Oh wait that is the first thing you see on google "adult games on newgrounds":

A really interesting point was how the site's name "Newgrounds" doesn't really connect with the sites purpose/functionality.

For a new user, I can totally see how the site's name wouldn't make sense.

If only the slogan was "Charting newgrounds of creative entertainment" would it possibly make more sense for the first time user.

Thanks! I came up with this at least a year ago. I think it makes more sense given there's a bit of a play on words with newgrounds and charting. Where charting usually implies map making. Creative entertainment is broad enough too for games, movies, art, music, 3d modeling, sculpting, and even web programming.

On the flip side...., everything, by everyone sounds too abstract & vague to me. Like, the question is WHAT kind of content is on the site? Like, everything by EVERYONE?? What does that even mean? It's not concrete at all. Even idealistically, I really doubt that Newgrounds could cater to EVERYONE'S thing.
