Happy Saint Patrick's Day! We made the site green. Also here's an animation by @Familypants and a comic by @ChazDude:

You can see more in the Saint Patrick's Day Collection!

If you ordered a Newgrounds t-shirt, they have been shipping out this week! I'm excited for mine to arrive, I'll have to post some pictures when they do. If you get yours this week, feel welcome to post a picture too, it will be fun to see everyone sporting the shirts!

In fact, if you post a picture of yourself in this thread, wearing one of the new NG shirts, I'll gift you one free week of the Supporter Upgrade if you don't have it! You can browse NG ad-free for a week and get the other perks that come along with being a supporter.

As always we are extremely grateful for anyone who becomes a supporter the traditional way and joins our Wall of Honor. I can't stress enough how important this is to the future of Newgrounds, as in, this is the ONLY future for Newgrounds. Right now we promote a monthly goal of $4000 because it's an attainable number that we can clearly attribute to our hosting bill but the reality is that we need a lot more than that each month to cover the gap between revenue and expenses. The first quarter of 2016 has not been kind; ad rates have been low and the majority of visitors are running Adblock nowadays.

I don't like having to discuss this topic in all of my posts but it's the reality of the site nowadays and it doesn't have to be doom and gloom - a supporter-driven Newgrounds would be vastly better than a Newgrounds beholden to advertisers. With enough supporters we can solve the long-term problems associated with a dependence on ad revenue while also creating endless new potential for how the site is visually laid out and operated.

So don't get sad when you see me pestering everyone to become supporters, get excited at the possibilities that lay ahead! Less ugly ads for non-supporters! More original sponsored content! Bigger prizes and ultimately expanded revenue-sharing for contributors! We can create a massive new movement in web content with your support!

That's my pitch for the day, enjoy St. Patty's Day!

Happy Paddy's day!
I love the style of the site. I really do love that green.
Well, I already have supporter but I'll donate 5€ if that's okay. I don't have that much money but at least, I try my best :)

Next time we should get Tom to model the shirts. That should make them sell.

Don't do anything that strains your finances, being a supporter already is a great help! I prefer to imagine A LOT of people paying $3 a month vs a few people going out of their way to help.

Happy St. Patty's day, folks! Seeing the green layout all of a sudden made me realize again how much I miss each of the portal's layouts having their respective colors. I understand the design philosophy behind making everything gray, but still.

Ah well, I mean I can look when the dollar is a bit weaker I can pay a little bit so you get more. International money is just all about value...Or otherwise said, if you gimme taco's and beer here to Germany I give 'ye my money hahaha

But srsly, I'll look on my money. I just want to support this awesome website.

The site skin is by @Wavechan! It was originally the Audio Portal skin in the 2012 redesign.

Why didn't you keep it? I loved it. Especially the green tankman in the bottom of the page!

I too love how the audio portal skin is used for today; it was a great idea :D

Happy Saint Patricks Day :)

I think they were trying to keep one uniform color across all of the different sections of the site.

If I buy a shirt, would you be mad if I turned it into a bag?

I WAS JUST THINKING THAT! I really like this green look. Would be nice to have color choices all year round. Maybe all holidays are color associated.

We decided to just go all grey with the current layout, long story. The skin may return in some form for audio in the next layout.

What size would you suggest for that? How big is the graphic? Im just asking because Id like a bigger graphic but Im not sure if its the same size on all shirts.
