Unfair Justice - In My Opinion

[ReZTeR]

Well I have saw this happen twice to a friend of mine. He has put 2 animations on the portal and they have went down well with the users of Newgrounds, but to me the Newgrounds team just do what they like.

First: He submitted Arms to the portal [Link!!] it got a 4.16!! It got frontpage, which was took down within a few hours.

Second: He has just submitted Unglued to the portal [Link!!] it got a 4.17!! it got frontpage and second daily. To me, it looked like the newgrounds team didn't like this animation and it took a while for it get frontpage.

It's like Newgrounds don't want the users to see too much of these type of animations so they don't give them too much of the limelight.

I don't know if it's just me, but to me it looks like the Newgrounds team don't listen to the users as much as they should. Now I don't want flaming or anything on this because it's only my opinion and point of view. I am only asking for other peoples opinions and maybe an explanation.

The fuck are you talking about? Unglued IS on the front page. The other one you describe was put on the front page in MARCH - and you're surprised that's still not up there?

[Maus]

Maybe they were taken down because Tom found something he liked better. That is HIS front page to do with as he pleases.

Both of those movies are doing well for stick movies. Daily Second Place is nothing to sniff at. If your biggest gripe is front page, then you've got things pretty easy.

I misread that - but, you know - it's a Sunday. We may work hard, but are not around the site 24 hours of every day of the week, even if we do work seven days of the week. Quit yer whinging.

It was up for 2 days. That's normal fair for most frontpage rotations.

If it were me, i'd just be happy that people enjoyed my movie, which would be the reason i made and submitted a movie in the first place.

[Kaleidoscope]

Well its not your Web Page. If you don't like it I'd make my own website then you can make your animations on the front page.

I think it is getting decent exposure and the rotation was fair.

No shit Sherlock, if theres something BETTER and looks better made, then why have a stick fight in its place?

Next time detective, look whats replaced it, and its obviously going to be better.

I would have actually looked at your submissions if I hadn't read further down to see that you don't know what you're talking about.

liljim says that Arms was up for TWO DAYS. NOT a few hours.

Unglued (which I thought was badass) is still up, just like another user says.

This really has hurt my interest in you.

[ReZTeR]

I'm pretty sure it was up for a few hours.

[AlbinoZombie]

Arms and Unglued most definately deserves more than a few hours. thats just bullshit.

[Gheyz0r]

Albino doesn't like to read threads

They were doubleplusgood.

I'll trust the database logs over your memory any day. I suppose I should have handled this thread a little more diplomatically, so let's analyse your initial post in a little more depth...

Well - the front page is primarily Tom's play area. It's his site, he chooses what gets put on the front page of the site most of the time, although there have been instances where Wade and I have showcased content on the front page before. Anything that's put up there is either something we find fun (and might not accurately represent the vote score given by users) or something that we think our VIEWING audience might enjoy (which differs to the VOTING audience, given that far more people on the site watch animations on the site than vote for them).

First: He submitted Arms to the portal [Link!!] it got a 4.16!! It got frontpage, which was took down within a few hours.

I've already pointed out the flaw in that "point".

Second: He has just submitted Unglued to the portal [Link!!] it got a 4.17!! it got frontpage and second daily. To me, it looked like the newgrounds team didn't like this animation and it took a while for it get frontpage.

I've explained why it took a while to get there. What I should expand on is "it looked like the newgrounds team didn't like this animation and it took a while for it get frontpage" - if we didn't like it, then why would it even have been put on the front page in the first place? See paragraph one.

It's like Newgrounds don't want the users to see too much of these type of animations so they don't give them too much of the limelight.

Further to being added to the front page, both of these animations you linked are in collections. Submissions which go into collections follow the same sort of conditions that submissions that go onto the front page fall into. Now, if we didn't like those animations you linked, would we have gone so far as to put them both on the front page and in relevant collections?

Nice of you to join the programme.... Now reaquaint yourself with some facts before making statements like that, by ACTUALLY READING THE THREAD!

[Stamper]

I vote ReZTeR to be the one and only NG employee from this day forward...as I happen to think he could single handedly clean this place up and make it 100% better! I look towards the future with a huge smile knowing that ReZTeR can single handedly make millions of people happily content, all while managing a completely fair and enjoyable atmosphere to surround myself with every minute of every day.

Who's with me? I'll talk to the guys about handing in our resignations tonight. I figure, why continue our pointless quest when there's a single man who can change the face of the world?

[JeremyLokken]

Everyone wants a blowjob without having to ask for it. Newgrounds frontpage gives head like no other. And people want it for long periods of time and will say, "Look, that guy is getting longer head time than me, that's not fair, my penis is better quality and it took me a long time to make." As for the collabs, that's a different story.

[ReZTeR]

I asked for an explanation, and that's what I got, thank you. I withdraw my recent comments.

[mikemill123]

the wonders of a FREE service, you have no right to bitch and complain about it when its free. Tom pays to host the site thus can put whatever he wants on the front page.
