Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

Yay another great feature to bad I suck at flash but I'm sure for others it will kick ass

Tom you rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey tom,

I got a good idea that will make newgrounds a little better.You should add a new profile to each memeber to newgrounds.But a profile that shows what you play on newgrounds.But to make it better then that.The more games or movies the person plays they grow levels.The person with the highest level at the end of the week gets his picture posted at the front page.

hey tom great job on the new audio system!!!!for flash.It may help out game makers

I like the Audio Portal idea. People who aren't so good with flash but can work with music programs can now share their creativity with NG.

I think we should be able to blam/protect the sounds though.

kool.DBZ is the best show

Is there not a way to preview audio clips before you download them? Flashkit.com allows you to preview, maybe you could work on that. Just a suggestion, David

Grrf, I want to upload my whole songs, I'm the best musician NG has ever seen, next to Shok. I'd so own that audio portal.

man, this should really help me out with things. there are some sound fx i just cant find, so hopefully i'll find them here at newgrounds.

off the hizzy fo shizzel my lil nizzle

This is a great idea. I've been having lots of trouble finding non-copyrighted music for my free flash animations.

Pretty good idea! I hope it works out well!

Don't forget to put music in people's profile, Jim.

1. Tom's working on the preview animation.

2. We do have a method of deleting content that violates the upload rules (e.g. copyrighted material). We just haven't started using it properly (except for one track I removed earlier today).

3. Maybe in the future, we'll add some way of users collectively deleting the content.

4. A whistle-type system does sound like a good idea.
11. Dunno about experience for voting.

12. I will add the audio listings into the profile soon. We're already cramming plenty of stuff in there - another list shouldn't hurt. :)

13. Commercial music is a threat - several users have already requested that their entries be removed from the Portal in the past because of threats from big companies.
15. Review writing might be put in there at some point.

This all sounds very good. What is the punishment for violators of the song stealing? Warning or termination?

I don't think people should get experience for voting.

Yeah, listing them in the profile would be nice.

Review writing seems unneccesary.

That sucks legal action has been threatened on some of the artists. Fucking greedy, L.A., coke using, pony-tail having, vegan bastards.

All in all. Cool.

P.S. At 6:00 each day, I'll be posting in my profile a picture of someone who is NOT Keyser Soze. Why? To help narrow down the list of who really is Keyser Soze, and because I'm a dork who is wayyyy to into my Grounds identity.

i dont think voting should get ex. points for one certain reason, even though it would be cool to listen to those files and vote. the problem is, you would have to download each sound and then listen to it. i guess voting could definitley be a good idea if there is ever a way to listen to the audio on the actual page instead of downloading it.

Wow, this is great, this gimes me a chance to sumbit stuff that i'm good at, since i don't know jack about flash.

heh cool

This is a freakin' great idea!

400k isnt big enough for anything other than sound effects.

What are people supposed to do for songs?

This is cool, it's always such a bitch to find good sound effects. I hope this catches on and people submit some good stuff.

This just occured to me. Will the Blam Club start excepting audio submission URL's to be blammed?

Changes are stupid :-( !!!

I checked out the audio portal and there should DEFINATLY be a way of previewing before you download!!!

Including whole songs in flash is often a misuse of flash. It is often better to create an effective 10-20 second loop to use as bg music in flash. And I think that is what Tom is trying to encourage with the audio portal. I'm sure everyone will appreciate it when we start seeing less of the 4mb stick animations with Limp Bizkit sound tracks...

Right on, brudda.

Today's NOT Keyser Soze is Devi from Jhonen Vasquez's comic, I Feel Sick. Who will Keyser Soze NOT be tommorow? Who knows?! (No wonder I never get laid.)

Crap, I cant get the music to download, it just sits there and wont even load to download... X.x

I figured that's what you where going to do tom, it's a great idea. I will say one thing though, the vote buttons for the audio section are kinda small, I think they would be easier to use if they were twice as big. Also will there be a way in the future to hear the clip before downloading it?

Brilliant! I love it! Great way for new artists to get noticed, and this will help a lot of people overall.

Although Public Domain sounds aren't that hard to find (for me, anyway, since I do things myself), it's nice to have a little something for when you're lazy. You get to choose from a bunch of categories, and you can show off your audio skills if you have any! A great addition. I just wish I could show my pixel art skills, heh.

Sounds cool! I hope that new flash submitters will take advantage of tis to imrove their movies. Nice idea!!

Wow! That's a great idea!!! *hugs Tom*
