If people wanted to start a collab, they post it on a flash forums but not many people would find it. Should we suggest newgrounds to add a collab forums? I think it would be better. Would you think so? Please exclude the NG Collab website, this is useless.

If the collab is interesting enough they do.

Take a look at this thread for example. You can't honestly tell me that went unnoticed.

The Flash forum is good enough for it. Adding a forum exclusively for collabs would just result in a bunch of users making collab threads when they have no intention of going ahead with it as well as really crap collabs.

No it isn't.

Post ideas for Newgrounds in this thread.

hell no. that site reeks of fail. but a collabs section here would turn into that. just leave it how it is in the flash forum.

Yes. That way collabs in the Flash forum will be pretty much definitely done and will be decent submissions.

NGcollabs.com is a place for the not so great collabs, although there are exceptions. Also people are much less likely to make a silly collab on that website than they are if there was a forum for it here.

You all like to try to put ngcollabs down yet you know absolutely nothing of it.

I'll admit that when I first joined NGCollabs I was skeptical to say the least. I thought that there was no way in god these people could create good collabs well, I was wrong.

NGCollabs exists for over a year now, it started as a small place for people who didn't fit in or didn't like the NG forum creative enviornment . Now it is quite a thriving community, tens of collabs were produced through it and collabs are being created fast and reliably, most of them reach daily awards and get frontpaged.

Now you can go all you want about the quality and how ngcollabs doesn't sound high-end because everyone is welcome and we don't tell people how to act or what to do, in ngcollabs the only rules in a collab thread are dictated by its starter. The fact is we were offered several times much broader ng site integration and we turned it down. We are undergoing a move to NG hosting as we speak but that's as far as the community is willing to go.

You can bitch about a collab forum but the bottom line is we both know I understand the dynamics of collab creation, ng, web creation and flash in general considerably better than you.

Also, if you read the collab rules (as listed here), if you want to make a collab disregarding the rules as stated, you can do so in the mentioned collab area.
