Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

It is unfortunate that I have next to no experience in web development. I have plenty of experience coding at an undergraduate level and as an intern, but its not what you are looking for at all. Perhaps if you were willing to higher interns with the purpose of eventually moving them up to full time coders you could have more of an affect on what kind of programmers you get in the long run, but it is understandable there really is no substitute for already achieved excellence.

Have you considered allowing users interested in coding at taking a shot at implementing some of your lower priority features? You know, give some interested parties the option to do some work for the site that the site wouldn't necessarily hinge on, but would help in the long run, and then have a code review in house to decide whether to implement or integrate the code?

I've always wondered if a system like that could work, but it might just be more of a hassle for you guys in the long run. :/

Great to see you guys hiring. I don't know much about MySQL other then simple ways to destroy it...

You may want to check out Critical Security and find someone in there.

Awesome shirt :D

I'm shocked I was active enough to able to vote.
What exactly were the rest of you even doing?

I have to start doing the monthly voting more. =/

NG is a top 500 website? Who knew.

omfg job opportunity!!! that would be the ultimate dream! :O good luck to anyone that goes for it!

Ill be sure to vote for the month.

I've been reading through Tom's News post on the whole monthly voting thing and I've come across a question that I'm curious about.

What defines a user as "active"? Is it just the users that are in the top 2,000 experience-ranked users or if for some reason they do not vote at all during that month, is the next person in line eligible to vote for the monthly winners?

Cool. I'll see if people are interested.

I was pretty active, but where are account options? I only see account configurations.

Yes newgrounds is in the top 500 websites in the world. It is currently rank 419.

Thx I almost forgot ,

Hey Tom, has a monthly award ever been decided by exactly one vote?

dang it was cool to be nominated. I'm probably not going to win, but still it is neat seeing my flash on that ballot:) I'll still hope I get in the top 10 though!

Ai like pie yes
