Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

Does this mean less overloaded site errors?

Well, I got quite surprised when Wade's page said "REDESIGN". Couldn't you have changed it to... upgrading or similar? And you could have also specified what were you upgrading at the time, it got quite confusing.

Well not on my shitty ancient computer.

Ok, I'm not sure if it has anything to do with this but here's my problem.
When i open up Newgrounds on my Mozilla Firefox browser the whole site is scrambled.
Pictures of one game for the icon of another, links don't work, the whole site looks like a giant bug.
I don't know if the upgrade is the problem but something is.
Please help me go back to using my favorite flash site in the world.

Your very sad newgrounds starved fan,

I need to upgrade my server, still way back on 4.1.22 haha.
Less internal server errors now? :)

The result? The entire site has been upgraded to MySQL 5! What does this mean for you? Faster database access... And the addition of a new, much faster database server into the cluster.

MySQL5? They don't have a 6th or a 7th? You could of made this site beyond fast and never had to worry for a good 15 years. Hahaha! Anyways, thanks for the upgrade. The servers were kinda getting slower. :/

Pico Day is this Wednesday and you can make money by running ads in your submission. More information and special Pico Day pre-loaders (with and without ads) are available in this thread!

I am definitely going to participate, but not flash wise. It's gonna be epic.

I see. I noticed 10 threads in the front page after I posted mine, immediately after improvement.

OK i got it to work
just upgraded to Firefox 3 beta 5

I just got a new computer, so I really can't tell if it is running faster now ;D. But still great, NG was a little bit slow in the past.

Also, Pico Day, I will probably work on something in flash. Although, I didn't start anything yet :0.

So that's why! I felt newgrounds was way more faster than usual, but I didn't know why!
Until I read this... XD
Anyway, thanks Tom! =D

Excellent

Awesome! Faster Newgrounds = happier me!

god damn ninjas

me either :P

god damn teletubies

im not pleased with the results.

Shortly after the upgrade today I got an internal server error on every single page I visited.

And yesterday - I caught glimpse of an ad on this site showing animal cruelty to bears.

Overall - not impressed.

It's the small things that make me realize why I love Newgrounds so goddam much.

Faster servers and less errors, I think I like this update!

SW33T!

Zoom, zoom, zoom!

sweet!

Oh joyous day! Thank you Tom Fulp.

eh, I never really had problems with the site running that slow, but still, cool.

I'm picking my nose.

Geeze Tom, you're only now upgrading to 5?
Tsk tsk.

With the clean hand, though!

NG v. 2.0.1.6.3, actually.

Hopefully no more Angreh Faic will pop up when I try to load a page now :P

Good job Tom and the rest of the Programing team!
