Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

Go nuts and create like a poll or something to see an accurate representation of what the people would want as a feature or the top few voted features. That's what I would do.

A Friend's list. Yea, that does seem a little myspace-ish, but if you will do it, heres just one tip,
DO NOT MAKE A "TOP 8/12/WHATEVER" FRIENDS. Don't even let people organize the friends list into most important. Make it from when they got requested.

I could see the negatives in this, but I guess it could have some benefeits, especially knowing when people make news post.

Oh and I always had a question, is there already a way to check our posts on other users' pages or is that still in the works (or an obsolete idea altogether?) Many a times, I will post on multiple user's pages and forget to check back for a reply. And also, does the PM system have a way of checking "sent" messages?

add me plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I'll add U back !!

Yeah, DeadDuck is doing a good job illustrating of what I was talking about here on this page, along with others.

Also JimmyDallas, I had been thinking about possible spam in the forums, but it would be easier to moderate that spam rather than an author's page full of 200 "add me" comments. There's more than one man who can deal with problems on the BBS but only one person can moderate their own blog.

Friends would be a nice addition.

finally! one of my friends moved away recently and never goes on myspce cause he's always on newgrounds and youtube, so this is perfect.

If you do the friends thing, please make it unobtrusive. In someways I agree it would be cool, but even facebook takes it a little too far. I'd like the ability to add friends and perhaps be able to message them all or notify them of something, but I wouldn't want friend updates, feeds, or that list to be even above favorites on my user page. Maybe a box on the left hand side thats inconspicous and below stats.

if the friends system was implemented that might just be another chance for people to try to be the best with the most friends, plus after a while the novelty would wear off and nobody would care any more :/ but it would allow people to see who everyone likes :3

Well, aside from the gay myspace apps, it would be exactly like M.S
-Friends
-"Profile"
-Comments/PM's

Gratz to everyone.

I'm not really sure if I like the friends list idea...

Friends is cool, but only if you add me as a friend, Tom. :[

Awesome idea for the top friends, Tom. I think it would be a great feature. Also, congrats, Mr-Furball!

It's an interesting idea. I think if you made users able to add friends to their site, it might might help give exposure to their friends in an artistic sense.

I think that what a lot of people hate about Myspace friend lists is that a lot of people only seem to care about acquiring as many friends as possible --maybe for bragging rights or something. Newgrounds artists would probably use this to spread the word about their own work... They'd at least have a legitimate purpose for acquiring lots of friends. I can't really say whether it would be a good thing or a bad thing or whether it would be shallow or not.... I'd definitely try to use something like that to my advantage. You'd probably have a little from column A and a little from column B.

The friends list could be a great thing. I agree on the idea that if you find an interesting author, you will want to find out who they associate with. This could lead to unknown talented artist getting more views and more fans. I say you should implement it.

I did the MS150 last year to the beach its a fun time

Do it. It's cool:3

REBEL AGAINST THE MAN.

We really do need a friends system.

I never know when people are online or not.

I like the idea of a friends list, it would be interesting to have and make it easier to see what people are up to.

Congrats to Mr-Furball, my chances are slimming.

D:

I don't think a friend's feature is needed. I view my co-author list as my friends list, and someone's user page is only a dead end if they have nothing submitted. If you add friends, then more people will be less inclined to actually submit material.

When ever i go to someone's page, i click on some of their flash. If i liked it, and they have co-authors, i will click on their pages and view their other flash. I have seen lots of interesting flash that gets overlooked this way.

Do it. Newgrounds has nothing to use. Hardcore users will stay here regardless.

I would personally love to see the Friends feature. Do it Tom!

I like the idea of a Friend's Feature. We already have a CONTACT list for PM's so why not have a Friend's feature. It's just bumping up from what you already had.

Yay for friends list.

1) Allow Authors to PM-blast users who have them favorited.
2) Notify users of blog posts by their favorite authors.
3) PM notification instead of (or in addition) to email notifcations of new submissions.

I'm totally in for these. PM-blasting would be an awesome way to get views and listens. I'd totally love an opportunity like that. Although if you were to implement those features, that management system is a must- I, for example, would love to get notifications about new flashes and tunes from my favourite artists- but blog posts, not so much. etc, you know this

I think you need to seriously consider these features. These kinds of features = :D , no exeptions

Well, I still like the idea of having a "recent viewers" box.
