Newgrounds Is Going Old-school 2013-03-28 16:55:49


Tom and I have been talking lately about the Literature Portal, he told me that it is still being working on. Mainly because Newgrounds is going old school. Due to the feedback about this current design, he plans on reverting the site to one of the older designs. Which one? I'm not entirely sure.

Each user should be able to choose how Newground looks for them. Choosing between designs.

You like this design better? I do too. It seems like few people like this design better than the old one.

The only problem I have with the current design is that the bbs is poop coloured.
The dynamic backgrounds are the second best thing ever.

Don't you have any love for nostalgia?

Response to Newgrounds Is Going Old-school 2013-03-28 17:17:22


I really don't care. This design is alright, the last one was alright, and im sure the ones before that were alright. I like pretty stuff as much as the next guy, but I really don't care. shouldn't functionality and content come first?

The new design is great though. But hey, I wouldn't mind a literature portal.

Wait! This layout and the one RIGHT BEFORE IT are the best!

2011 had my favorite layout. I think THAT is how it should be. Otherwise, just leave this the way it is.


Seriously love the Miestas zeitgeist....

OH thank god. A better design and a person who deserves no recognition leaves.
It's like getting a 2 for 1 deal.

Good call, as it stand the layout is a bit juvenile; bubbly.


I tried, later then.

Would be neat with the1999 layout just for a while, I never got to experience that one. :) Really though, the 2007 design was great, a hybrid with the best of that and this would be awesome.

Wish I could, but I usually keep my Inbox pretty clean due to The Interviewer stuff and the multiple messages of Amaranthus.
