Stamper just sent me a mock up or G-bot.
Since he's in charge of the boards, he's more of a paperpusher haha.
but it should be cool. not sure about the sword.

Maybe a shredder built into his chest or abdomen would look sweet; but your other bots look solid so I'm sure this one will be cool to.

Im just wondering how long it would take to draw those new bots because i on the other hand have absolutely no patience.

Haha, nice, thats very close to stampers design!, Stampers Bot has like a paper Feed coming from the chest.

That sounds great. When do you think you'll have it done?

Great Idea to archive all the frontpage features, this helps artists get exposure even after their entries have been retired from the frontpage spotlight :D

I'm glad that archive has finally arrived. It'll certainly help me out when I'm looking for certain flash that I want to watch from eons ago that I forgot the name of. I think I was just looking for one recently that took me a good solid week to find on the site.

As for the Bots: I can't say I don't like them. I'm obviously a suck up just for having an opinion though. Also quite obviously an asshole for the same reason. I also have no room to judge them, not having flash out myself. Oh yea, I'm also still a teenager, so I'm just a greasy haired little fuck anyway. Not to mention I don't know anything about anything because I only signed up this year.

Seriously, throw in the towel you three. All of you suck for your own reasons (<3).

But yea, the Bots are cool lookin'. I did like the last ones, but I wouldn't say I was actually attached. It was just more of a "that's always going to be there so I'll ignore it" thing. The new ones catch the eye more, which I like, and I think is almost necessary for a good design.

Yeah, your Bots is somehow different, but that's not bad ! Anw, talking about Front page collection - good job, Tom ! From now I can stop making mine ! I have all front pages since 2003 05 19 :)) Just tell the date. For example, here is a NG Front page in 2003 06 21 ;)

haha cool man. I got a few screengrabs of old NG frontpages from whenever I got some of my games put up :)

he looks too kiddy :o Mostly because of the eyes.

I liked Andrew's style better as far as P-Bot goes. Looked cleaner and more professional, more mega-man esque n' all, thought that might not be what you want anymore.

yeah well Andrew is a little prick.

It doesn't matter who makes the design/pictures for G-bot. As long as he gets his own picture one day, it will be great. I would like to see some pictures of him whenever someone gets it done. Take your time, it's not an emergency (typing an obvious fact) :)

We could even start a contest about G-bot's pictures. People could send ideas or pictures, etc. That would be fun but it might be pointless.

When you get some talent, junior.

If anyone should be questioning their whereabouts on the front page, it's me.

And here's why - this is a screenshot of today's Top 50 of all time.

And if you don't believe me, check it yourselves on the portal page.

I think the archive is a great idea, but there's something I've seen lately that I don't like. When is the "Featured WEB Content" list going to stop growing? First it wasn't there, then it was only two items, then four, and now six. Geez.

Tom likes the Idea of a G-bot character.

a Contest would be cool. But I think Stamper ruff design already nailed it.
we'll see tho.

Yeah, there should be a game with a character named G-bot...

Sure, let's wait and see what happens (that's the only thing I can do). I'm not good at drawing so my suggestion affects other people.

O_o We aren't typing about making a game but a game about the bots would certainly be fun to play. I'm sure that at least one of the artists submitting his stuff on NG will consider the idea.

Man, I must have missed all this andrew dickman stuff. Where/when did he express his hate for this site?

Awesome Tom - thats a really cool idea

that Idea would rock. maybe the Bots are fighting Crappy Swf , to get to the chosen files, or somethin :-P

yeah, if you gave him all those
add ons, it will start to look like
a gundam wing robot. which would
be really different compared to the other
two's style. though i wonder where
are we going to be able to view it
when its done? because a and p-bot
are nicely located in the audio and flash
portals, would g-bot be located in the bbs
area? or would we have to look at his profile,
if he has one, in order to see it?
just curious :d

that would be fun, especially if
riftmaster did it. i liked playing his
recoil game and it would be awesome
just imagining it with the ng bots.
just seems like he would be the
man to do the job.

yeah, and riftmaster coding has become even more kick-ass.
But I think he's neck deep with a really big game with Ed.

maybe its a sequel to clubby the
seal!

Hey not a bad idea! :D
But we are working on a new game, and we're going to do a feature on it for the Previews section of Diverge.ws soon, and I think people are gonna be surprised at what the new game actually is :)

Wrong, there is a way to go back even further, to retrieve old NG front pages from as far back as December '98! I found an archive of the old front pages when I typed NG's address into the WayBack Machine . (It even goes as far back as when the website was called New Ground Atomix!) As far as I know, you can retrieve old versions of the Portals and Collections pages too, as long as you copy their web adresses in to the serch box.

(NB. Only the really major updates are stored here, like when a new layout is created, not just any old news or Daily Top Five.)
