Reviews for Being a Helpful NG'er

MHM!

A very helpful flash for new users and regulars alike!

Graphics 6/10- Nothing to rave about here. Very basic, but at the same time, full of simplicity.

Music 7/10- A classic tune, if nothing else. Maybe next time have a music bar! You know have a bunch of songs? It'll offer alot more selection. ;)

Content 10/10- Ah, the main meat of the flash was very well explained and detailed. Going into alot of groups that help Newgrounds. Very informative here. Perhaps explain other concepts such as whistle points, B/Ping, depositing. But then again, that could all be seen in the FAQ.

Anyways, nice flash work guys! :D

Great! It helped me...

...and it's demonstrated here. My first proper review:

Quality of visuals: 8/10
Nothing really needed to be said, pretty simple graphics, nice and easy to read the information. My suggestion is that you make, say, a more colourful background. Also, a few of the images are a bit crummy, but otherwise very good.

Quality of audio/music: 9/10
Who doesn't like a bit of ParagonX9? Nothing else to really say here. You could make a button sound, but that's being pretty picky.

Quality of content: 10/10
Self-explanatory. Information goes into great detail, and it's easy to follow. Tells you basically everything you need to know when you join here. It was, surprisingly, not boring and persuades the reader to do good things. That's how I came about to write a review like this.

Every person should come here and have a look. There may be some things that they didn't know about Newgrounds.
Impressive work overall!

An incredible flash for begginers

Althrough it's basically a bunch of typed up pages, this is a very important flash because of the information and guidence it holds. It is kind of like a sign that says "Go this way for success".

It teached me about the groups on NG that I didn't know about before (such as the NGPD and EGB). So thank you for making the flash.

The only bad thing about this flash is that it is kind of short, meaning that you should put more tabs and sections about other things that people can do to help newgrounds. A "how to make a good flash" and a "how to make a good audio file" or something like that would make this great.

Again, thanks.

RohantheBarbarian responds:

How did I not think of that? I should have included a flash/audio section. Oh well.

Extremely useful.

While this is a great way to encourage people to take part in NG more, there are a couple things it could do with:

Firstly, it could've done with mentioning the Google advanced trick when the search bar doesn't work. For those that don't know what I'm on about: go to Google, and hit the 'advanced search' option. At the bottom there's a 'search within site or domain' box. Type/paste "http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/" into that box (minus the " " symbols), and then enter your keywords into the top search box.
This is good for finding things that can't be found by the search bar, or things that are buried in hundreds of pages of results.

Also: you're right, it is a bit text heavy. Considering most of the text-walls are copied from their relevant places on NG, a simple summary would've sufficed here (and if people would want to know more, the links to the full explanations are right there).

All that said, it remains a very good flash. I wouldn't have found half of the stuff it pointed me to on my own.

Pretty nice

This was a nice helpful guide, good for a few pointers.
The graphics are great, as well as nice music choice.
The interface was easy to use.
However, I didn't like the bad quality of the examples, of the copied images, although it didn't really affect what was the image proving.
I felt like it described about clubs too much O_o. I mean, just because you are not in one of those clubs doesn't mean you are helping NG. Same goes vice versa.
BTW, you should also give some advice on submitting flashes, like what proper place to submit a demo, and also if you're submitting a flash to NG that's not spam, you're already helping NG by supporting its purpose.
