Newgrounds and improvement ideas etc

Posted by DGPlasm - May 31st, 2024


Just wanted to say that I really love how welcomed I feel on Newgrounds. I don't know if I'll ever post art on Instagram or Twitter anymore. Over there it only cares about numbers, so it pushes the AI shit while your own work that you spent hours or even days on gets no attention. Newgrounds feels like a safe haven for me as an artist, you know.


If I had one suggestion, it would be good if typing tags on posts here didn't automatically show a bunch of nsfw ones. I feel that can leave a bad impression for artists who aren't interested in that stuff. (Some artists I know said that they thought Newgrounds was just a porn website.)


Maybe only have those tag suggestions appear when the Adult filter is enabled. I feel that Newgrounds can really become a shining light for more artists if some little improvements like that are made.


Idk if Tom Fulp will see this, but yeah. Thanks again for keeping this platform going.

With all the projects on our list it's hard to say if this will ever get to the top of the list but it is a great idea and I've made a ticket for it.

I'm thinking that besides checking if you have Adult enabled in your filters, we could also check if your post or project has already been given an adult rating.

That would be amazing, thanks so much for the response! :)

yeah, YEAH!!!
Rock on brother???

I felt the same way, its so impersonal on those platforms you may as well be offering your art up to a tornado. NG is a breath of fresh air online tbh
