Is newgrounds.com Legit?

I gotta be honest my time using the site was horrible.I had received negative comments on the daily from random users over my art. A time someone sent me a message over my work and whining. Then the ratings system, its horrible. I received bad ratings even on work that I worked hard on that looked decent. I only had good ratings on my suggestive art that should tell you something. The community there shows favoritism, act as if they are in a competition as well. I have stopped using the site to avoid the negativity I've received on newgrounds, I will not be returning.

As someone who joined on 2020 and first entered on 2014, and used to play and see the games and movies on here by other sites, I can tell this website was in part ruined thanks to the FNF fankids and Twitter artists who migrated in masses. Despite of this, thanks to the other site of users and contributors, this site is still enjoyable, and we won't forget what it was before 2021, an important piece of web history.4 honest stars.

Newgrounds is okay at best. I joined NG in hopes of finding a DA alternative. All was not what I expected; it’s nearly impossible for new users to have their work seen unless the work is Friday Night Funkin fanart or their art fits the community’s standards. The star rating system also leaves an open door for abuse and turns art into a competition for popularity instead of personal passion. Relatively speaking, while it’s certainly advisable to take critiques, people’s opinion on one’s work (I.e star ratings) does not ultimately merit their talent because art in itself is a subjective topic There’s good art, games and movies I can watch for pastime but they aren’t enough to save the site in my opinion

I hasn't been easy for Newgorunds and others to adapt to the changing technologies of the web these past few years. Newgrounds is doing very well, and most importantly, have their heart in the right place. I will always support them. Oh, and you can play some great games there too!

I have a review about how bad discord support is, if you don't know what that is don't worry about it because you don't need to know it's just really bad. But this website is like worse somehow. They don't even tell you they deleted your account and they do it for the dumbest things possible. I know what youre thinking that im just a salty kid that got his account deleted so im now ranting about it but no, I only ever posted one comment on the site and that was it. I said no swears all i said was that the dude's thing was bad because the site gives you rating and you can rate things from 0-5 stars and i just gave 0 stars and said it was not good and i know this is why my account was deleted because it was the next day i had not used the site after i left my comment and yeah that was my first comment ever on the site so i mean not even a damn warning, it just got deleted right away and not even an email informing me that it got deleted. What a joke. If you wanna use this site then you better keep your mouth shut and not leave any negative comments.

Game developers scammer. We generated 98$ by publishing our games in that site and now we cannot get that 2$ to receive payment(100$ minimum payout).

They are not only games to play but movies,audio,art you can spend hours and hours there and never get bored.Good website no popups no malicious ads.

The rating system needs to be overhauled. There is a huge culture of “zero bombing” whereby users systematically and anonymously vote 0 on projects in order to drastically reduce the projects’ scores, perhaps partly to get their own projects higher up on ranking lists. Therefore, most projects go by unseen, with ratings that do not reflect merit, and users whose projects are zero bombed may be inclined to do the same to counteract, resulting in a vicious cycle. This is an issue not only for artists but also perusers, who due to this will not get to experience many high-quality projects. The issue is especially prevalent in the audio section, but is also a problem in other areas. The community at large has complained about this issue for many, many years and offered many suggestions to fix this, including fraudulent vote detection, which a site like this should have but strangely Newgrounds seems to lack, at least to any effective capacity. Until Newgrounds can overhaul their primitive and backwards voting system they get a “one bomb” from me (no zero available here unfortunately), and unlike the aforementioned ratings on Newgrounds, this score is intended to be accurate.

Uploaded my plush as art then got deleted

Great community. Have been a forum admin for a while now.

I used to be really cool there. I feel too old with some of the comments.

“There's a lot of offensive content so not for children”

I tend to stick to the first page animations and games these days but several years ago I devoured this place nearly everyday. I saw a lot of bad things on there as a child, even though I stayed away from anything labeled "mature" or "adult" (they have a rating system but not everyone uses it correctly). Still, if you're bored and looking for entertainment, there's years of free animations, games, music, and art to brighten your day with. A lot of the stuff is aimed at a more geeky audience but there's something for everyone if you're willing to look for it.

“The Best Website in the World”

Newgrounds is the best website ever. That's all there is to it. I think I need to fill this up now. I like Newgrounds.It's fun and cool. They have games/movies/audio/art. You can upload your own stuff. Amazing

“Perfect, made for creators by creators like it says”

Nothing really to say. This is the original site for flash animation and games. There's so much of an underculture to it and influential series that you wouldn't believe. It's declined in recent days though.

“Best website in the world”

I just love this website for everyone. I like watching the cartoon movies people make and I love the music. It also has a lot of fun free games to play. You can add games, movies or music and other people rate them, which is fun. Newgrounds also has a very good forum

“Good site”

This is the best flash video site. While I would give this site 4 stars instead of 5 is because they allow adult content. Other than that it's great. That's about it. Tip for consumers:Ebaums is great, but this site is better. Service Value Quality

“Flash content all the way”

A great gathering of any flash content - movies, games, slides etc. Accessible from everywhere - so this can also be a great timekiller while waiting for something =)

“Like another reviewer said, this site is all about...”

Like another reviewer said, this site is all about its own motto "Everything, by Everyone." This site brings together a lot of flash movies, games, and even self created music. A lot of these works end up being collaborations by many of the community, and seeing ones with some of the "well-known" users, you know you are in for a treat. Be careful around the site however, this community has its share of trolls, bullies, etc. There is also a porn section, however they don't wholly promote it on the front page, and have an 18+ warning to ensure that youngin's try to stay away from that area. Many laughs will be given on this site, and many s#! Ts will NOT be given from the site.

“This is a very good website I visit daily”

This is a very good website I visit daily. It has everything you need to keep you entertained for the whole day. The website has user-submitted flash videos and games, with a commenting and rating system that is very effective, and also adding to your favorite flash videos/games etc. The website also has a audio submission system, with many great sound files being submitted to newgrounds every day, and all of them able to be downloaded so you can listen to it on your computer without the internet. The site also comes with a entertaining forum, also some parts of it will be for mature audiences only. A very good site that I highly recommend for web-browsing people.

“(Please note, My reviews are completely opinion-based”

(Please note, My reviews are completely opinion-based. In other words, just from MY experience from the respective website.) I love a lot of the animations on newgrounds, there are many talented users on there. It's over all a pretty good place for flash games, flash animations, music, and much more. Tom Fulp did a pretty good job. 5/5

“Pathetically unoriginal”

If you enjoy carbon copy clones, sign up! Everyone emulates one another, argues with one another, and ignores one another. Then they claim to be a 'community' Truly laughable.

“Full of entertainment”

I've spent a lot of time on this website when I was a teenager. It was really great then and it still is now. Always full of an endless supply of funny games and videos.

“I liked the site at first, with all of its lovable...”

I liked the site at first, with all of its lovable games and animations, and humorous staff. But then I saw its dark side: Trolls, Perverts, Racists, and WAY too much porn. The games and cartoons make it look good, but the bullies and adultery will make you click the close button.

“Site has more interesting unique user made games, music...”

Site has more interesting unique user made games, music and movies than you could ever absorb. Lots of great quality stuff, makes the stuff people try to charge you for look like complete garbage.

“A Great Community”

This site surely has its heart in the right place. Very few or even no ads. Been going forever. Quality place to be!

“I really like this site it has great content made by...”

I really like this site it has great content made by real people. The games and movies are awesome and so is the flash portal.

“Reccomended to any animaters”

Reccomended to any animaters - this is an amazing flash portal where you can view and share yours and other people work It is based around flash, which is used to make: Flash games Flash animations And many more It keeps me entertained for hours and is completly free. Have a look and tell me what you think Its defiantly the biggest open source flash portal

“''What happened to this site?!''”

Back then it was great and there where great things but now it's full of porn and other bad stuff...

“This site stands by its motto "everything”

This site stands by its motto "everything. By everyone." Very creative and clever-- Politics, Arts, and Programming are a few examples of what this site offers.

“Thanks”

I like to play different games. This is my hobby. I'm glad to deal with you. You help me have fun with my friends.

“30th review”

“I bookmarked Newgrounds.com when I was in middle-school”

I bookmarked Newgrounds.com when I was in middle-school. That was almost ten years ago. Newgrounds.com is still in my bookmarks. Need I say more?

“Good place to kill time, all types of crazy flash games...”

Good place to kill time, all types of crazy flash games including the "penguin" series of games..

“Newgrounds has many choices of games”

Newgrounds has many choices of games. You'll have fun in visiting this site.

“This site is great...”

This site is great... flash games... salad fingers...
