I've been browsing NG since 2001, finally got around to creating an account in 2005! After that, I pooped.

I got to beta test the NEWGROUNDS REDESIGN! (Pics included)

Posted by Jebbal - November 11th, 2011


Earlier today, glorious user TomFulp contacted me and offered a spot in the Newgrounds Redesign BETA testing group. Being the NG enthusiast that I am, I was quick to accept!

I gotta say, though... it's definitely not what I had expected. I mean, the interface is sleek and easy to navigate, and there are also a lot of new features (Most of them proving quite useful). But the whole thing bears a startling resemblance to Harvard student Mark Zuckerburg's surfacing social network project The Facebook. I'm not sure how this whole thing is going to play out as far as legal issues and whatnot, but I am still very excited for the official launch!

Here are some screenshots I took of the redesign in its current phase:

I especially liked how they implemented the premium paid features!

If you ask me, they're just doing all the right things here! Can't wait for it to be launched

Totally legit.

Well yeah! Is it even a question?

Looks legit

It IS legit!

I wonder what the voting system looks like in the beta.

It looks like this http://i43.tinypic.com/nt2ix.jpg

Stop talking shit ! :D

Who's talkin' shittttt?!?

I knew this was a Hoax when I got up to the "easy to navigate" part lol

Did you find the redesign beta difficult to navigate? I thought it was very user-friendly

it reminds me of something but im not sure of what.... maybe myspace....

It resembles The Facebook. We'll see how all that goes

How horrifying.

Sorry did the screenshots scare you?

Facegrounds... well finally I will use my Paid GOLD ACCOUNT

No, Newgrounds. They are also offering platinum and platinum plus accounts.

Now wait a minute, many of the features, icons, and ideas of this beta seem to be ripped directly from Facebook. Did Tom fire his artist? :((((

I'm not sure... you think maybe someone should talk to Tom? Ya know, see if there's anything he needs to get off his chest

is it true NG will also be completely removing the blaming system in an attempt to snag more "RICK ROLL"N" page views? I can't wait for the first front page rick roll!

I'm not sure what is in store for the blam/protect system. Everything in the beta still works in accordance to the current version of NG. The only thing we were able to see is the layout and some limited, new functionality.

Although, there are some hints that Newgrounds may adopt a system of "liking", similar to that of Facebook and Youtube.

*kills self*

No don't kill self!

Ew... this doesn't seem innovative at all.

*Goes back to Myspace*

LOL JUST KIDDING!

Yeah, I'm glad they aren't basing the redesign on the MySpace layout!

How are those bananas coming along?

The new Chat looks pretty cool.

Yeah dude, I liked it a lot. There are some new smileys you can use for it too!

The bananas are cookin' up good.

I can mail some to you, you know.

Could you please? I'm always ready to chow down on a good bananananananananana :)

lolz

This is not a laughing matter!

I would leave ng if that happened

Well, it's gonna happen eventually... You don't like the redesign?

Trololo

!ololorT

I got to ask though, how did you make that? Photoshop im geussing?

I didn't make it, those are actual screenshots from the beta testing. But if I were to ever fake something like this I would probably use Photoshop
