will thank Tom for Front Paging them in notes etc. Although their choice does not always mean that they are particularly impressed by the work, being Front Paged is usually treated as something exciting and prestigious- typcially authors etc. They may choose what they personally like what they believe attracts traffic to the site or what they think people are looking for. The Front Page also has a special area above P-Bot's postings where users with a certain amount of experience points can post messages for all of Newgrounds to see.Ī picture of the front page of newgrounds.Īdministrators, usually Tom Fulp, but sometimes Wade Fulp, choose submissions to feature on the Front Page using a number of different criteria. As well as containing featured web content that is personally selected by the site administrators, the front page also has an area where popular or regularly viewed artist's news posts will appear. It also contains a listing of the most recently uploaded flashes that have been put on the portal. This page also contains links to Newgrounds' Twitter, Facebook, and Youtube pages, as well as an additional link to the area that houses all games with medals on the site. P-bot also has a permenant place here linking to top submissions. As Home page, it acts as a hub for all the other pages and clicking on the header of any page. Having one's work featured on the home page is compared to being put on the front page of a newspaper- being 'Front Paged' and is an essential concept in Newgrounds culture. This box in the upper left side always contains site news from Tom Fulp, typically whatever competitions etc are being promoted and new features for the site. The home page of Newgrounds- the page that takes you to - is usually refered to as the Front Page by users.
