TheTankTribune's News

Posted by TheTankTribune - April 3rd, 2023


The Tank Tribune is currently undergoing a renovation. New segments are looking to be added. Some new features. Looking to highlight as much of Newgrounds as possible going forward. The next issue will be a mega issue. To celebrate all that Newgrounds has accomplished.

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

Good Morning Newgrounds! If you have been away from the site for a while, the General and Politics Forums have been closed down. There's a lot stirring up involving what happened, what's going on, and some users have left the site due to this. I won't be touching on any of that today. I am more concerned with moving forward and making Newgrounds a better place for everyone here. Perhaps it was about time to put an end to General. This is after all a place meant for creativity first and conversation second. I won't lie that I have met some of my Newgrounds friends and acquaintances through the General and Politics Forums. I at the same time have met more through Clubs & Crews and Video Games. I met @Fro through the Review Request Club, I met @ZJ through the Video Games Forum, and others through the My Little Pony Club in the Clubs & Crews. It was an amazingly fun ride, one I thoroughly enjoyed. At the same time, I wish more people would have discussed the amazing talent and skill we have on the site. The only thing I mainly saw was people questioning and/or hating on the popularity of FRIDAY NIGHT FUNKIN'. This issue has ended up coming out late because of it. This issue will not be covering any news today. It is a special edition that is dedicated to the closing of these two forums. There will also be new information regarding where things have been moved around. Next Sunday's issue will be the mega issue. With a huge Phonograph and a celebration of what makes Newgrounds great!

General and Politics

On March 22, 2023, the General and Politics forums have been closed. No new threads, replies, or posts can be made in either of these forums. Tom had already weighed on closing the Politics forum in the past. The close to the General forum came to a shock to a lot of users here on the site. With that said, staples of the General forum have been migrated to other forums.


Greeting Club - New User Intro Thread!

Formerly known as New User Introduction Thread!


This is thread where new users can introduce themselves to the site! The Tank Tribune will be featuring the new users who come on the site from this thread going forward, starting with next week's issue.


Frong Page Suggestion Thread

@Bit made this thread to make suggestions to Tom about what should go on the frontpage of Newgrounds. This has been split into four threads in four forums. In the Animation, Game Development, Art, and Audio Forums respectively. Here they are below.



Sections that will not be returning to the site are Threadgrounds, Quotes of the Week, and Pic of the Week. The Supporter of the Week will continue on. The Tank Tribune will also be featuring more community stories from blogs.




iu_932348_8044563.png


Below are some key threads from the General and Politics forum as an In Memoriam of sorts for both forums. It has been fun. Here's a look back.


I'm the first to post, worship me..

The first thread ever posted to the Newgrounds Forum. It was created by @zoro on February 22, 2001. It set the standard early on for what the General Forum was in store for. It is incredible that this thread still stands to this day with its simplicity. It has since been locked so no new posts can be added to it. It is now a relic to look back in awe. Members who posted in this thread that are still on Newgrounds include @ToonHole@DingleberryClock, and @olskoo. With returning member @TFX.


I feel lucky today

Created by @MetalDart on September 15, 2007. Each thread has its own ID number so it can be easy to find and track. This happened to be thread number 777777. Quite a lucky number to get.


Funny thread title pairs.

Created by @Rohedin on April 11, 2007. Sometimes two threads would be matched up by coincidence on the forums and it was always funny to see it. Then parody threads would pop up with the original thread and then it wasn't much of a coincidence anymore. The thread was fun, but it got out of hand and became a +1 fest so it was locked. It is fun to look back on it though.


The Newgrounds Tank Wall project

Back in 2009, @Elios had a large part of his wall and decided he was going to add the Newgrounds Tank Logo to it. This project blew out of proportion and then the members of Newgrounds started having their names added to the wall. Even though Elios doesn't live there anymore, the pictures serve as piece of Newgrounds history. Remember, there are always ways to contribute to Newgrounds.

what r u listening 2

An oldie from 2015. Just what are you listening to at the time. It started with sharing songs from YouTube you were currently listening to. It has since evolved into sharing playlists from Spotify, Last.fm, etc. If you're looking for new music or are listening to something in particular then share it with the members of Newgrounds!


The No Cussing Club

A long time ago, there was a movement started by a 14 year old named McKay Hatch. The goal was to stop cussing. There was quite the discussion on the forums about is this just a wholesome movement to help clean up language or was it a movement under the guise of censorship?


Original NG 9/11 Thread

September 11 happened almost 20 years ago today. The original 9/11 thread was made discussing what was going on as it was happening. Where were you when the towers were hit? September 11 is recognized as Patriot Day in the USA.


Hey Luis are you a washing machine?

Over ten years ago @Luis was a hot commodity on the site. Everybody was using pick up lines to try and get with Luis.


need some help people

Newgrounds is willing to help you out on your school projects or homework. Key word being help. We're not going to do your work for you. @ActualOccurences procrastinated and was met with the wrath of @STEM.


iu_932352_8044563.gif


V-Tech Rampage

Ross brought up the game and its creator. How it circulated among the popular gaming websites and media outlets at the time. PiGPEN stated that if people donated enough money to his PayPal he would take it down. Ross asked the Newgrounds public what they thought about the game, did they think PiGPEN's actions were in poor taste, and should the game be taken down or left up?


What Makes Newgrounds Great

Ross would follow up on this development with responses from the Newgrounds community. Ranging from remove it outright for its offensive content. It is in poor taste that PiGPEN is looking to profit off of it, remove it for that. It is freedom of speech so it must be kept up. There are far more offensive things on the site as it is, so just leave it up. Ross read all of these and thought about it more and more. His response was thus...


The beast awakens

Long ago, in the magical year of 2009, there was a man by the name of @DrForeman. He was a beast of a man. A true spectacle to behold. A warrior tried and true. We were all jellyous. Unfortunately though, he had an enemy. @TheSouthernTower found his Achille's Heel. He merely commented "Dude, you have a fucking giraffe neck.". It would not take long for this to spiral out of control. The beast would come with a nickname that would follow him for the remainder of his time on Newgrounds. Dick Neck. A major motion picture was made.


iu_932353_8044563.jpg



Photoshop Bedn!

Throughout all of the photoshop threads on Newgrounds, the one that is the granddaddy of the all is when Newgrounds at the will of @WadeFulp photoshopped Joshua Bend. A Newgrounds regular who had a picture with Wade. This picture is so iconic here on Newgrounds that when other members meet Tom or Wade they strike the same pose.


iu_932354_8044563.jpg


This is it.

@sirtom93. What an event that was. This user said that he was going to burn down his school and use other forms of violence. He would later on state that it was a joke, but it wasn't taken as a joke. @WadeFulp entered the thread with the iconic line...


Leave this topic, authorities are being contacted.


From there, Newgrounds member @deckheadtottie was able to get a hold of the authorities where sirtom93 was. He was caught, arrested, put on trial, and served time in prison. Moderator @Rig detailed everything in this news post. Multiple games and movies came out after this event. One being How I Buy Petrol?. Newgrounds has contacts all over the world. We stick together. You make threats, we will bust you, and then we will laugh at you.



The Push For Pico Day!

@Galloglasses came up with the idea to celebrate one of Newgrounds mascots. The creation of Tom Fulp, Pico. Pico is to Newgrounds what Mickey Mouse is to Disney. Pico Day is an important holiday here on Newgrounds. A celebration of Pico and his friends, the TANKMEN, and other Newgrounds iconic characters. This was an idea back in 2005. We have celebrated Pico Day since then.


Your Sex Life In 3 Pokemon Moves

A classic thread of Newgrounds lore. Created by @newgroundskeeperjim the task was simple. Using three Pokemon moves, describe your sex life. The thread has since closed, but I would like to revive it here. If you comment this morning on the Tribune, join in! If it's been awhile since you've played Pokemon then here is a moves list to get you started. Here are some of the best selections from this thread.


:top secret: Osama Porn Raid Photos

One of the greatest and funniest users of all time @TheJamoke made a thread involving the porn stash found when Osama bin Laden was killed by SEAL Team 6. This is one of the funniest threads of all time here on Newgrounds. Do yourself a favor and spend the afternoon going through this one.


The Regulars Lounge 2.0

With Tom talking about closing the Politics forum I think it is important to note the lounge where regular users of the Politics forum would gather. The discussion of hard politics is not allowed in this thread and is more of a way to unwind, vent, and enjoy one another's company. The original lounge was deleted long ago. This one has stood the test of time and shows that although the Politics forum can be messy, the good parts overall outweigh the bad.


Huge goddamned spider

@Rage came across a huge spider in his basement back in 2009. He reacted in a manly way by screaming like a little girl and running. He caught it in a container and asked Newgrounds what he should do with it.


Ng Mod Meet Up 2005

The moderators of Newgrounds decided to meet up. Whether to see each other in person, talk and hang out, or be super gay. @WadeFulp posted a picture of the group with this commentary below. The pandemic has kept us separate for so long. It may be time to meet up once again.


iu_932355_8044563.jpg

iu_932356_8044563.jpg

@RedCircle, Afro-Ninja, @DarkArchon@TomFulp (@Stamper behind him), @FUNKbrs@StealthSteve (front), @CaptainBob (Back), @DanMalo@Uberbarista (back w/ green hat), @TheShrike (front, red hat and shades), a friend of one of the mods with the white T-shirt (forget the name, sorry dude, Chris maybe? I dunno), @NegativeOne (guy in back), TBF (He makes all the cool NG hats and has a black hat on and a goatee), @Freakapotimus (Girl infront of TBF with the shades), @Maus (Girl in front kneeling down with the angry face hat), Another non-mod who is a user, forget the name, peaking over TBF's shoulder with the glasses, @StarCleaver with the old school NG shirt he won from the sticker acontest, and finally on the far right @poxpower.


1st Annual Ng Hoeboating Expedition

Yar me matey! Are ye looking for some fun and promiscuity on the high seas? Then come along with us on the Newgrounds Hoeboating Expedition! With ye faithful Captain @RedCoin and First Mate @Dean. Many a shipmate were on this expedition to plunder booty. RedCoin's faithful parrot @The-Great-One, Grand Advisor @Timmy, Binocular Guy @Jay, and Galley Cook @tarahloveshentai. They were attacked by Pirate Captain @Slint. daethdrain was also part of the ship and took down the vicious Pirate Captain Slint. You may better know daethdrain as @Seth. Pirate Captain Slint didn't stay down long though. He came back with a vengeance. The Navy showed up. @Sheizenhammer was left behind. @ZJ came in with not only a cool guy helicopter, but a submarine as well. In the end it was tarahloveshentai who would find the hoes. This was one of Newgrounds most fun threads and it would continue onward! That is a story for another time.


iu_932357_8044563.jpg


SOMEBODY IS UOTD

Everyday, Newgrounds picks a random user of the day that is put on the front of the Community Page. Here on The Tank Tribune, we feature last week's Users of the Day as Users of the Week. Newgrounds member @iOcide made a thread, perhaps out of spite, about this.


"and i dont care who"

-iOcide


The first response came from @HAQnSPITT who stated that they wanted to collect these. Thus, whenever someone is User of the Day, this is the thread to highlight that user more. It is also a title that The-Great-One will never have. Ever.


Album of the Week ♫

@Jackho started a thread back in 2019. It was a way of sharing albums, discussing them, and rating them. A lot of Newgrounds members were introduced to music they may not listen to. The last album shared in the thread was in October 2019. How it worked was thus...


  1. We throw our names into a randomizer
  2. Whoever gets picked chooses an album for the following week
  3. You listen to the album either in your own time, or as part of a totally radical listen-along discord group so we can REACT together.
  4. Post your thoughts on the album and give it a rating, then gear up for the next album



I know that there are many MANY threads I have forgotten. Share some of your favorite threads from the past below. Goodbye General. Goodbye Politics. You were fun, it is time to move on though. To all of those who are still angry about General closing, this may be a hot take. That forum was not the main purpose of Newgrounds. It wasn't. @ZekeySpaceyLizard made me realize that. Was it stupid at times? Yes. Was it fun? Absolutely. It is time to move on and embrace the rest of the site more. Embrace its creators more. Build this place up and UP.

Good Morning Newgrounds! I hope you're all having a fantastic day. I pulled a muscle in my leg yesterday, other than that I am A-Okay! Sorry for the delay in this issue. If you don't know why, then go back here. All you need to know is that things are going incredibly well! With that out of the way, here are the hip happenings of Newgrounds!

NEW SALAD FINGERS TOY

@Doki has released a brand new Salad Fingers toy, which you can Pre-order here. He also released a new cartoon called Plastic Hand. This will be featured in the Sunday Matinee this morning!


iu_922245_8044563.webp


Newgrounds Art Scheduler!

@KittyhawkMontrose has released a scheduler which will automatically post your art submissions to the Art Portal on a specified date. For you comic artists, this could come in handy. Tom is working behind the scenes on making Art submissions integrated into the project system, so this may soon be obsolete. It is useful for artists now until then.


iu_922246_8044563.png


I have officially returned—somewhat!

@GlowBoyMusic recently has gone through quite a lot in terms of health problems and moving. We talked about this back in Issue NO. 58. They're slowly making their return to Newgrounds, with some surprises in the works!




iu_894039_8044563.png


Some new episodes of @OffTheWallShow have launched. @ThatJohnnyGuy and @The-Great-One sat down with @TeraVex and @LeviRamirez to talk about Gappy's Playground. They also sat with @Spazkid to talk about behind the scenes stuff about the development of Nightmare Cops. Give these a listen and follow Off The Wall for more!



iu_651136_8044563.png


This week's featured artist is brand new to the site. Their name is @MyClassics. They have started off by drawing masks and have moved onto Scooby-Doo. Check out their works below!

Today we look back at one of Newgrounds most innovative games on the site. @The-EXP gave us the game SHIFT back in 2008. A unique puzzle platformer where you have to shift between two layers of the level to figure out how to get to the end. An ingenious idea that would spawn multiple sequels, iterations on the site, and be referenced in other Newgrounds projects.

The week can get people down sometimes. With all of the hustle and bustle and action packed drama that entails our lives, sometimes it's nice to just kickback and relax. Here are a few silly games to play and unwind with. This week, we're looking to test your reflexes with games that require you to multitask or precision.



If a game is not loading properly for you, then install the Newgrounds Flash Player. There are instructions on how to do so. If it is still not working or you don't understand, create a thread in the Where is / How to / Help! Forum for assistance.




I would like to thank all of you for your patience again. I will be going over to Rex's house for dinner tonight, so I'm really excited! Thank you all for reading The Tank Tribune and sticking it out with me for this long. We've come a long way, starting out with just 40 fans and now reaching almost 900 readers! That's crazy. I hope you all have a fantastic Wednesday at the time of posting this!

My personal life has come between time to work on the paper and getting it posted. Looking to have it ready by Tuesday for all of you here. To help fill in the blanks. My best friend has a brother who is gay. For anonymity and protection, I will call him Rex. Rex and I have known each other through my best friend. In the recent years we've gotten to hang out more and talk to one another. I started to have feelings for him last year. He has been wanting to hang out with me more and more recently. We've connected more throughout these past couple of weeks. That's where my time has been lately.


I thank you all for your understanding during this wonderful time in my life right now. I love all of you and I will see you on Wednesday with the latest issue.

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

Hello Newgrounds! I don't know what time of day you're reading this. Normally I don't say this, fortunately I wasn't able to work on this paper much. Normally I work on the paper from Thursday through Saturday. Recently though a lot of good things have happened for me over the weekend. I won't go further into it here. I am mostly an open book though - so when more developments occur, I will gladly share all of the news with you. Sorry that this issue is a bit on the shorter side. I will gladly make it up to you this coming Sunday.

It is time we take a look back at the viral sensation that was Friday by Rebecca Black. A song that became infamous on the site. It was loved by teens and tweens. While equally being hated by teens, young adults, and adults. It was an incredibly polarizing music video and song. This is not a discussion fo Rebecca Black, that is its own topic. A small nod to Rebecca Black though is that she never took the video down, deleted comments, disabled comments, or listed the video as kids only so you couldn't see the comments. That's pretty awesome.



We are here to discuss the Point and Click Adventure Game made by @Manly-Chicken and @Pjorg. Take Rebecca Black through her Friday, to get fresh, get cereal, and party. It is a game that you can win by just following the music video, with some pitfalls here and there.


"Friday: the Game is a game I'm really proud of. I saw how popular Friday was on youtube, and how there was only one real game for it (Rebecca Whack). It was originally going to be a small game where you only have 2 or 3 choices, pick one, if it's right you move on, if not you die, etc. I tried getting Luis on board, but no. This was my first real collab with Pjorg not for a game jam."

I would like to apologize again for such a short issue. There has been a great turnaround in my life lately. Some projects I have to put on the back burner while others I will be pursuing further. Let's just say, real life has been pulling me away from Newgrounds, but for a good reason this time! I am so excited! Thank you all for continuing to read.

I am sorry for another delay on The Tank Tribune. I assure you though, it is for a good reason. There have been a lot of positive things happening in my life lately, that I had to put Newgrounds on hold for a little bit. If you know me outside of this paper, you know what I'm talking about. The next issue will be out Wednesday morning, then we'll be returning to Sundays going forward!

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

Good Morning Newgrounds! Sorry for the one day delay. I was spending time the whole day with a friend of mine having a gay day. That's neither here nor there. The month of March is fast approaching, with Pico Day not too far off. List Jam 2 has been announced. We have Newgrounders celebrating their site anniversaries. We really need a name for your Newgrounds Sign-Up Anniversary. Newgrounds Birthday sounds a bit generic. Shout out to @Graeme just because he's awesome! The Newgrounds Treasure Hunt has brought a lot of cool stuff in the Portal. We revisit the Musk Jam. Without further ado, here are the hip happenings on Newgrounds!

@FrozenFire would bring us an ambitious project entitled Relive Your Life. Throughout mini games, narration from @Egoraptor, and music from the Audio Portal, you would bring to life your creation. There are a lot of ups and downs, some laughs are had, but in the end, we all must go. It is an incredible game from beginning to end with a ton of replay value.


"I was actually about 90% done with Relive Your Life when I was at Pico Day, because the game was made as a college assignment and it was due the day I got back. I finished putting it together on the plane ride to Texas. At the beginning of that month, I messaged Arin out of the blue and asked him, "Hey we are both going to be at Pico Day! Would you like to work with me on something?" I warned him it was a lot of voice work, but he didn't skip a beat to say yes. He was in the middle of a move too, so that just speaks wonders for his character."

The week can get people down sometimes. With all of the hustle and bustle and action packed drama that entails our lives, sometimes it's nice to just kickback and relax. Since people read The Tank Tribune on their phones, here are some games from the Mobile Game Jam hosted by @Stepford last year.



If a game is not loading properly for you, then install the Newgrounds Flash Player. There are instructions on how to do so. If it is still not working or you don't understand, create a thread in the Where is / How to / Help! Forum for assistance.




My apologies for the tardiness of this. I had plans for the weekend and I wasn't able to get this up until this Monday morning. Shall not happen again. I am on track with my projects since I'm not juggling as much as I used to. Next week will be the official return of The Interviewer, another Off The Wall episode, and I'll be highlighting entries from the Newgrounds Treasure Hunt as well. My Sunday was absolutely wonderful and I hope yours was as well, without The Tank Tribune to start your day off. As one creator on this site likes to stay. Stay happy, stay home, and stay hale!

This week we're taking a look at a game that took Newgrounds by storm. To where one of its updates crashed the site. It is almost three years old; its impact is still felt on the site to this day. Streamers played it on Twitch and YouTube. Many people were brought to Newgrounds because of it, giving the site a needed boost. If you haven't in a while, it is time again. To get freaky on a Friday night y'all.


"The classic tale goes that before the Ludum Dare game jam even started, I wanted to make an early 2000s ass parappa style rhythm game. Simple and straightforward lil project. Asked PhantomArcade, evilsk8r, and kawaisprite if they all wanted in and they were all down. When talking to PhantomArcade about the game, he more or less came up with a bunch of the MEAT of the game concept. Boy rap battling the rockstar dad to get the girlfriend. That’s pretty much the LORE of game jam, it all came VERY naturally. I think it’s good to just go with the flow for shit like that. Let other people have input just as much as you want input on a project yourself. I don’t think we debated for a second whether or not to do a rhythm game, it was just the choice from the start. What we were INSPIRED to do."

The week can get people down sometimes. With all of the hustle and bustle and action packed drama that entails our lives, sometimes it's nice to just kickback and relax. Here are a few silly games to play and unwind with. To give you a quick chuckle this morning.



If a game is not loading properly for you, then install the Newgrounds Flash Player. There are instructions on how to do so. If it is still not working or you don't understand, create a thread in the Where is / How to / Help! Forum for assistance.




I am really hoping that you're all enjoying the new format. It is definitely easier on me and let's me have more fun showcasing more diverse Newgrounds stuff to all of you. It also gives me a chance to really dig through the site and find out what everyone is working on. I am thankful to all of you for continuing reading and supporting The Tank Tribune through all of its ups and downs. If you have some spare time this morning, or if you're sitting down for lunch, I implore you listen to @OffTheWallShow. It is a labor of love from both ThatJohnnyGuy and myself. Oh and if you haven't yet. Go follow Vista-Sound13. Seriously. That dude is a music machine.

The Impossible Quiz is probably viewed as one of the most rage induced games on Newgrounds, up there with Tower of Heaven. One that tends to be overlooked though is The Unfair Platformer. A game released back in 2008 that brought out the anger of Newgrounds players. The game is designed incredibly well, where each unfair advantage is weighed against you. If you beat this game back when it came out, you were awesome. Then when medals were announced and this game had medals included, thus meaning you have to beat it again to get said medals. It is just... unfair.


"The Unfair Platformer is definitely my most popular game and my most hated. I must say it was one of the most funnest games I had the pleasure of making. Theres something extremely fun about turning the level design rules on there head and just saying "Nah, take this instead!" Maybe I am a bit evil for taking such delight in peoples anger?"

The week can get people down sometimes. With all of the hustle and bustle and action packed drama that entails our lives, sometimes it's nice to just kickback and relax. Here are a few games to play to unwind on this Sunday Morning. This week's games are detective games. Solve some mysteries and have fun!



If a game is not loading properly for you, then install the Newgrounds Flash Player. There are instructions on how to do so. If it is still not working or you don't understand, create a thread in the Where is / How to / Help! Forum for assistance.




It is good to be back on Newgrounds. Working on The Tank Tribune gave me a bit of burnout and it wasn't fulfilling like it used to be. I hope to bring more news of what is going on Newgrounds, from different people, different creators, different everything! One of my New Year's Resolutions is to not put too much on my plate. I want to do all of the things at once. I can't however do all of the things at once. I have three consistent projects now. The Tank Tribune, The Interviewer, and Off The Wall. I have promised myself not to go above five things at once and I have kept that promise. I hope you all like the new layout, even if it means I cut some sections. Those sections, although I liked highlighting people with them, turned the paper into a chore more than a project that I liked working on. Which in all honesty, I got the inspiration from how @Anonymous-Frog lays out the Tankman Triweekly. That frog is one of the most brilliant minds on Newgrounds and doesn't get the recognition they deserve. If you're not following Anonymous-Frog. You need to. Right now. Go do it NOW! Thanks for reading, and I'll see you next week!
