Can we please taste purple next month, Tom?
@Seth liked the pink for June's background artwork. He wants a different color each month, with purple being his suggestion for July. Newgrounds members are suggesting their own colors. Join in the discussion!
@TheGhostOfSevenSeize is asking that you all follow @JohnPolts.
@Edeshye brings up an interesting point in whether or not certain tags should be placed on pieces of art or not. Questioning whether moderation should be brought in, stating that the Audio Portal made retroactive changes for NSFW audio and wondering if we could do something similar with the Art Portal. Join in the discussion.
This thread is almost one year old and has been resurrected once again! The goal is to corrupt the wish above you and make your own wish. Then the next user will corrupt your wish and make another.
A LOOK BACK AT THREADS OF THE PAST
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!
Back in October 2006, @TomFulp began a project to provide Wacom tablets to artists who had been drawing with nothing more than a mouse. It was an idea by @DanPaladin about making it a regular giveaway. Tom asked for suggestions for popular artists, who still drew using a mouse, and could upgrade to a tablet. These are all of the threads where a tablet was given away. Notable artists include @LazyMuffin, @W-P-S, @TehSlapHappy, and @Raguel, just to name a few. There is always something exciting happening on Newgrounds!
A big, empty room

Depends on the day.
