"HOPING AND PRAYING TO BE MENTIONED IN THE TANK TRIBUNE IS BASICALLY HOW I PUBLICIZE MYSELF NOW"
LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
Good Morning Newgrounds! This issue's Phonograph is dedicated to sorohanro! He has been a fan and huge support of my projects here on Newgrounds. With his song Light Orchestral Loop being the theme song for @TheInterviewer. The old version of Paper Dragon and Paper Dragon being the Intro and Outro for The Tank Tribune. He has been gracious to allow me to use these songs. It is time to give back. Every song in the Phonograph is by sorohanro, with a few collaborations. April Fool's Day saw Tom take a whack at NFT's and it backfire immediately. The Supporters got some sweet new icon perks out of it though! If you're a Newgrounds Supporter and weren't included in Tom's original collage, don't despair. The Tank Tribune will be continuing this going forward with the Supporter section of the paper. If you want to see yours there then become a Newgrounds Supporter, post a comment on this Issue of The Tank Tribune along with your new Profile Icon shape, even if you decide to stick with the square and your icon might be featured in the next issue! 50Steaks has taken it upon himself to make a song for every state in the United States of America. DoctorGrambo has a Patreon. Members have been celebrating their anniversaries here on Newgrounds. Some users have started coming out of their shells. Without further ado, here are the hip happenings on Newgrounds!

Custom Profile Picture Shapes!
As a Supporter Only Upgrade, Newgrounds Supporters can change the shape of their Profile Icons. It became a thing after this year's April Fool's Day joke Dankmen NFTs and their immediate cancellation the following day due to people stealing said images. You can now be a square, a hexagon, or a RHOMBUS!
User Page Gallery Updates!
By going to a creator's creations such as their movies, games, music, and art pages respectively. The thumbnails have gotten bigger. You can scroll through each year of their works.

If you're a creator and notice a problem, then please let Tom know in this thread.

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.

I think I've gotten my work schedule and my Newgrounds schedule intertwined well enough now. I'm changing up how I approach my weekly stuff now. We'll see what happens. I want to thank @TomFulp again here for including myself in the user icon collage. I didn't even ask; I just scrolled and saw myself there. I also want to thank @Anonymous-Frog for reminding me that the Project Editor exists. It makes writing these so much easier now. I was actually done with this paper in record time. If you haven't become a Newgrounds Supporter yet, then do so if you can! Link is below. If you got some money to spare, then becoming a patron of The Tank Tribune might not be a bad idea. There will be some Patreon perks going forward for The Tank Tribune. You can already see the Upcoming Composers for next week's Tribune starting at all tier levels. That is my shameless plug out of the way. Just reading and following the paper means a lot to me. I also like to hear how you discovered someone new or learned something from the paper. The goal was to keep Newgrounds members up to date on what's been going on during their absence from the site. If you had a good poop while reading this today, then don't forget to let Krash17 know in his thread. Have a fantastic morning!
The Tank Tribune is a part of Dohn's Desk Productions
