LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

Good Morning Newgrounds! This issue will be the closing of an era for The Tank Tribune. There have been changes to the site that have been made in which I will be formatting a lot of sections. Featured Artist will no longer be a part of The Tank Tribune. The reasoning is a lot of artists have their licensing terms listed as “You may not use this work for any purposes”. I weighed a lot on whether or not it would be right to showcase someone’s work when they don’t want it used for “any purposes”. If I can figure something out it will return. Flash Portal History will be changing to Newgrounds History to include a lot of what makes Newgrounds one of the best sites to release your work on. This issue is containing just some General News. For those who haven’t been caught up, I have been dealing with memory issues as well as my day job draining me. My worst habit has always been putting more on my plate than I should. I need to find a proper work balance while juggling my personal life. Rex and I will be at a convention, the Southeast Game Exchange. He will be doing photography for me, while I cover the event.

Thanks for the mention. <3

Very nice issue The-Great-One! As an artist once mentioned in a previous issue, I'd like to throw in my two cents on the "You May Not Use This Work for Any Purposes". Speaking for myself, I upload my works under those terms assuming it's just like saying "All Rights Reserved", i.e. the default rights one is entitled to unless stated otherwise. Newgrounds would put my work under a special Creative Commons license if I specified anything else, which is usually not my intention. Though I can't speak for others, I certainly wouldn't think a shout-out as you've been doing would be something undesirable, nor do I think it could be construed as a bad thing. This isn't the conclusive answer you may be looking for, but I hope this helps!

Awesome to see you. I haven't seen any artist complain about you sharing links to their music on The Tank Tribune, though I fully understand why it has been shelved. I'm excited for Audio Deathmatch 2024!

Thank you so much for this grand occasion! Please know that you can always take a rest; resting is immensely important. You should give yourself kindness and appreciation for how hard you push yourself—it is very tough.

Happy 100th Issue!

Congrats on the 100th issue and thanks for the shoutout!! <3

Sadly so short. But whom complained about being featured in a blog over a licensing issue? Tom does this all the time for the "best of" section of his blog. I get we don't like the term "fair use" but c'mon. This is a positive thing.

Glad to see you on your feet TGO.

Well, these news are good! you need to make more, but I don't have money to support the Patreon because I'm just a kid.

Thanks for mentioning some artists who auditioned to NGADM!

Congrats on hitting Issue 100!

Amazing! I can’t wait to see everything!

Here's for at least another 10000 issues!

No more featured artist section? Damn...

I just found out about your newspaper! If I'd known about it earlier, I would've talked to you about a feature...oh well.

I've decided after talking with Tom and multiple artists on the site that I'm keeping the Featured Artist section after all. If you want to talk more about it, PM my main account @The-Great-One

@TheTankTribune Thank you, sir! But I think I'll wait until you're feeling better... From what I understand, you're getting over some health challenges these days. I can relate to that.

I'm surprised that this stuff is still so active. I missed out on a lot while I was away lol and seeing all the activity now makes me realize just how much I’ve been out of the loop
