“WE DID IT”
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.
