If you enjoyed this video, please leave a like and maybe share it around. I'll be doing a fun video next week that isn't my usual style but I think you guys will love it, stay tuned!
definitely a video worth making, man: we need more layouts like this, absolutely sleek and beautiful website. nothing could come as close... maybe tumblr and deviantart did
Deviant art was so good until they finally did what everybody else did and change it to web 3.0 crud. I went from logging in daily to not at all because it's unusable
I'm most familiar with the 2012 sort of design. I think it looks better than the one today (as everyone thinks about the design they're most nostalgic about).
The old internet had a vibe where every place was detailed and free for any type of content; nowadays it all seems so focused on commercial companies and with a minimalist style for everything (I particularly hate this style)
I remember playing flash games such as mario world 2, sonic in mario and mario combat. And, by accident clicking newgrounds logo, seen this 4:41 I believe its was back in 2011-2012. Never stayed that long on newgrounds since i understood nothing (i was like 4 lol)
The header with large orange buttons felt like such a sleek and modern update at the time. A great mix of identity and clean, streamlined design. I may love the current design, but I can't help but feel nostalgic.
"Do you hate Osama Bin Laden? Check out all these links and movies!" unlocked a memory from my childhood. I remember going to the Disney website to play flash games and I had forgotten how many pop-up ads that were literally like a duck shooter but with Bin Laden. Crazy fucking times in the early 00s.
the 2000 to 2002 stle of newgrouns is the one that I remember the most because it was the first time I saw the website, I first saw it around 2000 or so when I was about 12 or so.
i miss when the internet and thus web design were designed mostly around computers now it's all "mobile" and they remove the old *better* layouts for some reason. newgrounds' website is still pretty good tho
2012 newgrounds was peak newgrounds, what it is now feels like a shell, an empty husk. The UI is also ewtremely sluggish now. Looking for any media has gotten worse, especially the music portal
I remember frequenting Newgrounds (without an account) during 2013. I would always play the same games; The Torture Game and The Torture Game 2. It wasn’t until years later that I would make an account on the site and fuck around. I personally don’t like the current layout, I kinda have a Chris Chan Sonic Boom blue arms vendetta against it... except I’m not gonna do anything about it that would get me into trouble. I guess I’m mad about it because I grew up with the 2012 design.

The tumbler and deviantart layouts were kinda clunky in my opinion.
Deviant art was so good until they finally did what everybody else did and change it to web 3.0 crud. I went from logging in daily to not at all because it's unusable
Still can't get over the new design Deviantart went for. Man, it's so unintuitive and annoying.
0:33 Dang, I was on the frontpage for movies a couple of days before you took the screenshot. So close to being shown in a video about Newgrounds!

Now this is a video a respectable individual like me can get behind.
That's true Kira
I love watching videos on this sorta stuff. It's like nostalgia for something I never experienced (I would've been in preschool at the time)
you make underrated content. I also miss the old internet so much.

This needs way more views. I appreciate you making niche content like this.

I like the crazy style of the 2000s and how things were back then.

Since Flash is officially reaching EOL status this year, is this going to be your final FlashCember?
newgrounds is making a flash emulator, they confirmed it on twitter
@@stooie also, they're making a flash game jam using flash emulators and Ruffle
i have ruffle, which is what newgrounds uses
I honestly forget new grounds exists for months at a time until someone Mentions it
Thanks to my now 37 year old cousin I know a CRAP TON a lot of Newgrounds. I saw Pico's school when I wad 5 in 2012
if given time i think newgounds can match youtube, given that fact the funs are willing to give them money just to remove ads and lots more
awesome quality video big enjoyed, surprised u dont have more views/likes on this
I’m somehow nostalgic for a thing I barely used.
Dude, I had the same e-machine PC! Cheap parents FTW.
I wanna go back.
