In their own words
Newgrounds
Newgrounds is a web community for publishing and discussing user-submitted games, movies, music, art, writing, and other content. Its sections include Movies, Games, Audio, Art, Portal, and Community. Creators can upload animations such as MP4 videos and publish HTML5 games. An audio portal and co-authoring system support collaboration and creator credits, while users can review submissions and offer feedback. The service includes private spaces, event hosting, and moderation tools. A free plan is available, with Supporter memberships adding ad-free browsing, a badge, higher daily private-message limits, Tuesday front-page featuring, and custom profile-picture shapes. Supporters can place up to 40 art pieces in one project and 200 playlist items; the default playlist limit is 100. They can upload lossless audio for MP3 web conversion and provide up to 10 game save slots per player with an 8MB maximum, versus 3 slots and 2MB for non-Supporters. Monthly membership starts at $5 a month; yearly membership is $36 a year. Only scouted creators can enable audio downloads.
