Edit: Hey, it works!
Yahooo! This works in PM’s, blogposts and such as well!

You have the right idea, but ya just remove the link from it so it’s just the URL in plain text! Like so:
Based off the first ever Art Portal submission!
All y’all are dang talented, shame about Picocross this time ‘round ;w;

Talent, luckily, can just take time! If you like drawing or animating you just gotta keep at it!

It can also run on a potato powered by the dulcet sound of a child's mirth.
Legit, my friends back in the day made the non-competitive-ness even less competitive by primarily playing Hightower games and just not pushing any of the carts, just getting kills for fun
Congrats to all the drawing tablet recipients!
It’s nice to see the Users & Credits page working properly again :D
I'm currently usin' a browser extension that allows for custom CSS to make the current layout look a bit more like the more classic ones, it's pretty fun!

By the first run, if you liked it, you’re hooked. I’d say get it on a platform that isn’t directly accessible to you at all times like your phone, if you're interested in it, LOL
Just got it last night and I’ve already clocked four hours in it…wuh oh.

Sounds like something to keep an eye on. I'd love a megathread.
I’m down for a megathread too LOL, fun to talk about fun real-world things in the forums!
Congrats to all the winners!!

Can be helpful but only gets ya so far, automated content moderation :/
It should really go, bot > human > action taken, when it comes to more complex things.
Back to AI in general, god - nauseating uncertainty. I am a believer in us being near the top of the curve in terms of AI models, and that we’re really not getting much better than this, but it still stands that the methods to scam and spam (not new problems for NG, but still) are evolving, and it sucks ass.
I’m an optimistic person in general but eugh, I dunno what’s gonna happen with AI! I’m hoping Scouting on the site can evolve with it without putting actual human beings off!

I assume AI audio will be getting more difficult, as well. Lots of people will lie and double down when caught. The future is scary.
When people can produce unlimited art and audio (and increasingly movies and games), but also thanks to AI can produce unlimited people, the future of a website where "anyone can sign up and upload things" seems increasingly untenable.
I’m honestly hoping that with that, comes some incidents that impact people in power and subsequently, brings more regulation

I think it’s more likely that people’re just genuinely like “I made this myself, with AI! :)” or treating it like deviantart, like “oh I can upload images/audio here? Let’s put it up here”

Still cool to see this happenin’ again regardless! I enjoy replying every day lol

Anyway, it does remind me of Club Penguin, hey it gives me an idea for a forum discussion! Unfortunatly, I grew up with the later quarter of the original Club Penguin.
G-Bot is Supporter only, but Randy, only I can wear...for now! He drops quite, quite soon.
Tankmas has been SUPER FUN this year so far!! Major props to the team for makin' it happen and I've been grateful for bein' able to help out where I can. It's always a bumpy ride but an oh-so-fun one. I think the people that love it the most like me must just miss Club Penguin? Anyway, it's a great seasonal depression battler!
Congrats to the Horizonauts team as well and thanks to NG staff for the cool recent updates!
All of @D-Fear331's Movies now have upscaled thumbnails + Charlie's Gift now has a thumbnail + An April Fools game they beta tested has an upscaled thumbnail now!
Now that's THOROUGH!
Gotta show off my boy @CaptainStevie's:

Bluesky now allows you to pick GIFs when uploading video on the web version!
it's hard to use an app that's practically dead.
It was recently #1 in social networking on the App Store too and is growing by the millions now!
At least we’re not talking about…Minecraft Dream
Also this thread could be the real collab!
