Newgrounds


 * 105

Newgrounds is a website that primarily hosts Adobe Flash animations and games, but also features a music oriented page, along with an art portal. The site was created and is owned by Tom Fulp who still oversees numerous aspects and regularly produces in-house and out-house content. Newgrounds is distinguished from most other Flash websites by its automated submission and rating system, as it was the first website in history to produce a fully automated user-generated content system.

Cleod-9
Not to be confused with the person Cleod9, Cleod-9 is the name of the official Newgrounds account of McLeodGaming and it is used by Cleod9 himself, as the name implies. In that account, he uploads some of the games, movies and music that are hosted in McLeodGaming. Though not very popular account, is one of the few major places where, officially, the game Super Smash Flash is showcased, the others being the same McLeodGaming site and the Flash Central. Currently, only two awards have been received, one Daily Weekly award for Super Smash Flash and one Daily 3rd Place award for A Super Mario World Episode 2.

List of submissions
Among the content that can be found on Cleod-9 highlists eight Flash submissions:

In addition, all 29 musical compositions of McLeodGaming can be heard as well.

2009 Orchestration Contest
On July 15th, 2009, Cleod9 entered the 2009 Orchestration Contest with the musical composition The Perfect Battle. The contest lasted one month and the results were showed in August 19th, 2009; with Cleod9 ending in the 10th place of said contest. The winner was an user known as Robomanus.

Future
With the production of Super Smash Flash 2 still in progress, it is highly stipulated the game will be hosted here when the game is finally finished, with a little difference it won't include the Story Mode The Flash Of Shadows, instead an standard Adveture Mode larger but similar to the one in the first Super Smash Flash''. Many other musical compositions will be showed as well.
