From time to time Newgrounds has a major site Redesign. The staff will store up a number of plans, talk about them in threads, fix it up ready, then add and take away features. Redesigns can be a controversial time on Newgrounds as people get attached to things the way they are and sometimes the Staff give up on features that are not working satisfactorily, to the dissappointment of those who like the feature. However, overall, they give an oportunity for the team to introduce anything from a different art style to a whole new Portal. The major redesigns require the site to go offline while work is done, which in itself causes a great fuss as thousands of people are left without one of the most popular sites on the internet.
2000
This was the vital year in which the new "Automatic" Blam/Protect system started, which revolutionised Newgrounds.
2007
This was one of the bigger redesigns on Newgrounds, where various new features, such as the latest set of Experience Levels were added, but a few existing features were not supported: The Batting Average failed to work with the new systems and are not updated, though they are still presen and out of date. The Magazine, with the Alphas and the Interviews no longer works. The Alphas have sat inaccesible ever since- they always have the same error message implying that they are only temporarily out of order. The Interviews have not been updated since 2007 and feature a The-Swain interview from 2006 at the top. As of November 2010, if you click on NG Mag Home the following message still appears: "NG Mag was a work in progress that never quite made it to completion. Much of it will return with upcoming features! Alphas and interviews will both return, don't worry!"
