The Obituaries is a section on the Portal that contains archives of submissions that have been deleted, usually due to receiving enough negative votes ("blamming") or a user deleting their account. It is denoted by a golden skull icon, and is found on the Portal Page under "Portal Awards" and right under "Underdog of the Week".
Collections of blammed submissions are archived by what date they were deleted, with an option to sort blammed submissions by the date they were uploaded or by title, and viewers are able to view previous date collections as early as January 1st, 2002. Archives of blammed submissions contain their author, author comments, final score before deletion, and all reviews left before deletion.
The artwork for the section, which shows a graveyard containing numerous tombstones with the Adobe Flash logo engraved on them, was created by Bluebaby.

Trivia[]
- Submissions archived in the Obituaries, as with any other Portal submission, are also able to be accessed by plugging in their submission number (the string of numbers at the end of the submission's URL) in the Portal view address (newgrounds.com/portal/view/(submission number)).
- In the past, submissions were able to be blammed by Newgrounds' moderation team. In the present day, however, submissions removed by the moderation team are no longer archived in the Obituaries, instead being deleted outright with an error message stating "ERROR — This project has been removed by the Newgrounds moderation team." (example) appearing in its place.
