When did you first learn about Newgrounds?
It was back in 2001 or so. My cousin Tyler, who was 5 years older than me and my other cousin at the time, was showing us Tubby Fun Landand Pico's School. It was hilarious to us. We were 8 or 9 at the time. In 2003 I had a strange rush of nostalgia and decided to make an account because of the levels system and to look around again. I then got bored and came back in 2004, but had reluctantly forgotten my account information. So I made this account, which was originally named PicoPyro.
What do you most enjoy about the site?
I enjoy the community. The ability to chat with people from all over the world with the active forums. I also like to rank up my stats on this website. It's kind of odd to say, but the huge collection of flash movies and games is just a 'plus' for me.
Given one day at the reins of the site, what would you change, what would you fix?
This site has been tweaked, re-arranged, and fixed more times than ground zero. I'd say there are a lot of small things that could be added to any site just to make it that better. I'd fix the chat. I'd have more advanced searches. The collection pages would be organized a whole hell of a lot better. For the most part this site is already beefed up to the max, though.
Is there anything you miss, that you'd like to see back? (I.E. Old Blam/Save Animations)
I really miss the old pop up profiles. It was easier to click on someones name and read their info from a pop-up window. Now I have to open up a new page then filter out all the bullshit from the user pages. I'm not saying user pages wasn't a good idea. I'm just saying it could have been pulled off better. Oh yeah, and the whistle song was really goddamn catchy.
