For some reason newgrounds seems more alien to me. It's like I'm growing old and I can't understand the new culture that's taken the place of the old one. There are new fads, styles, people and everything in between seems different.

Is it me?

Newgrounds is just as cuddly now as it was when I found it in the 5th grade.

No, it was always full of idiots. It seems like there are more though. And as for the mods, let's just say I don't come here as much as I used too.

Even though I'm a recent user, this place has definitely changed from it's adult ad-filled Problems of the Future days.

In a rough analogy, I'd say it's going from Futurama to Family Guy.

Back in 05/06, something about the BBS made it seem very.. cuddly.
I mean, sure, there was the typical NG 'violence' and the arguments and all that. But in the end, everyone could relate.

Nowadays it's crap.
I still love all the people I remember back in the days.

Newgrounds hasn't changed, you probably have.
Unfortunately, so many people go get so used to Newgrounds, that when the person finally takes a break, all the culture is different, which causes almost a form of culture shock upon returning.
That's why I never go on this site to much in a short timespan. =D

It definitely has changed in many ways. Still, I doubt I'd call it alien...

I don't know, NG is just becoming one of those sites with lots of new wave internet retards. I remember NG back in 2003-2004 being the badass Web 1.0 site it was, full of violent flashes and filthy porn ads, it was great. I also miss the pop-up profiles, they looked all personalized and sweet. That used to be NG's thing, having that cool shit and all, but sadly is kind of turning into a myspace type with the user profiles. Still, it's pretty awesome compared to other shitholes like Gaia and youtube.

No, but I did visit the site back then. It was riddled with porn ads, EVERYWHERE.

Sadly, Newgrounds was a much nicer community back in 04-05. Everyone started to become a dick around 06.

It's funny, I have some kind of hidden thread locking powers. Once I post, the entire threads stops to a screeching halt.

Newgrounds is still is the same the same to me. Never really changed, people used stupid memes back then (Rape her, etc. ) and are still using them today, just different ones.

Back in 04 there were just as many retards, just they weren't obsessed with 4chan memes.

Tom, on multiple occasions, has received offers to become an instant multi-millionaire in exchange for this site. He declined and continues to help grow artists through its services.

And you say he sold out. Lol. Move along, fuckhead.

In my opinion NG's best year was 05/06 after that things changed way too quickly, not for the worse but the quick change feels weird.

That's very true... Along with the new wave of internet retards came 4chan memes. Seriously...every fucking day I see kids starting threads with images found in 4chan, as if we have no fucking idea what 4chan is even though we are consistently bombarded with it.
