I would think that most people that joined on here from the beginning to around 07/08 would come back every now and then, since that's when Newgrounds was at its most pervasive on the internet.

However, forums seem to have faded out of popularity (excepting sites like 4chan or Reddit), so I doubt that's going to be true for most people that made accounts in the last 4 or so years.

Same thing i thought to myself, haven't been here in like a year and first threat i see is these lol. Aww memories

I honestly wasn't around that time, but I was around in 2005, back when we were allowed to have gifs in our sigs.

2005 was 7 years ago. That's so weird to me, because 2005 doesn't seem that far in the past.

Anyway, we'll see if I'm still here in 2019. I'll probably stick around for the time capsule too. Turns out the one I posted in in 2010 never got locked though.

Notice how few forum users are on-line at the moment.

Sometimes my post count comes alive and beats me up for not signing up in '06 and having in in the billions.

STOP HOUNDING ME!
My password got shrunken by 10 characters during an absence and isp change, I couldn't logon for over 5 years! But did I give up? Did I just "break down" and make a new account?
Na-ah.
I came here during those years, feeling like an employee accidentally locked out of work. I voted my one vote and scampered on. And yeah, 2004-5 were damn good years.
Haven't dug into the NG Log stat-whore website to guesstulate, but I'm guessing about a hundred or better - the site's been registerable for 12-13 years!

I'll never abandon Newgrounds. I may take extended breaks from the forums but I am always around watching videos and supporting the site. I was here in the beginning, I'm going on 10 years of being a formal user, and I'll be here if/when the site closes it's doors.

Internet forums and chatrooms in general are becoming less and less of a 'thing' as the years go by due to the building dominance of social networking websites. Why talk to total strangers on the internet when you can just log onto Twitter or Facebook to share opinions and discourse with people you know at any time of the day?

I'm fucking STOKED when prune juice and high fiber cereals go on sale! It's the perfect meal before bed at 6:30pm. :D

Do I count as old even though I never made an account until a few months ago? I've certainly been on newgrounds for most of my life so I'd think I do.

If your account wasn't from '02, I would have guessed your name was a reference to Karl Pilkington. "I don't wanna be bungled in."

Ah hellz no. I was big into the band Mr. Bungle in high school, and I used to be bungled_girl until I dropped the girl for whatever reason.

I could have easily been a '99er had I known about the account system and had the right motivation to sign up.

6 years passes surprisingly quickly don't it? I've lived through 2 redesigns and the clock crew, and what do I have to show for it? This briefcase and this post count.

Oh god I'm so alone.

Let me kill your thread for you, it wasn't all that interesting anyway.
