I thought about it and I realize I very much enjoy the BBS like it's my own family. With the stupid non-sense threads to the very intelligent ones, and the members themselves. I claim this place as my sanctuary to relax.

What was you first take on the Newgrounds community?
If you don't feel like answering that^^ then I got another: How does it affect you?
Of course this could lead to various meaning to you all and all is accepted.

My first take was, "What the fuck am I doing here?"

It seems that lately, if you're looking for it, you'll find it here. It seems we've become much more diverse in ranges of intelligence and maturity in posts, so you'll more or less see what you're looking for.

I agree, any current events your hoping to look for and you'll likely find it here.
The members here are like colorful rainbows, full of every single color you can think of and that one color you dislike.

Lets see, being the 14 year old I was, I hated everything. So did the BBS.

We got along just fine.

It was really admiration of some of the cooler people. People like, at the time, EarFetish who I actually got into writing because of him, and BigBadRon. I liked them, I wanted to be like them. This was when I was 13 so I was pretty impressionable at the time. It did end up affecting me in the end, it shaped things like my sense of humour.

However, since I was 18, I realised it was a dump and filled with children. It's the same feel you get being ten or twelve and going into the ball pool. You look around you with a small realisation that everyone else is just so much younger and dumber than you, and with that part of the fun you'd get not only doing your own thing but also observing others is just killed dead. Sure something I spot one or two things that amuses me occasionally, and there is the odd user who interests me in terms of their ability not to come off as an idiot without a clue, but generally I feel surrounded by children usually. Even the ones with a physical age in their 30s (e.g. Painbringer), I just feel like the adult talking to someone half my age, which is awkward since I like talking about things like society and they still have a very weak grasp of society, or simply usually don't give a flying fuck. I've returned, but I feel out of my depth here. It just all feels too stupid all the time.

Although at least the chat is a little more casually retarded than the BBS.

The people here, well some of the users such as the artist and writers are simple inspiring. There is a lot of youngsters in the community here but you can clearly separate the two groups almost immediately. There may be a fuckload of idiots here but some of them just like acting as retards for their amusing(I'm sure that's where the word troll would come in).
It's good to chat with those (mentally)younger than you. I heard it's good for the individual.

The artist and the writer's influence and far and few. However, when I see shit like this, just filled with opinions bordering on hate speech, I just realise there are many more people like that beyond on the internet and it just makes me die inside. Me talking to those who are mentally younger than me isn't doing me any good, it's more confirming my more misanthropic views as I realise that they can not be unique with their view point. I don't necessarily care about those who act retarded to the point where you wonder if they're brain damaged since, as you mentioned, they could be trolling. It's more the ones who actually seem intelligent enough to create an argument for all the wrong things that make me die inside, as I realise that they are most likely serious in just simply how wrong they are. Not even just of a different opinion, just flat out wrong.

I've been frequenting less and less lately. All the good users are gone, the general humor of this board isn't my taste, the traffic is low and the good discussions that do happen are rare.

Referring to the ones whom are intelligent yet make pity arguments as topics, I sometimes like to think it's their way of keeping the BBS going. Though some better threads need to be created. As hiddeninthecrowd said "there needs to be more humor". Arguments is a way of setting how similar one is to another I guess, if you want to look at it like that as a way of ignoring our not so bright peers. Our intelligent peers can be quite a wonder.

Well I think Entice is an alright guy. He's not always right, but we wouldn't be better off without him. Some other people, however...


The simple fact is that some people will never be happy, no matter how good their lives are.

I agree. People that simply share their opinions should be welcomed, as such Entice is cool in my book.

Although I'm a huge hypocrite and I love to make fun of the mlp crew from time to time... Thinking about it now I'm a little overdue.

I'd argue that Entice is the best user I don't recognise from before me disappearing for about six months to a year during 2011. Best new user?

Okay if no one else saw my earlier post after I insulted Entice, I didn't mean it. I just wanted him to reply to tell him the opposite, that I do like him. I was just being a dumb-ass and wanted to make it clear.

Let's get back on topic.

That reminds me, Sevkat, you have been active recently haven't you?
