Sure, my profile says I joined last year but I've been a lurker and player here for much longer than that. I was first brought to NG when I got linked to the first Joe Zombie episode from some website that I don't remember. This was either 03 or 04. Also Joe Zombie FTW.

Oddly enough, Joe Zombie brought me here too! I think I came from Stickpage.com
That was in 06 I believe

I lurked here for a few years here as well before joining- wanted to comment on videos and communicate with some of my favorite NG artists, as well as be a member of the community.

A friend of mine told me about Perfect Kirby and another friend showed me NG on his dad's computer. I dunno which happened first, but I started regularly looking at the flash on NG sometime in 2002. I didn't join until 3 years later, though.

Back before Unity, Flixel and The Games Factory, flash animators were the big cheese. I discovered Newgrounds through a little flash portal called Flash Portal. I was waiting for a megaman sprite flash to load and mistook the tankman for a preloader game. I haven't gone back since. And for good reason too. That place is dead and rotting now.

Oh snap! Thanks for the reminder man, I'm sure that's where I came from as well.

Madness combat, buddy interactive, and loads of other flash games was the reason I noticed the site.
After 13-year-old me saw most fun games came from NG, I decided to stick around and check it out.

In turn, my liking to flash games and animations made me want to make my own stuff. I found out there was a flash forum, and they suggested I start drawing before trying to animate, and that's how I got into the art forum. After a year and a half posting and lurking there, I had a hiatus for about two years until quite recently I started posting again, this time on the general BBS.

Iember coming here around the year 2000 and playing SKullkid (about a kid with a chainsaw in an office killing everyone) and that got me to keep coming back. I know this profile is only a few years old, but you lose the internet for a few years forget a password and have to make a new profile every now and then. I think this is my 3rd or 4th one over the years, not completely sure.

A friend of mine from when I was younger used to lurk around here, I decided to do so as well, and I stuck around.

I believe that I was an avid fan of the Four Swords Misadventures series made by Hadouken Dude. I was watching it on a portal called flashportal.com, but now that place has gone to shit.

Long ago my cousins showed me salad fingers. We watched it on some other site, but from Google I found the newgrounds salad fingers page. At first I thought this was mainly what the site was for, series, because for a while I mainly stuck to the series sections, watching kegel and blockhead and eddsworld. Then I started clicking around, and found it was much more

I saw people on it in like 2006 during school (amazingly it wasn't blocked o.O) and decided to check it out. I don't remember exactly what I did on there when I started using the site though....but whatever. When I started using the site again in early 2010 I mainly was on here for Punk-O-Matic, Pandemic 2, Charlie The Unicorn, and Salad Fingers.

I was very young, this guy and I used to play on Newgrounds on the school computer, I never even new what the website was, all I can remember was looking in amazement and the graphics looked so cool, its all a blur asides from that.
The reason I signed up was to put medals on my account or use the BBS if I can remember correctly, good times.

StumbleUpon brought me here several times, the final stumble being Ricochet Kills 2 before I started visiting more. I played around with clickteam's game factory before getting into flash and actually making an account.

Well at the time I found out about NewGrounds was when my friend played Me and Dad on this site while I was at his house so I didn't really make an account until 0'8 and soon made a new one which is this one .

Very much so. But alas, Newgrounds has plenty of that as well.

Madness Day, all those madness combat videos. But I didn't sign up until late 2012, after a friend encouraged me to do so.
