So how did you guys discover Newgrounds?

I remember it was in like 2001 or 2002 where I was in my friends basement playing ps2. We then get over to the computer where he was like "hey dude check out this website"(paraphrased). So I went over and he showed me this site. And he then went to the mature section of this site(when it was like a picture of I think a girl in a dark blue bikini if I remember). And he then proceeded to go to one of the undressing games. So yea, I discovered this site because my friend showed me some softcore porn. And decided to make an account this year. So how did you find out about NG?

This video, from Egoraptor when he was advertising his Metal Gear Awesome series.

After that I discovered other cool NG series's like Madness, Pico, and Castle Crashers that I simply couldn't get enough. If you go to my page you will see that I also tried to make my own animations too. It never worked out though, I always failed. Right now I'm stuck on Windows XP, untill I get a good computer like Windows 8 I can't make any series machinimas or flash animations.

I believe I found Newgrounds because I was looking for things like Leisure Suit Larry: Magna Cum Laude and that lead me to SimGirls.
From there, I got really into the assassin page and shortly thereafter, I began posting on the BBS.

It was 2001, and I was in middle school. A couple of my friends were talking about this cool stick figure movie called Xiao Xiao No. 3. I made an account in 2006, and started posting in the BBS only very recently. It's been a blast since day one, though.

Late '06 or early '07. I was watching a sprite flash on flashportal and I accidentally clicked an ad to Newgrounds thinking it was a preloader game. I noticed Newgrounds had almost all of flashportal's flashes and more so I just stayed here. I didn't make an account until 2008 because I thought they would somehow know if you're under 13.

Howard Stern show in the late 20th century, before he got lame. There was a brief time, he mentioned websites that caught his fancy, and I wrote down the name. While in high school, I used to record (some) of his 4 hour program on cassette, right before I hit the street. Then I wised up, and started using my VCR (SLP, 6 hour record time!) to get even more of the show, but by then, he was going downhill.

Lurked the site for over a year, then decided I could trust this innocent looking youngster (Tom) with my ISP's email address. Back then, an email account cost money, by way of an ISP or a service. The dotcom bubble drove websites to sell off their subscriber/email lists, hackers were selling any and all viable email addresses.... was a rough time. Wish it was like that again.

Dafuq up with that spoiler in your sig bro?! Why you stomping on an old man's patience for the PC version to come out?

But, yeah, NG needs to get some ads out there! I guess Behemoth is keeping Tom's kids fed, and NG is like a man-cave.....

i think i was only 9 years old when i discovered newgrounds. (accidently!)

my classmate was playing 'pico' on a chinese game website. i got interested and decided to check it out.

i noticed there was a link to newgrounds.com at the bottom, which took me to this site.

Saw some people I went to school with on it during class and remembered the url then went on it later on and lurked from 06-07 then lost track of the site. Came back in '10 and signed up and here we are.
3 boring years later....

it's weird thinking i've only been a user for that long.

I was watching an Egoraptor toon or maybe an Oney toon on YouTube and my friend Eric showed me Newgrounds where all these cartoons were uploaded first before YouTube. I signed up, left, signed up on a this account and I've been here since!

I was looking up zombie games on Google (was a huge fan of zombies back then) and I clicked on one of the links and it brought me to this site. I still remember the gray background of this site back in 2007 when I first discovered it. It wasn't until months later that I created my account. Time has passed and Newgrounds has changed a lot since then.

Back in '06 I found my cousin playing various NG Flash Games. I went home and fell in love with most of the cartoon flashes and games. Then in '08 I signed up. That account was deleted after I spammed the BBS about Emos and suicide for two years. Then in 2011 I signed up as AndreovichZhivago. Changed my name to SpankyG. Still here!

around 2001 when i started 6th grade. I had this rotation where i visit Newgrounds, StickDeath & Arcadepod...those were the days when flash was weird as fuck. SimGirl & Ganguro Girl brought me to this site daily...then eventually Frank's Adventure came out & i realize this site turned me into this pervy little fuck where i went to the library to watch mature flash vids...those were the days

I don't really remember. I think I found it randomly when searching for games to play.
