@Dean @Murray
Has anyone been banned for a year or more?

The most I've had are 60 day bans.

I will be next year. Ive just got to wait for two more Madness Days to happen. I did, however, go though a few years of inactivity, so I guess I'm not really "regular".

This is the old me, by the way. I even had to re-register my email address, it's been so long.

Most users take breaks now and again. It can be hard to define what " regular" means.

Right. I used to spend hours a day here on the portals. Though, I was in high school and didn't work as much, so I had an abundance of free time and no social life. But, I digress. I'll be around more frequently as I'm changing careers and losing a massive amount of hours off my work week.

First break was when I moved out the first time. at one point I stopped coming because they closed locked the ASM. Id say I spent years in that one thread post updates and making sigs for anyone and everyone. Meh

Well how would you define what makes someone a "regular"?

Id say a regular is someone who frequents the forums and participates in conversations or what have you. To do so you have to be here for a currently relevant span of time. I'm an occasional returner. I know only the trends from when I was a regular. since then i've come and gone treating the BBS as more of a randomly chosen waiting room. Pop in and hear what people are saying...throw something or two out there and pop off back to your life.
Ill guess that most regular users eventually become occasional returners like my self.

Hellbound, whazup. Your name is another that rings a bell but I don't fully recall.

Maybe I saw you a bunch in the ASM. I don't 'spose you could cook up something for me? Something simple like yours would be cool; the way there's no border and it blends into the background color.

NG was always shitty, it was just a better kind of shitty.

04-08 was a great time but then after that it all went downhill.

Getting unusually nostalgic for back then, I decided to look up a few of the ol' gang on here from like ten fucking years ago, and found a surprising number either inactive for many years, or simply deleted profiles.

So I'm wondering, who's still around who was here a decade or longer ago? I stopped being active/regular around 2006/2007, and have barely looked in since then.

Hey your name is familiar! I haven't used this site in years, one year shy of it being 10 years since i made an account though i've known Newgrounds existed for probably 13-14 years now.
Perfect thread to see when i decide to log back in for the first time in ages.

Has anyone been banned for a year or more?

There was someone whose handle I can't remember who made it his sole purpose to bash anything related to anime posted on the BBS. He got something like a five year ban for general jackassery and actually came back when the time was up to continue his shit. It was hilarious.

Just remembered, RancidPsychoJosh. Look it up if you're a loser, like me, who finds humor in whacky Internet antics before 4chan made it mainstream.

crazy that there are people on here who remember that RancidPsychoJosh was banned for a long time, probably over a decade ago

crazy that that's even a piece of trivia but also crazy that there are also people like me on here who remember such ancient history

wtf

I think at some point it did actually have a pretty good forum, but that might just be rose-tinted glasses

like I know at the time I thought it was 'sifting for gold in a river of shit', during the so-called glory days there was a surpluss of o rly owls

Well look at my join date. You do the math. I left this site mostly because of bigbadron being a fuckin douche bag always deleting my threads and posts. I would always get into arguments with him, and he was a grown man (apparently) I was a teenager back then. I just realised that newgrounds thread were for unevolved minds, and I didn't fit in.

I've been reading through around the middle pages of your posts, and I remember you pretty clearly. Bigbadron was always a bit of a douche; being a bit too fun-police, but I personally never had a problem with him.

But even I back then was pretty against any and all drug discussion. It wasn't so much unevolved minds as closed ones. I never had a problem with you, really, other'n the usual teenage drama shit.

I'm 26 now. How old're you?
