I feel like I have this specific connection to Newgrounds and I'm not sure if anyone else feels nostalgic about it or even remembers it. It was the time period between 2009 and 2010, back when I was merely 10 years old and had created a shitstorm on the website. I created a beautiful mess of "anti-spam/troll" groups, awful artwork, horrible threads, and even the Plate Guys.

For me, it was a piece of my childhood, albeit a fucked up one. I guess I get a little sad sometimes when I notice old profiles and posts of friends and enemies disappearing. Sometimes I really enjoy looking through old posts to reminisce on those times I had here, when things were different. I still love this site, don't get me wrong, but shit used to be so crazy and alive. Sometimes those posts and profiles are all I have left to remind myself of the chaos. It's a damn shame watching a lot of it fade away, especially when I'm not even sure if there's anybody here left who really remembers the same stuff either.

Any of you old timers feel me on this?

I was referring more to slowly watching old profiles and posts from your old times just kinda disappear and what a sucky feeling that is. I ain't got no problems with the website nowadays, I just wish the old stuff didn't have to vanish as time goes on is all. But yeah feel free to lump me in that basic 90s nostalgia category.

I wasn't active in the forums back in the day, which for me was 07-08.

But I do remembering logging on by pure chance during one of the Clock Crews raids. Being naive I attempted to blam their submissions to no avail. It was a unique experience for me, watching as one flash was uploaded after the other. I don't really see anything quite like it now a days.

I have these feels quite often, albeit a bit more for 2005-2007 which isn't as good as everyone says it was, there is a lot of romanticizing done about "back in the day." It was really fun, just before Youtube this place was the hub of internet content submission and lots of viral videos started here.

Lots of us discovered things here that haven't popped up in recent years, Salad Fingers, Madness, Decline of Video Gaming, Links Quest for Ass. What's there been for good internet shows in the last 5 years that's been on par with those narratives? Stupid Mario Bros and Don't Hug me I'm Scared by my counts.

I came here in middle school to beat up celebrities, undress hentai girls and have Pico shoot his classmates. It was the "shock" site of the internet. it's toned down more and more every year.

I joined this site 11 years ago because my dad showed me all the fucked up flash movies and games

he and newgrounds itself completely fucked me up psychologically to this day

Haha dude you're probably the only guy left who even remembers that stuff about me besides the occasional stranger who comments "plate" on my news posts. So I'll consider us homies. Also, is it weird seeing me as like a functioning human being now? I've always wondered, especially recently since I had someone tell me I'll "always be 10" in their mind.

I once made a thread when I was 10 where I asked if anyone on NG could draw this anime OC I came up with, whom I also claimed I wanted to date if she were real. The next five pages were just me getting bullied with some dickneck-level shit. Her name was "Shinobu."

And one time when I was like 10 and was using youtube, I did dancing cat animations lasting for three minutes on a 3 second loop. One of them was carmelldansen (which I traced and turned into a bootleg furry), uploaded it multiple times, and made possibly the dumbest description for it.
But, on top of that, I also made sock puppet accounts a while later to insult my old videos through comments. And I made other "creepy" sock puppet accounts and pretended to troll myself. AND, they were spread across tons of different videos too.

Don't you test me, boi.

Yeah man, i joined around 2008. and flip-flopped between here and 4chan so the fucked shit kinda stayed with me. I had a huge wave of nostalgia returning here a few months ago.

I'll reminisce with you

in 2006 i signed up on 12/7/06 (the same date as prinzy2). I signed up because I used to play Runescape with @Strength (you should grabbed his cock), and this led to us talking on Yahoo! Messenger. From there, he told me I should join newgrounds. I joined because I loved that kiddo (at my ripe age in 2006). I signed up as agustana (ERROR — No user "agustana" exists in our system.)

i was a member of this website from 2006-2011, when i had all of my posts deleted and my account deleted.

i was here through all the "birthday threads", it was like every single user that frequented the website get a cool birthday thread (usually dicks), i was here through dick neck (the beast awakens), the rise of stickam, the rise of @EyeLovePoozy on stickam with his crane, penicorns,nd so much more.

I spent my time chatting with users like @Purpin, @Sarcasm, @BaronVonBadGuy, @tehslaphappy, @ZJ, @Asindir, @ngfan14, and so, so, so many other users

@Zerok was cool when i was here, where he is now?
@WadeFulp spent time on stickam with the users of this website and actually took time to get to know some of them

people planned meetups all over the world (i'm not talking just mod meetups; i'm talking sometime just all user meetups, and sometimes a variety)

i was here when this place was ALIVE with life

then i left

and i came back five years later

i came back in 2017 and i still have no clue why i came back

but i did

and i still love it here even though it's so, so, so different

The funny thing is that it was my Dad who also accidentally lead me to NG when he sat me down as a 7 year old kid and we legit played Dad n Me together. He told me never to play that game again and not to tell my mom. I immediately clicked the link to NG on the game when he left the room.
