While my account wouldn't be "old" as per-say the age of this website, it is pushing 6 years--lol.
Anyways, Hello, I'm iggykoop--formally known on here as Pelon1071--and came back to NG with the FNF Hype!
But I have used NG way before I had an account.
My earliest memory of Newgrounds was way back in elementary school. I remember a kid on the playground (because that's how information spread back in ye 'ol days) was like "Hey, check out this website, its got games and stuff"
So every time our class got to go to the computer lab, more and more kids went to Newgrounds and messed around
surprisingly NG was not blocked on our school's internet--well, that didn't last long--and it spread like wild fire.
I remember going back and keeping Tankmen open on a tab, do whatever I was doing, then tab back when teacher was not looking. I have fond memories of Tankmen, Skull kid, Super Mario 63, and divine intervention to name a few, I was probably way too young (well not probably, I was way too young for that content) but it was exciting! Until it was blocked by Admin-sama.
So we were grateful for all the people who re-uploaded their content to Youtube--lol.
I do feel a bit of guilt--not gonna lie--about abandoning my account since I made it back in 2015, and I kinda wish I had made an account sooner and been more active, but hey, here I am now! Better late then never, So sorry to my account for abandoning you for so long, I promise to never do it again. :)
Also I would like to take this time to Thank those who made all the flash games and animations that I watched as a kid, It's your work that inspired the new generation of Newgrounds creators that will one day inspire the next generation their of to be creative and make their own art. You guys are all awesome! Thank you! :)
