This place has changed over time... well for me at least. Nearing my 4000th post, I came to find that this place has morphed into something completely different than what I once thought it was.

I used to come here around 2 years ago to play the games and watch the movies, then I tried to increase my stats. After a while I found the BBS... what a great day it was.

But in that moment newgrounds changed for me, it just became a forum over the flash site I once loved. There were good times in the forum too. I saw good users go and some new ones come in. That was all fun.

I saw the site get a complete makeover and yet I still did not watch the flash outside of getting those exp points.

I guess what I am trying to say is that I think I need to get back to watching flash more and remember what newgrounds was made for.

But do not fret, I will still be very active on the forums... I just will be watching more movies and getting more in touch with the rest on NG!

Thanks for these past few years NG!

Dude, you've been here since 06, it was the time when the portal was spammed and the forum posted with stupid threads, i think it was that year almost all of the regular and mods left. If you were there in 04, that year was the greatest and still is! imo

Wow, it's the complete oposite for me. I've been watching tons of Flash lately, and I'm just now getting back into the BBS.

I've actually been going to NG since '99 but since I was too young to sign up I never did. Of course back then I came for the adult section. Now I come for the community.

I discovered NG from my friend on here a long time ago when he 1rst mentioned it but never got into checking it out and understood it until I signed up in 07. Time was lost :(

When people talk about sites, i always check them out even if i say i didn't.

... Your welcome?

I remember the only reason I started originally using the BBS (with my older account, MrTutorial) is because I needed help on flash.

Then I discovered the General Forum.

I forgot what the first topic I saw in General was, but it's kept me here all these years.

Didn't everyone come for the adult section?

Yeah me too, I also started visiting in 1708, but because the internet didn't exsist back then I waited to sign up.

Now I'm 56 and signed up two years ago.

And I also do drugs and lick cocks.

I remember the shitload of Zango shit that used to be in the Adult section haha. I switch back and forth from posting here and watching the flashes.

ya we do have to balance it out and make time. u cant have newgrounds without the flash and games. u also cant have it without the community. since i spend time for flash and games, i'm trying to post more on the BBS.

I find sigs unoriginal...
