Growing out of Newgrounds

[Leeloo-Minai]

Everyone has to do it sometime, unless of course you plan on affiliating or pursuing a career in flash-based artwork.

I used to like voting on new submissions, I'd enjoy finding the proverbial gemstone in the rough and helping it along the way. I also used to have high-speed internet.

But time's change and people do, too. Hell, even the moderation team has undergone drastic changes. The mod toolz are still mostly the same.. but even they got a nice new destroy button that probably goes underused. Since the de- and re-modding of funkBRS, the modding and de-modding of sarai, osamarama and a handful of others (all for different reasons), I guess I've sorta lost the high-hoped faith in the group of people entrusted to help make this website a great place to be.. for everyone, as the new motto states.

Alas, I've grown fucking weary of NG, without the ability to load and consume new works of art via the portal. I've just been a forum jockey, putting my two cents in here and there to fill the gaps in my day with worthless banter. But even banter leads to revelations and changes of opinion, or at least something remotely interesting. That's one thing Newgrounds has never had a shortage of, interesting material. From new video games to idiot politicians to just idiots in general (small 'g'), newgrounds HAS ALWAYS provided an avenue into something that snares you in and holds your attention.

Ever heard Stamper rap? Check it out.

But yeah, growing out of newgrounds is inevitable for most people, me included.

Do what you gotta do.

[Doom-Fan]

Haha, you fucking fail, just get the fuck out.

[The-Laugher-Of-Lor]

Hell no. I will remain chained to this computer chair for the remainder of my life.

[qman1]

You should've deposited since you joined. People would listen to you more.

[Armerad]

No, my balls are stapled too firmly to be ripped away.

also, you've barely deposited, and have very few posts.

GTFO

[greenfaerie4]

I will always post here unless I lose my fingers.

[FUNKbrs]

Dude, I got demod/remoded like three years ago.

Fucking ace for remembering, but it's kinda old news.

There's LOTS of awesome floating around the NG community, but it's ALWAYS been watered down with idiocy. I think you've just gotten lazy.

[JaY11]

I'll be immature forever and never leave this site and then become the user everyone thinks is an old pedophile.

I grew out of Newgrounds a slightly different way. I id othink the time for everyone comes though. It's a good forum to share your ideas or opinions if you know the right people I think. I won't say much more now because I'm right where I am in that link, which I'm fucking ashamed at myself for in a way. It's a good topic to put forward though in regards to you.

on a side-note, if stories ever get unbanned ,i Iwould like to be messaged.

[americanidiot2f]

I can't really think of a good reason to even leave Newgrounds. Yes, I may have times when I just need to focus on work and not go on Newgrounds, but that doesn't mean I will be growing out of Newgrounds. Newgrounds isn't all that immature, there are stupid topics here and there, but also a lot of interesting topics.

[igott]

ahaha, Get out.

The fact your level is so high and you have a pretty heavty post count after just one year makes me depressed at what a pathetic society we have become.

[TheWolfe]

I was about to be like "DUDE! How would you know! Your low level and low post count! DUDE!"
But then i saw the sign up date...
I shall choose to ignore it, and forget this thread exists, just like you.

[kailias]

Wow... just wow dude.

Nooo, he obviously knows his shit.

[Timmy]

I can't really see myself ever growing out of Newgrounds.

I just need to take some time away from the site here and there.

For instance, I'm currently taking a year long sabbatical from visiting the site as much as I used to, or at all (I used to be on here 24-7 for a year or 2) so I can concentrate on my first year of law school.

But Newgrounds has too much to offer in the way of entertainment and community to ever completely cast it aside.

Welp, see ya later

[monkey]

actually, i plan on going on here for the remainder of my life, in fact, i plan on pasing my account on to my son once he turns 13.

Thanks. I still have the sigs too, highlighting your non-highlighted name :)

I've been too lazy, that's true, but i'm not far gone from being able to afford (and want) a high-speed connection. Damn internets aren't cheap.

[sirtom93]

The only way I'm leaving is livecorpse style.

[Pixmintro]

Hmm, I doubt I'll ever get sick of Newgrounds since I strive to make legitimate movies for this site. And it's paid off so good... You can't get sick of a lifestyle (Can't you?)...

[Gendo]

I'm a boring idiot, so I'll be here forever.

[iateamexican]

BAAAAAAAAWWWW
Get a job.

[maverickR]

Why'd the hell did they remod you?

I thought once you were demodded , you were GAWN

[hoodpru]

I thought I was away but then they took my balls and stapled me right next to armered

[Minion777]

Phantom, growing IN. Thicker skin.

[MultiCanimefan]

I'm having my sign-up date, post count, level, blams and saves, the name of the site, exp. points, and rank engraved on a plaque when I quit. Which will be when I die.

[dkwrtw]

GTFO then chump, you will not be missed.

[CryogenChaos]

The BBS would be in an uproar if I left, so for the safety of the people I'm not allowed to leave.

Actually, I tried to left a couple of times, but I always find myself coming back. I love this place, the people here are great (mostly). It's like that girlfriend you get that every now and then you break up with but end up asking out again because deep down you care.
