UPDATE: Hello from the front page! If you were expecting an animation, surprise, this is a podcast! Feel free to save this in your memory to listen later, either here or wherever you get your podcasts. Enjoy!

It's a very special day. On this very day ten years ago, willKMR first created his Newgrounds account. To celebrate, he's taking his pal PsychoGoldfish and traveling back in time(!) to visit the Newgrounds he first joined. Back in 2009, everything was borders, tiny text and IRC chats - and it was beautiful.

And against all odds, GoodL and littlbox of ACoupleOfCrickets are here too. It's OPERATION 2009!

If you want to go back in time as well, use this link: bit.ly/op2009

Featuring a song by dogl and custom art by Snackers.
