Question: Why even after all these years, you're still on NG?

754 Views | 51 Replies

Not that the other options are better. If anything, I think the alternatives are worse, but I wanted to know why even after all these years some folks never left.


I know I used Newgrouds since around 2006, but only made my first account on 2009 and my most recent one on 2011.


Going back to it it feels familiar, yet slightly updated.


What made you guys stick to this place, though?

It's not a choice

Great community, great content, an admin who actually gives a fuck, and it made my childhood on the internet more awesome.


That's why I'm still here.

desperately clinging to an adolescence long passed


I'm relatively new (as a member at least) but I appreciate those who have been here a long time and kept NG going. It's the reason I ended up here. This is pretty much the only place I can find that in any way resembles internet communities as I remember them being pre-social-media, which is still online and has an active community.

Occasionally someone will come around here trying to pull that Twitter/Facebook/Reddit/ bullshit, and it is so fucking satisfying to see the community rise up like a tidal wave and shut that shit down immediately.

Newgrounds is still one of the last holdouts of how the internet was 10-15 years ago.

Can definitely relate to that. NG just hit different on the early teens.

I was mostly just browsing when I was younger, but I never realized how SOCIAL the entirety of NG is, with all the content being produced BY users for the users themselves. I mean, I knew that, but never understood how rad that was until I met massive corporations and their products and wishing I was back here lmao.


Congrats on sharing your music!

Ah yes, the remnants of my edgy teens phase.


Now I'm only an ever so slightly edgy adult.


Some things change. Not much, but a bit.

What kind of stuff? I'm immediately intrigued to see the NG culture rejecting modern social media trends and whatnot
