Hi everyone! My name is Gunner, i started out back on this site in 2006. Ive came and went a few times over the years, but recently had something pulling me back into coming back here. It's been roughly 8 years or so since ive been on this account. When i was active on here i was a lot younger, and quite a few things have changed for me since my leave from newgrounds. Im glad to be back, and will try to be active again like I once was. Glad to see this site is still up and kicking after all these years. Made many a good memory on this site, and glad i could return again to relive some nostalgia and to make some more amazing memories. Love you all, hope everyone is doing great. <3

Uh, hi. Yes! First day back.. thinking about staying around from time to time..

I wonder what happened to BlueHippo or JadeTheAssassain? I miss those 2. I Probably miss more but can’t remember them all.

does wade or Tom still make a random check in with a post in general chat still? Or are they busier nowadays?

anywho, I see there’s no more signatures anymore? I wonder why that is? Those were always great to see what people had lol.

anywho, life happened to me (as it does us all). Ended up becoming homeless (no correlation with my name), and a heroin addict. Finally got clean a couple years ago. Been trying to figure out what to do in life and in the meantime I play my guitar for fun and just tune out the noise of the world.

learned quite a bit on my adventures in life and I wouldn’t trade them for anything. I was a weird addict, spent all my time in a bathroom learning about psychology, philosophy, and religions from all over the world while I got high.. had some supernatural type encounters that led me to further research other people’s supernatural testimonies as well.. either way, I came out on top thankfully. And have put my “past in the past” so to speak.

I hope all is well with everyone!

Jade still pops in and BlueHippo posted this past year too.

I post occasionally.

Forum signatures should still be working!

Ty for letting me know everything!

And is it because I’m on here with my iPhone that I don’t see any signatures?

what does it show my signature as? I can’t even remember what I had for a signature a decade ago!

This a new account of mine but I went by the name Braydog (BoxerBraydog in full) from 2015-2020. If you were a consistent forum poster or chat user during the later half of 2017 than you’ll likely remember. After that era I spent the next 2 1/2 years returning and leaving again and again before the account got nuked.

I used to desperately try and make my way into all the portals with my limited artistic skill. Now I’m just here to make random poems on the writing BBS until I go to college and get a life.

Back after many many years, joined back in 2008 and disappeared around 2010. Does not feel like it was so long ago.

You whippersnappers! Hey s1nt3ch/severed_fingers here. Just checking in. Just wanted to say hi and thank newgrounds for my formative digital entertainment years. My work here took a long break, but my path led me to working on some great things. Most recently have was working on a few AAA games for the big Act/Blzz folks. Currently have all the free time in the world.

i mean i come ever so happen to play a few games, but the BBS isn't what it use to be so i haven't posted in forever Lol

I remember this name. In my head, it was always pronounced "snitch".

I started poking around the site again in the last year (what would have caused that, I wonder).

When I first made my Newgrounds account, I cared so little about it that I chose random numbers as quickly as I could. I had no idea that the site would be responsible for guiding my personal development as a teenager, and laying the foundation for my entire career. I am currently helping launch Halo: Infinite, one of my favorite franchises. I simply would not be here without the influence of Newgrounds. Thanks to Tom and friends. :D

I am probably completely wrong but I might hold the record for longest time between making a thread and posting to it 11 years lol. I somehow remembered what email I used back then and was able to get back into this ancient account I made when I was a child.

I made this account to watch and discuss about sprite animation, but more so post in those "tennis" threads where they ask you to "finish the drawing". I also made blogs about video games, ala AVGN style on my profile page.

"TOEZ" is surprisingly *not* a foot fetish, but rather an acronym for Take Off Every Zig (which I guess is still represented in my signature after all these years). What a time 2007 was - fuck I'm old.

i like games

thats literally it

Hey! I remember you. You were one of my first actual fans in the AP, back when the follow button may as well have been a friend request. Good to see you back!

bro this was rote before I was born

I AM ANCIENT IN NEWGROUNDS YEARS.

Nice to meet all of you folks, old and new. Nothing will beat the super late nights discovering random flash games/videos made with primitive programming, or running through the BBS and getting to know a bunch of randos and bond over whether or not bedn stoled teh cadney.

Forreal though, thanks for this thread, Fulpie <3 Glad to pop my head back in every now and then and show some love to the site that really got me started on internet culture.

nah i left around 2010 aswell Lol

Heya FastbootsZA! Welcome...back? Did you just get back?

Feels like I've seen your name around way longer than a couple weeks here...

I joined around 04, was 14 years old at the time. I also happened to get on Gaia at the same time. Lost my old account but I still got this one :D

Hi im @RyanOnNewgrounds

And This Is My Favorite Meme

I don't recall any scandals with the old one hmm, curious now...

Cool to see you back though!

Canada seems almost like Sweden eh. XD Welcome onto the Grounds Ryan!

Belated warm welcome Adultism!

lol.

hi jerome

lmao so many old names ...

hi, I joined when I was 12 and was most active during what some would call the tail end of "the golden years", immediately pre-redesign/a couple years after. had fun posting on the bbs mostly, it was my introduction to "online posting communities" so I think back fondly on it from time to time. got into really dumb shit bc when you're a teenager you need a place to be a dickhead with no repercussions apart from a 24 hour ban or w/e. speaking of which I hope they still don't give out 24-hour bans for double posting like in the 00s. anyway! it was good to pop in and say hi

im gay

^ no but actually? I'd like to see a headcount of how many old users here were troubled homosexuals working through their inner turmoil via exaggerated homophobia

It has been a long while since coming back to newgrounds. I was originally on newgrounds around the 2007-2010 period but quit cause of some past negative experiences here(some of which I may have caused to myself or was unfairly treated. But because things change and new people arrive, I find its best to try and give NG another try.

Now I just post a bunch of livestreams on youtube

I have yet to get back into flash and start making more content.

Hi I'm Cabzx, been a member for a while did a lot of reviews back in the day. Been away since 2013, but I recently got into game development and I am back. Wil still try to review and keep my stuff up to date. Here is my first game: https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/819631

I'm in the same situation ! That's crazy !

I just decided today to recover my account & bam.

my account is 16 years old today. neat.

was on ng well before 2008 -- often took up the majority of my "computer class" time since I had already "mastered" the material before ever taking the computer classes. I've lived in 5 US States and 3 countries since then.

still chime in every now and then to revisit my old nostalgic favorites.
