So, Ive been registered here almost going two years now (from next month) and until now Ive pretty much only been using Newgrounds as a medium for sharing my music on. Back in 2014 I had absolutely no Interest in music at all, and would never have guessed that it would become a large part of the next two years (and hopefully the rest of) my life. It started with the mobile game that a lot of people here are arguing about right now (Geometry Dash), and I wont bring the name up too much but that game is what really got me into music and the process of making it. In fact all of the flame wars about this game is what made me get involved in the NG Forums, so I figured why not use this as an excuse to get started (Hence introducing myself)
Im just wondering what kind of things I should get involved in over here because I havent really explored this area of the site yet.

Even though you're no exactly a new user, welcome to the site! Everyone deserves a welcome.

Anyways, a lot of people seem to share music through GD and I warn you to be careful with that. Don't submit anything that isn't your own work. A lot of people have been banned for abusing GD and uploading songs that weren't theirs. Only submit your own work you created in GD, okay? I'd hate to see yet another user get banned for abusing Geometry Dash.

Finally, you should've explored this part of the site sooner! The forums can be a lot of fun and can be a good place to voice your opinion on something, ask questions, and to find people to work on a project with you. You just need to find the right forum, since we have several. If you don't know exactly where to post something, you can always ask a mod like myself or post the question in the Where is/How to/Help forum. :)

I mainly registered to help with the audio reporting, but I barely come on here aside from looking for music.
Yes, I'm a GD player.
No, I'm not one of those players that post music that's not their own. I report those.
I'd remove the "GD" in my name if I had Supporter and if the name's not already used.

Nice to meet you!

Another user that isn't exactly new, but welcome! Glad to have you!

This is the official thread to help with reporting rule breaking audio if you didn't know already:

Glad to meet another member wanting to help out with rule breaking submissions! Good luck!

Hi, friends.

Signed up recently. Love the website.

I design cute characters in Adobe Illustrator. Considering uploading my work to 'Art'.

I dont really play geometry dash anymore, its just what got me into making my own music and led me to NG in the first place. You dont need to worry about me abusing copyright ;) I respect other peoples work as much as I respect my own.
Im going to try my best to start flagging more inappropriate content too.

It is always awesome to meet users from other nations. Just to see what is important or big news in a different place. You are welcome. If you have any questions, let me know.

Hi everyone,

New here. I'm from The Netherlands, run a YouTube animation channel where I feature my own work, and have always been interested in all things animation, from stop-motion to abstract, experimental stuff. My heroes are Jim Henson and Carl Barks and whoever made that caveman claymation short that I once watched as a kid, completely mesmerized.

See you around!

I really like your Plonka series and your "Plonka Sun of a bitch" video is my favorite!

It's a shame that they don't have more views! You should submit your Plonka series here on Newgrounds. I have a feeling they'd do pretty well!

Good luck, bud!

Cheers!

One the reasons I haven't amassed that many views yet is because I've only now started promoting my channel a little. I mean I didn't want to go crazy with it. Nice to hear you like Plonka though, as most people are drawn towards "Captain Eagle Man" and stuff.

Anyway, thanks for the welcome!

Hi I'm new in newgrounds :D.

What I like about of NG is the talented people what is in this place. It really amazes me a lot the great work they do in movies, games, art, music.. it's really amazing Newgrounds, I love it. Is the page of my infance :D, because I met her when I was 12 years old approx xD.

Hey! I'm here to make music and art and hopefully bring some kind of a positive effect to this site, Newgrounds has been one of my favourite website since I was a kid, when I was playing games like Dad n' Me, and Kill Car. Hopefully I can be of service to this site, thanks!

Thanks for sticking around and finally signing up!

Hey there NewGrounds. CrappyPaintPapa here, I do short skits in ms paint but I also have a short animation ongoing series "Sticks & Stones". I've posted a few videos here, but never properly introduced myself. I was watching the story of Alan Becker (creator of animation vs animator series) and he talked a lot about NG. I've been on NG before, when I was a kid, for the fun short games.

The reason I love this website is because it is extremely animator friendly, compared to youtube where there's a plague of gaming, content stealing, noncreative channels. I know my animations are still mediocre, but I do have a great (in my opinion) story to tell through my series.

This being said, I hope to expand my fanbase and have fun doing so. I'm a full time student but I do my best to be consistent with my content.

Thank you Tom Fulp for providing a great environment to amateur animators. Cheers!

Hello all,

I'm not new here. However, I haven't really done a lot other than play and rate game and movies. Lately, I've wanted to be part of the community and not just an idle account. I'd like to make some friends, share some input, and maybe create a few things along the way.

I made an audio recording a long time ago but never got scouted. I've been thinking of trying again with original material. I've also been interested in making games for quite a while. I think I may take the time to learn that as well.

Anyways, hello world and nice to meet ya.

Hi guys ! My name is megaman4540 , i'm a very young gamer . I go to this site for entertainment , playing games , watch some animations , and see some art . I usually play games and go to the forum , this is a great alternative to tumblr or youtube .
I have one question , is it okay to upload vlogs or gaming videos in the movie section ?
I'm kinda shy on this website because i'm new and i dont know anyone , but as time will pass this will go away .. probably . And yes i read the rules before coming here .

I would leave vlogs for youtube, however you can link them in your News Posts if that's your thing. The Portal is for animations and the like. Just to save you the humiliation of it getting removed.

If the Vlogs are mostly animated, it should be okay. If you look at Raziberry or Zone-Tan, they each have something SORT OF related to vlogs, but done in animated form. Not sure if you can animate gaming videos like play throughs or the like, though...unless you literally just animate what you did in the video game.
