I decided to look up a song i liked called Intensive care unit by Renard, Which would eventually stumble me into the world of newgrounds with a remix of it being posted on the site.

I was already interested from as far back as 2018 but only started to get in around November 2020 for three reasons:

1.Lots of kids in my class played Pico's School around then

2.I discovered Spooky Month

3.Idk FNF was new and fun


Looking Back 10/10 def right choice

I discovered Newgrounds in around 2015 when I was searching for browser games about dragons.


I had a blast and made some great memories playing games on this site.


I decided to make an account later on in 2020 and I'm glad I did!


Most likely from porn. Yay porn!


I think I recall Franks Adventure, Numa Numa hentai, Johnny Utah was probably still making content. Egoraptor made animations. Ooh dating Sims. I played those.


Of course, this account isn't that old but that's because I abandoned my original and older accounts.

i watched a markiplier video on a game called "spewer" and wanted to play it. used it on and off for a while to play games. i only "really" started using the site a few years ago and im still not as active as i'd like to be.


Used to browse a site called stick page wayyy back in 2003, and on the side bar, they had those link buttons for different sites. One of them was Newgrounds. Clicked on it, and never looked back.

I used to play Assassin and Club A Seal when I was a kid, because it was naughty lol. I used to play a lot of the flash games back in the 00's, but I signed up because of the audio portal

I never really used NG that much back then. Except for things like checking the alternate spooky month endings and also playing some of the Henry Stickman games.


I only really started using the site after I saw the trailer for a meat boy game and I knew there was a free flash version of the game so I decided to tryout the game for myself.


the rest was history. And I made my username a few months ago. I think it was around April or somewhere around that time of year when I played meatboy and really started using the site so it’s pretty much been a year or half a year since I used NG.

I've always been exposed to newgrounds content throughout my life, (such as old animations originally from newgrounds that were uploaded on youtube that i watched, and flash games that i frequently played on flash websites like coolmathgames.com), but i was never interested in the community until i first started to indulge myself into the newgrounds audio portal. I loved the audio and the artists behind it but i still didn't know at the time if i wanted to participate in the community which is why i haven't made an account until much MUCH later.

I'm obsessed with Cyanide & Happiness, and I sought out the fertile grounds where it all began.

00's era Flash games of the adult variety, which became synonymous, at the time, with ng.


Zone-tan was basically their alt mascot.*

I think I was 8 or 9 years old, and my older brother showed me one of those kill celebrity games from ages and ages ago. This would have been in the very early 2000s, and i thought they were the coolest thing ever, and that's also how I discovered internet video game and cartoon parodies lol.

When i was in middle school, i think either 5th grade or 6th grade, i spent the day at a friends house. We played video games and the usual stuff you'd expect middle schoolers to do. At some point he had told me about Homestarr runner and happy tree friends. At some point we wound up on Newgrounds and watched a few animations. I wound up in the games section and was instantly hooked. I remember i went home and spent hours going through all of the different flash series and games. I think i even made my account that same week.

Watched stuff like Brawl Taunts and Nin10Doh reuploaded (and stolen) on Youtube. I'd heard about Newgrounds but it wasn't until early 2016 when I got into Eddsworld that I really thought about it.


Over 5 years later, I joined NG, went inactive for 3 years, then came back in 2024.
