hi it is JimmyTheCaterpillar and I am breathing on this earth as a former 12 year old who was on this site, and active in General and somehow i lived! what a mess!!! it was special and formative >:( anyway i'm not a piece of shit

i will be for some reason not deleting this account and starting anew because HONESTLY i am obsessed with archival and this account is a gold mine for the journal I never kept as a kid. suffer me, future me -- lucky enough that i probably won't have 2 worry about too many people reading this anyway.

i have been poring over old BBS posts of mine to that degree and have been curious to see my bizarre attempts at shitposting, obvious attention-seeking, and my attempts to deceive my identity (while not good weird in retrospect this was also kind of smart lol). being an adolescent is crazy. i'm sorry for calling kristen stewart a bitch, i do not know that woman!!!!!!!!!

any way

i write poetry and still do that and i will maybe try to become enamored with the writing forum here, i would love to meet more like-minded stupid idiot crazy people who walk around at night chanting lines 2 themselves!!!!

also i love newgrounds wtf this site is amazing!!!! i never forgot are you dumb!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ng4lyfe <3 u were always in my heart this beautiful beating flesh of creativity and hands dancing

is alive.

if you deadass read all of this i probably can admit that i love you!!! or something! have a good night , at least, always

wow!!! i'm honored that you read my post, thank you -- i'm glad it resonated :>

How does it feel to have outlived the general forum? For me, my disappointment is mild and my day is not at all affected xD

JimmyTheCaterpillar 2023-10-13 13:51:31

yeah yk i definitely don't find myself missing it too much -- i've been sincerely enjoying engaging with work through reviews and some DMs. The forums are good too, a little quiet I've found, but I find it's so much easier to actually connect here through the creative output itself these days anyway.

I miss photoshop threads tho :')

ADR3-N 2023-10-13 14:29:16

@JimmyTheCaterpillar Yeah, I don't miss the drama, or the politics, which I don't think had much of a place here to begin with. A lot of that has come to the supporter party forum now, easy enough to avoid and away from the public eye

I will say I've had more luck in the Audio and other forums getting traction than usual. Glad to hear that's your experience too!

Hey, I remember you. From the NG Chat days. I read this whole post.

I would similarly like to admit that when I was a kid on Newgrounds I did things that made people think I was a bastard. I'm scared to look at my old Flash movie and Flash game reviews (many of the things I said back there were just straight up pointlessly mean) - even though some of them were quite darkhorsey with the review audiences approving of them. An example of one that was positive and thrived was when I appreciatively reviewed certain cartoons by Barfquestion.

I also remember crazy review ratings from the voters on the website when the polls were quite anomalous, that said things like "There's some debate, but overall people think this is a useless review" and "People are fighting over how helpful this review is!" on the bottom of reviews I made, automatically.

I'm glad that I was in early to experience Newgrounds, but I started interacting with it when I was like 13, and I didn't behave so well. I got traumatized as a result. Though if I didn't come here in 2009 and explore a lot, I would have missed out on some big web history for sure. It's just a shame I went carelessly and naively with an incomprehensible Flash cartoon I made into General, not understanding my lack of self-awareness.

And yes, I realize I'm a year late.

Merry Christmas, Jimmy.
