6 Years of NG

Today marks the 6th year that I have had an account of newgrounds. Over the years I have been thorugh 2 eras of my life but the newgrounds era stands out as the first major one. I made an oath never to quit from this site 6 years ago and I have not broken it. Newgrounds may have changed much since I first joined, and it will keep changing for as long as it lives, but I can gaurantee that till the day either me or the internet dies that I will always be here.

I'm still very nostalglic about how this site was 6 years ago though. Back when all the noobs loved the clock crew, back when sign up dates mattered, back when photoshop threads were common and when we all made cock jokes. They were the days. Newgrounds has changed since then though and I guess I have too. Newgrounds has become much more mature than I remember it. I still enjoy it here though.

One day I'll have spent half my life on newgrounds. Scary thought.

Happy, uh, birthday?

Absolutely worth it. Kid Icarus Figmas and Pokémon D-Arts and some other stuff.

aListers 2013-04-19 10:42:37

Seems worth it.

karlu20 2013-04-23 21:52:47

Yep. Now to wait for my mail.

aListers 2013-04-23 21:52:47 (Updated 2013-04-24 15:00:06)

So they haven't arrived yet?

karlu20 2013-04-24 16:47:38

Only my comic so far.

aListers 2013-04-24 16:47:38

I would've assumed that was separate anyway. Any idea how long they're going to take?

chris-the-stick 2013-04-24 23:23:22

you rock, man!
happy anniversarry!

here's to more stuff and to success on NG!

aListers 2013-04-24 23:23:22

Thanks! I hope to contribute more to the site.

karlu20 2013-04-25 17:06:36

The only other thing currently being shipped is due anywhere between the 27th and 1st. The rest of the stuff is preorders that aren't yet available and things I haven't ordered yet.

aListers 2013-04-25 17:06:36

So you just went on a 1 day online shopping spree and plan to go on more?

karlu20 2013-04-27 20:24:37

No. I bought things at a few different points and combined orders where possible.

I have two more things being shipped now and another due to ship soon.

aListers 2013-04-27 20:24:37

So you're excited for almost every day that passes now?

Void 2013-04-28 02:31:26

Nice job!
Happy late anniversary!

aListers 2013-04-28 02:31:26

thanks!

karlu20 2013-04-28 11:33:11

Yep, 27th-1st is when I'm expecting one package, 2nd or 3rd for another, and 10th-17th for the last. Plus there's the one that's due to ship soon and things on preorder/ that I've yet to buy.

aListers 2013-04-28 11:33:11

do you have enough space to put everything?

karlu20 2013-05-04 10:39:16

Going to put it all on my desk. I showed you a picture of my one thing, also got Darkstalkers 3 Toy Biz toys (the full set unopened).

aListers 2013-05-04 10:39:16

Unopened? Do you plan on opening them?

karlu20 2013-05-06 14:18:34

Can't decide yet.

aListers 2013-05-06 14:18:34

I do with I had space to put my stuff. The few figures that I own are all still boxed because I have no space for them.

karlu20 2013-05-09 14:46:45

Only thing I'm unsure about are the Darkstalkers.

aListers 2013-05-09 14:46:45

Have you got the rest of the stuff yet?

karlu20 2013-05-13 17:13:01

Everything, yeah. All I'm waiting on are things that won't be out until June and August.

aListers 2013-05-13 17:13:01

That's some wait.

karlu20 2013-05-16 19:03:15

Yeah, both come out at the end of the month too.

aListers 2013-05-16 19:03:15

So they're just pre-ordered?

karlu20 2013-05-18 09:52:50

Mmhmm. There's some other things I want to get but haven't yet as well.

aListers 2013-05-18 09:52:50

Still on the fence about buying them?

karlu20 2013-05-21 11:13:43

No. Low on $$.

aListers 2013-05-21 11:13:43

Yeah figures are expensive. I once spent over Â£100 in one day when shopping for them. IThey weren't the only things I bought but still.

karlu20 2013-05-24 10:36:57

They're pretty awesome so I really need to get a job.

aListers 2013-05-24 10:36:57

I probably should too. I think I'll just make flash and use that ad revenue thing that newgrounds has but that probably won't make me nearly as much money as a part time job though.

karlu20 2013-05-25 12:15:43

You'd probably get pennies.

aListers 2013-05-25 12:15:43

True. Newgrounds doesn't even pay you until you make $50 either so I don't think I'll be getting paid.

karlu20 2013-05-26 19:40:00

That was my point.

aListers 2013-05-26 19:40:00

I still think it's worth a try. Hopefully the newgrounds portal will have poeple who vote again. The place is kind of dead.

karlu20 2013-05-30 14:20:23

I don't, you have to be really good to get money that way.

aListers 2013-05-30 14:20:23

True but I also have a certian loyalty to this site. I feel like I should contribute to it.
