Asandir's interviews with Newgrounds forum users

When did you find Newgrounds and why did you join?

Dosensuppen:

"During the age of immaturity, preteen years, and fascination with blood and diving deep into the Internet, I was a Sonic fanboy. And, of course, as a blood thirsty, immature, Sonic fanboy, I looked for violent Sonic material. What did I come across on my dive into Google? Why, the Sonic collection, no less. Watched some animations, laughed, got a blood thrive, then explored a bit more of Newgrounds. Made an account, forgot the password, later made this account as Esshole, got the name change you see now. The reason I made an account was to make animations and share them. I was already making cartoons (badly) with Window Movie Maker and Paint."

Do you think that you changed over the time you were here, as user, or also in real life?

Dosensuppen:

"I'm not gonna lie. Newgrounds has heavily, HEAVILY shaped who I am today. And I'm not ashamed of it. I felt I grew more mature, took some of the words of other users to heart, if it made sense, and lived by some of them -- not all mind you. If it wasn't for Newgrounds, I wouldn't have been making animations. I wouldn't know what Flash really even was. Hell, even got some of the humor I share in real life because of this place. So yes, it has changed me as a user, real life, and all around. For better or worse."

Are there any other users that you like, and how do they affect you?

Dosensuppen:

"Krutches, number one. IceDragon64, Light, Kanon, Sanjeev98/Gimmick/Legnus or whatever the fuck he is now, Jolly (for the most part), Murray, Sevkat, Lintire, EDylan, Little-Rena (Regardless of his laziness), Manly-Chicken, mizzjuicyflava. Also that Asandir's a nice fellow."

VERY IMPORTANT UPDATE:

Murray asks Dosensuppen:"So how do I affect Dosensuppen?"

"You know, I don't really know if I would say he affects me too much. I certainly have a viewing of him as a friendly, all well-rounded user. Jokingly, I could say he has my name in his sig, due to me helping to edit it, so he effects me by having my name stamped to each of his posts and therefor feeding my inner attention-whore. Seems like he gave enough of a damn about me to read the interview, so that's pretty neat.

Though, I didn't really answer how the users effect me, rather just answering who I like. So, Murray probably had a little interest in that unanswered section. I like Murray, he's a friendly user and moderator. I've even enjoyed a few of his flashes.

I guess, to answer the question, Murray effects me in a fairly small way. Giving me a friendly "face" to see on the BBS pretty regularly, that I am more than happy to see."

Are there any users that you would consider enemies or that you just don't like?

Dosensuppen:

"Enemies? Nah. I don't like a few of them. Sexual-Emo, Mia, a few stuck up crew members, Mia, Im-A-Pirate, and Mia. Also, Mia. But let's not forget Mia. He's the worst. On a side note, I'm always updating what I call, "The Shithead List", so if you wanna see guys I don't like, that's a place to go to. Guess who appears first on the list?"

You were formerly named Esshole. Did you ever regret your namechange to Narcissy and thought about going back to your classic username?

Dosensuppen:

"Plenty of times. Namely since there's a punk band named Narcissy, and newbies think I'm a female to start with. I sent a PM to Wade, but he didn't do anything. Besides, I got my recognition with this username. Esshole wasn't exactly my brightest moment."

* Changed his name to Dosensuppen on April 9th, 2013 *

I guess that you have an opinion about the moderators of Newgrounds. Do you think that they do a great job or not?

Dosensuppen:

"Moderators mostly do their job well. I won't lie, I feel that some BBS Mods ban some users unfairly, but it's a rarity, and in the end, it's none of my concern. I, too, felt as if once or twice I got banned unfairly, but big deal. It's just a forum and I learned from that mistake. But, overall, I feel the moderation team is good. I can't speak on behalf on the Audio or Art mods, because I don't deal with that part. However, I assume it's just as well."

January 2011 was the month that you became an icon moderator. Do you like this activity and would you like to be some other kind of moderator?

Dosensuppen:

"Actually, I became an Icon moderator on January 14, 2011 -- My 19th birthday. However, Icon Modding really is a noble deed (One I should really pick up on). I do enjoy doing it, but I really fall behind on it, mainly looking after my flash crew and doing more flashes. Personally, I would like to moderate the forums, or give it a go. I know it's not a glamorous job, and it's probably horrid with constant bitching and facepalming, but there's a lot of threads that I would've locked early on that get locked after about two pages. Plus I'm on at the slow times, and there's a lot of no-no threads made at that time."

You got your Silver whistle on April 11th 2011. Are your proud about this achievement?

Dosensuppen:

"Why shouldn't I be? Hopefully, in a short while, I'll get the cheesy looking gold whistle. The Silver one is the most attractive."* Dosensuppen got the gold whistle on September 9th 2011

You recently got your first award, the Daily Third for your flash entry "Death Star: The Nick Name". Can you tell our readers how you felt winning this trophy?

Dosensuppen:

"I spent the whole day watching over the portal when I saw my flash was one of the highest scoring flashes that day. And I knew it was a slow day. So, when I first got it, I felt pissed off since it hit the time for the awards to be picked and my flash wasn't there. I hopped over to the daily, he got it, I hopped over to a few others and they got it. No third in sight, saw mine and just gave a "Yes!" I felt pretty good about it. Finally thought, "I'm finally worth a damn." But I got a long, long way to go before I can even hope to get front paged. Maybe I just got lucky."

You are a member of the Soup Squad. Can you explain, what the Soup Squad is and what kind of role you have there?

Dosensuppen:

"Soup Squad is a flash group started by Little-Rena. It attracted a few newbs and became quickly inactive, with only two flashes released, done not-so-great, under the Soup Squad name. Recently, it has picked back up.

Basically, I'm second in command of the whole group. I actually run it. The leader basically agrees with me. I brought the crew out of an early grave and made it my own. I'm more or so often looked at as the real leader and top contributor. Still, there are some way better flash artists in there. I handle all the politics."

You are also an active member of the Newgrounds Police Department. Tell our readers about your work there.

Dosensuppen:

"Find stolen flash, report stolen flash. But you also gotta be level-headed and considerate of your fellow users. But it's mainly B/Ping and looking for stolen and malicious flash."

What can we expect from you in the future, Dosensuppen?

Dosensuppen:

"More Soup Squad flashes. Of course, more on the Death Star, I seemed to caught something there. I would like to reboot a failed game series I made due to my rookieness. But, overall, you'll still have the same non-standing out Dosensuppen -- especially on the BBS."
