Asandir's interviews with Newgrounds forum users
When did you find Newgrounds and why did you join?
"I joined Newgrounds in late 2008, around the time Dark Cut 3 was released, at the time I found myself obsessed with it and joined because I wanted to review it, Although I'll be honest before joining I did lurk Newgrounds for a year or two it was a friend of mine who doesn't get on anymore, his name was hoodpru, but he also had a major role to play in my joining of Newgrounds whether it was for games similar to Dark cut or the video game collections section. A little while later, I found myself to start getting a bit bored of watching the same flash over and over so I started getting an interest in the audio portal where throughout the years I've found many gems among the portal. I had got my name from a character in Wild Arms 2, who was one of my favorite characters throughout the game, I then later began to write a story about my own character named Kanon but it didn't take off too well even for it being my first chapter."

Do you think that you changed over the time you were here, as user, or also in real life?
"I believe I have, I went from some immature kid to someone who will take the time to stop and listen to those around me, as well as try to help out where I am needed. I know there is still so much more to learn while I am here as a user, but to others I have become a friend you can count on for practically anything both as a user and real life. My life out of Newgrounds as Ironic as it may be, before I joined I was always timid and to myself, very anti social, thankfully though I've grown out of it only to become this bold and sarcastic user who has made many more friends both on Newgrounds and out of Newgrounds."

Are there any other users that you like, and how do they affect you?
"Pretty much anyone on my list, though many may ponder what they've done to get on there, my answer to them is that they've all been cool users and made my time here very enjoyable. Retrospective, logic, Dosensuppen, Asandir (YOU), Murray, Gimmick/Legnus if he can decide what he wants to use are a few that I communicate with on a daily or frequent basis. It so hard to say how each has individually affected me, but everyone who's gotten to know me has always been there to steer me in the right direction if something came up, and you got to be thankful for that."

Are there any users that you would consider enemies or that you just don't like?
"Fortunatly no, and I hope to keep it that way, as I'm not here to make enemies (I don't think anyone is really except Dosensuppen who's still accepting applications). If anything I do look for is someone who has courage enough to express their opinions and debate with me on a certain subject. For this I have to thank Light because of the "hotsaucing" thread I made a month or so back, as that is a perfect example of what I look forward to in a topic debate and discussion."

I guess that you have an opinion about the moderators of Newgrounds. Do you think that they do a great job or not?
"I think personally they're doing fine with what they're doing, although I wish there would be a moderator of some sort to be on from the times of midnight until five or six in the morning, as I've noticed around that time, everyone is turning in and it's like a massive hole in forum security if you will."

Would you like to become a moderator on Newgrounds? If so, what kind of moderator?
"I've put a lot of thought into being a Forum Moderator and how it would impact both my social life and my real life, Honestly I think it's a goal many have but I don't think people take the time to look at both sides of the coin before saying something. I believe that if Tom thinks it's a position he thinks I am ready for or deserve, I'll accept it and try to make the place better so everyone else would be happy, while still upholding the rules and so on. As of now however, I feel it's a position I am not yet ready for but I'll keep doing my best to help report trolls/spam and the such to Murray or EyelovePoozy as they've both been there to share their advice with me and tell me what to look for or what to report, I think I can thank them though as I've seen my posting habits have been getting better and better as I go."

Halloween will come soon. Are you looking forward to experience Halloween on Newgrounds and what are your expectations?
"Honestly Halloween has been a great time of the year for me, but I think with the redesign in progress, the halloween theme will probably be the same as last year. So I'm mutual about halloween on Newgrounds as far as what the theme will look like, but I'm anxious to see what the contest will be this time."

The redesign is rumoured to happen within the next months, are you looking forward to it? What kind of changes do you want to see?
"I was a bit disappointed to hear it was moved from said month to the other said month, but at the same time I'm not really disappointed as I can understand with all the user requests and such being sent in constantly, I'm hoping it'll be done and here before 2012, but again I'm being patient and really waiting for them to be 100% ready themselves before submitting something that's full of flaws."

Your current profile picture shows you and a very cute dog. How many pets do you have and how important are pets for you?
"I currently have three cats, and two very dumb dogs. They are all important, I'll have days where they give me trouble and days where they will listen quiet well, but they're fun to have around. The dog in my picture is the one I refer to as a wookie, if you've heard Chewbacca's growl from Starwars, you know the growl from my dog pretty well."

I heard that you spent your vactions in South Dakota. Can you tell our readers a little bit about those 2 weeks?
"We never spent previous vacations there before, most of them were down in Florida. Anyways. We had went to South Dakota because my mother had wanted to meet her father for the first time in her life before he passes away as he's currently in his mid 80's. After we had met up and spent a day with him, he had taken us to see the sites which consisted of The Badlands, Wall Drug,MT Rushmore, The Corn Palace and the Rushmore caves. It was a great vacation as I got to meet my grandfather for the first time as well as explore the West a bit, but the only thing I hated about the trip was having to sit through 108 degree heat with a broken air conditioner in the van. Despite the broken air conditioning, it was still a great two weeks and I wish that I could only enjoy them over."

What can we expect from you in the future, Kanon?
"I've never been good with answering questions like this, so I'll be honest, only time will tell what lies ahead for me, but For the time being I want to start making this place better, and I'll do my best to do so with a little help from everyone else of course."
