Interview with coleknows

Posted by Asandir - November 28th, 2011


Asandir's interviews with Newgrounds forum users

When did you find Newgrounds and why did you join? Why did you choose the username coleknows?

coleknows:

"I found Newgrounds a couple years back during middle school. I mainly went here for the awesome games like Momentum Missile Mayhem. That was like the first game I have ever played on this site. Later, during my freshman year, I decided to go ahead and make an account so I could be updated on all the latest stuff like songs. I posted on the forum like a year later although, I was quite inexperienced on the forum and made myself look like a fool. I adapted to it over time.

Nowadays though, I hardly post anymore mainly because I don't see my favorite users too much. Like Xenomit.

I made music during the time I joined the forum although it really sucked. All I did was just play with sample loops and thats it. I got better over time. For an example, I would probably view one of my really old songs like MHO remix and then compare it to a song like my dnb version of =(Discord)= or =(Magic)=."

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

coleknows:

"As a user, it taught me how to become more mature. I acted like a 6 year old when I first started posting on the forum XD. Later on, I learned how to respond in a more respectful manner. I used to put an one of those emoticons on almost all my posts. Now, I hardly ever do. In real life, im not sure if it changed me much though. If you were to see me in real life, you would see I am still somewhat immature but sweet. I hardly ever swear too but when I do, I do it when I am VERY angry. It's pretty rare."

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

coleknows:

"Probably Xenomit (even though I don't see him anymore), FurryNG, and you although I haven't been on much. I liked Xenomit because of his weird qualities like how he once said he would fap to ANYTHING that was furry related. FurryNG was a good user because he gave me some good support even during my crappy era where I posted shit songs. I returned the favor by emailing equestria daily fluttershine. I somewhat miss him though and wish he would be on more often. Plus, he never continued the collab that me and DJ-Babokon were hoping for. Your a good user because you are very wise and it is hard to break. I have never seen you rage or get frustrated over some insult to you or a comment. I don't know how you do it, but you just do it. I forgot to list him but DJ-Babokon is also a good user because he supports my work despite the fact I use garageband. I hope I can interact with him and learn from him when I get FL studio in December (hopefully)."

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

coleknows:

"I like all users. If a user insults me for being a brony, I don't consider them enemies because everyone has their own opinion on stuff. If you don't like MLP, it is perfectly ok to me. It's not for everyone anyway.

I think Sevkat hates me alot though but I ignore her. She is quite the experience user anyway."

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

coleknows:

"Of course, I think they do a fantastic job. The forum would be filled with so many pointless threads if it wasn't for them. Some of them do like to abuse power sometimes though. Like EyeLovePoozy, I remember he locked my favorite thread which was the drawing request thread. He later unlocked it though, so it's all good. Some abuse it in a very funny way though. I remember JohnnyUtah when he made that hilarious spam thread. I never had so much fun laughing at all the random posts on there. The fourm should occasionally do that everyonce in a while. Just have fun causing absolute chaos."

Would you like to become a moderator on Newgrounds? If so, what kind of moderator?

coleknows:

"Hmmm, maybe. I don't go on that site much anymore. Infact, you were very lucky I got this message you sent me. I could of gotten this like a week later and would of been late. But if I still frequently went on like during my junior year, I would probably be a forum moderator. Some of the threads I see that seem pointless and random sometimes get away with a few pages. Meh, thats my opinion anyway."

The redesign is rumored to happen within the next months, are you looking forward to it? What kind of changes do you want to see?

coleknows:

"I would like to see some changes to the audio portal. I remember when FurryNG got feature on EQ daily, I swore he was going to get weekly top five but no, somehow he didn't. Glad to see his Equestria in Grey song up there though. About dang time he showed up. Forum I think needs a little bit of a change too. Some of the users I have seen occasionally get away with being a total ass and posting random stuff."

Christmas will be there in a few weeks, a special time on Newgrounds. Are you looking forward to experience Christmas on Newgrounds?

coleknows:

"I probably won't be here during christmas. I probably will be busy messing around with FL studio :3 I may drop a song or too though."

You seem to be a fan of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Can you tell our readers how you became a fan and what you like about the show? Has being a brony affected your life?

coleknows:

"I knew you were going to ask about that :3

Surprisingly though, NG was actually the first place i ever heard or seen a reference from the show. It was from Reimagine: THE GAME. When I first saw the little characters on the screen after I cleared the level for Justin Bieber, I wasn't really that curious or knew there origin. I just went meh.

Later on, I became an avid fan of knowyourmeme.com (I no longer am). I read all about it there and I was literally stricken by the fact that male fans were watching a little girls cartoon. I didn't bother watching it until when my anger exploded (because I was seeing references all over the place) when I saw one of my subscriptions posted a bulletin about it saying that all of his friends were favoriting the first episode. I got curious and watched the first episode. I didn't get it at first glance. The only thing that really attracted me was fluttershy but that was it. I stayed away from watching until the first week where I got bored because nothing new was happening on the internet. Most of my subs were busy and Newgrounds was getting boring. So I continued on to the 2nd episode and I just want to say, I very easily could of not been Brony if my freaking Xbox 360 wasn't broken. CURSE YOU MICROSOFT!

Anyway, after I was done with it, I thought it wasn't that bad but I still didn't get it. So I moved on to the next episode and the freaking feeling creeped up to my soul that I was actually...enjoying it. There is more to it but I don't want to go into more detail. I have like 10 paragraphs already, lol. I like the show because of the characters and animation. I have never seen such smooth movement for flash. It impresses me to this day.

It changed me by me being a nicer person and learning to accept that some people are just plain weird and you shouldn't let it bother you, no matter how bizarre it is. You could watch stuff like carebears and scat porn and I would still find you an ok person."

You submitted 54 audio submissions to Newgrounds audio portal. How did you start to make music?

coleknows:

"I first fidgeted with garageband during middle school. It was for a project in one of my classes. I was amazed by its simplistic design and samples. I learned how to use different instruments for samples and how to apply effects. I loved it. I played around with it at least twice a week. I lost interest though during like 8th grade. I gained it back during my junior year of highschool when I sent my laptop to the tech office for them to fix my airport. All they did was update it, not really fixing it. But they accidently gave me all the loops and instruments to garageband. That was when i REALLY had fun.

And now I am on my senior year. I know how to make dnb, Trance, Techno, and even a little Dubstep although this program is not made for it. I also know how to make my own melodies despite not knowing much how to play Piano. My song =(Overdrive)= is an example of this."

Is there a song that you are most proud of? Do you like the audio portal or are there things that could be better?

coleknows:

"More like series. My MLP theme song series I am especially proud of because of all the different genres i tried. =(Magic)= probably has to be my most mastered one and detailed but I personally like =(Kindness)= more because it was for my favorite character :3 The audio portal voting system should be fixed. I remember when i saw F-777 released a new song called Skittles, I was expecting it to make the top five and it somehow didn't sadly. The featured artist thing only shows like dead users to which should be fixed."

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

coleknows:

"Not a whole lot. I may completely ditch this site soon. I only use this to provide download links to my songs I put on Youtube. But it was still nice to partake in this interview. I hope to other users that the redesign will be everything we have hoped for. Heck, it may want me to come back posting again. Small note to Wade, do you think I can get a name change? Coleknows is kind of getting old. I would prefer CK more since it sounds a lot more, I dunno simple and not so silly.

-CK"

Nice interview!
I dont really know who CK is, but I guess thats what the interview's for. :)
Keep up the good work, Ashy.
Also can I call you Ashy? Asandirs way too long... :P

Thank you very much!
And you can call me Ashy :)

Nice interview.

And second :D

Thank you.

Did you manage to get in interview from Rivergrey?

Sadly not. She firstly declined, but she promised that I could interview her when she wins the Rookie of the Year award, which could very well have happened. Maybe the "I miss Yew" award is more suitable. However, sadly no interview with her :'(
Don interviewed her( furry questions):
http://doncarrera.newgrounds.com/
news/post/653356

Whoa. She promised that you could interview her when she wins the rookie of the year award.

My loophole senses are tingling :3

This means that if we nominate and make Rivergrey win the ROTY award, then she'd come back to life so that you could interview her! It doesn't make sense, but it does, because once you promise something you have to see until the end of that promise!

It would be wonderful if it would work like that, yes. I asked her, if she would agree to an interview after winning this award, since it would be kind of madatory for me then, as she would be seen a popular forum member by the others. She then agreed to it :(

Then perhaps it is noble to let her win the award.

It surely would be noble, yes.

Surprised no one complained. I saw i made a few errors too X_X

Sorry, I can't find them all, since my knowledge is limited :(

Never saw me on the forums? Meh, thats ok. I havn't been on alot lately anyway.

Same for me D:

Cool interview! This is better reading material than anything else!

Thank you :3

How did you make your header and picture?

With graphic editing programs :3

Would you mind presenting a few examples?

Of course :
PhotoFiltre
Paint.NET

aSh KetChUm

Indeed.

You just got shout-out-ed. :3

That sounds good :)

Who comes next?
(Nevermind my banner.)

Ericho :)
