When did you find Newgrounds and why did you join? Why did you choose the username hitman1993?

hitman1993:

"The story of how I found Newgrounds is one of friendship and one of childish ignorance. I was 13 at the time, and my good friend Andre told me he made a series of videos called The KH Chronicles and that I could watch them on Newgrounds. That night, I get on my computer and went on Newgrounds for the first time in my life. I was horrified. The first thing I saw was an adult submission and freaked out, exiting the window. The next day, Andre laughs at me and tells me Newgrounds isn't really about adult content, however it's there. So I gave Newgrounds a second chance. I looked up The KH Chronicles as I had been told and watched them all. I wasn't sure if they were really created by my friend Andre, so I did what any 13 year old boy new to Newgrounds would do. I made an account and left a review. A review which went unanswered. I, of course, later found out those videos weren't really made by my friend. I noticed there was some quality games and movies here, so I kept coming back every once in a while until I eventually was on here everyday. As for why I chose this username, I not entirely sure. It's a username I've never used anywhere else. I guess I just thought it would seem badass at the time."

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

hitman1993:

"Absolutely. You can easily tell by looking at my early reviews and forum posts that I was a dumb kid who didn't know what he was doing. I didn't actually start becoming an active forum poster until around early 2010, three years after my initial sign-up date. Before that, I spent my time here just playing games and leaving reviews, mostly. I sure was missing out."

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

hitman1993:

"First person I think of is Donut. We bonded over a lost PS3 controller charger. See, we were PSN friends but he hadn't been on in while, so I asked why, and he told me he lost his controller charger. Knowing I had an extra, I offered to mail it to him. So I did, and he sent back Just Cause 2 in return. Haven't heard much of him recently. Dosensuppen and I are pretty cool, as well. I think we might be... more than friends. I've also had a few run-ins with Light, he's a cool dude. I used to be friends with HayBayBee. Not sure what she's been doing lately. Other users like me, but I can't quite think of any other friends, per se."

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

hitman1993:

"Rummy0. He is incredibly obnoxious and feels like he has to bash everything I post. That guy gets on my nerves. Bees also doesn't like me for some reason, so I don't like him either. I also don't like anyone who has been picking on me in the chat. Seriously, guys."

What is your opinion about the forums? Is there one forum that you prefer? And is there another forum user that you want to see getting interviewed by me?

hitman1993:

"I love the forums here. I tend to stick around General most of the time, while going into Video Games as well. I also used to post in the Metal Hell, but I stopped hanging out there eventually. Not sure why. Newgrounds just seems more mature than other sites I've been to. Yeah, we have our fun with our cock jokes and whatnot, but this is the kind of place where if you post asking for advice, you'll actually get it. As for other users to interview, I'm surprised you haven't gotten Manly-Chicken yet. Yeah, him."

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

hitman1993:

"I do, actually. I think they all do their jobs well. Any time I've been banned, it's been pretty reasonable and I can't say I've really seen any abuse of power. Other users may disagree, but they're probably just butthurt."

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

hitman1993:

"As cool as that would be, I don't think I would do a good job. I'm not on here as much as I used to be, for one thing, so I wouldn't be able to spend much time doing my job. However, if I were to be a mod, I'd like to be a forum mod. Everyone loves a forum mod."

You were a member before the Redesign 2007. Tell me how you experienced that time as Newgrounds user. What changes did you like the most?

hitman1993:

"Even though I did sign up before the 2007 redesign, I wasn't around here all that much before the redesign happened. So honestly, I can't give a whole lot of input here."

The redesign happened this year. Tell me what you think about it. What do you like and what is not so good?

hitman1993:

"It took some getting used to, but I am loving it. Everything Tom and the staff have been working on and changing around the site has been for the better and it's making Newgrounds a better place to be. It was pretty buggy at first, but it's perfect now. One thing I like quite a bit is the notification system, it makes it so much easier to keep up on what my favorite users are doing. Seperating movies and games was another nice change, along with the new video player and BBS video link embed thing. This site just keeps getting better, in my opinion. One thing I've happened to noticed other users having trouble with is the forum search. People seem to not realize the search bar is all in one place now. I like that feature, it's just something I've noticed."

The featureless Newgrounds chat has arrived. What do you think about it? Do you like the chat?

hitman1993:

"I do like it. I usually see the same few people in there, but there's nothing wrong with that. I've made a few friends and a few enemies in there already, but it's always a nice place to go when I don't feel like doing schoolwork anymore. We can chat about whatever we want, quick and easy. It's nice."

Every person has secrets. Can you tell one of yours or something else that we didn't know about you yet?

hitman1993:

"I don't think anyone knows that I'm also a bit of a /b/rother. I will always choose Newgrounds over 4chan, it's just fun to hang out there every once in a while."

What can we expect from you in the future, hitman1993?

hitman1993:

"Most likely the same old stuff. Posting in the BBS, hanging out in the chat, playing games and the like. I've never been able to truly contribute to Newgrounds, but I would absolutely love to at some point. I've always wanted to get the right equipment to record music and put it up here. I'm not the best musician, but with some help from friends and the right tools, I might begin submitting original music. I also tried out the Games Factory 2 a few times when that was first released, but I failed. So don't expect much of anything from me."
