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

HomicidialFrog:

"I'm pretty sure I found Newgrounds roughly in 2007, though I do remember coming to this site infrequently a long time before then. I never regularly visited the site until 2007 however. Later on in that year I decided to make an account to vote on all my favourite games/movies and what not and maybe even post in the Forums occasionally. Due to how much of an immature idiot I was at 14, I won't even reveal my old account. (You think I'm immature and moronic now? HA! Meet my 14 year self.)

Eventually, I grew incredibly fond of the Clock Crew and ended up making an account called *drumroll* ..."CASHCLOCK!" and joining up at clockcrew.cc. However, a short year later I had produced no flash, despite intending to do so. Truth is, I'm a lazy bastard with no discipline or patience and animation takes a shitload of discipline and patience. The longest animation I ever made with Flash was like 9 seconds long and about 1% complete.

Eventually, a year later I regretted my decision because I realized I'm far too lazy and impatient to make flash animations. I silently left the Clock Crew as silently as I entered. Ah well, no skin off my back. I grew attached to the account and made a few close friends in that year, so I kept using this account. However, I grew sick of the username. People every so often usually commented on my page or PM'ing me and asking why I haven't made a flash but I'm a Clock and I always had to tell them I'm even actually a Clock anymore. It was always the worst every Clock Day.

I also didn't really like being associated with a group I more or less have nothing to do with whatsoever. I kinda felt like being a Clock made some users prejudge me somehow. You could say I was a little self-conscious of having "Clock" in my name.

Eventually, one fateful Clock Day, a few people to my annoyance asked me why I haven't made a flash for Clock Day 2012 and after nearly four years of this crap, I finally asked Wade to change my username to an alias I have often used on other sites. "HomicidalFrog" *epic and dramatic music* *record scratch*...Uh...awkwardly, in my PM to Wade I, by accident, put in a typo and it came out as...well..."HomicidialFrog"...yeah.

How I came up with HomicidalFrog is a mystery. I don't remember, I came up with the name awhile back. I guess I just feel it somehow fits my personality. (AKA Weird and one bad day away from going nuts.) The "Frog" part giving off a "odd" or "weird" aura. (I associate Frogs with weird stuff, for some reason.) The "Homicidal" speaking volumes of my mental instability."

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

HomicidialFrog:

"I like a lot of users. First of all I need to mention my old time buddies who aren't active on the site anymore but are long old time friends of mine: StalkerClock, Capnchaos and RedbartlettLock. I miss the hell out of those guys. :c They pop on and off every so often, at least. :c

Besides that, my NG chat regular buddies are TailsPrower, e-lord, Little-Kinky, TheRadicalOne, BrazilianNinja, Jay, YenMuffin and Knights and many others I'm probably forgetting. ( Sorry to whoever you are :c ) I hang out on the Chat alot and those guys make it a fun place to be! lots of <3 and xoxoxo's to them fellas!

Then there's other folks on this site I'm friends with like RightWingGamer, Halberd, Sectus, SmartyPants, Skaren, Jester, Ragnarokia, beardkiller, Lionelion and many others who I'm probably forgetting too!"

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

HomicidialFrog:

"You're probably sick of hearing this, but honestly: Not really. There are definitely a fair number of people on this site that don't like me (I know, right? Madness!) but meh. I honestly don't care. Sorry if this answer is short. :c"

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?

HomicidialFrog:

"I frequent the Forums alot. The fact is, I love the little community there for some bizarre reason. I guess those idiots/weirdos/outcasts have all grown on me. I mostly use General, there are some funny users on there that make me laugh. I occasionally lurk Politics when I'm in a serious mood (Which trust me, does not happen often.), but I rarely post because the majority of topics are about American politics, so I don't know enough about what's being discussed to take part and instead just read. I also occasionally wander into the Video Games Forum and I post and lurk in the MLP thread in Clubs & Crews alot. As for the interviews, pretty much anyone on that like list who hasn't been interviewed."

The Newgrounds chat was implented in April 2012. Tell me what you like about the chat and where you see place for improvements.

HomicidialFrog:

"I love the Chat, mostly because of the people that go on it regularly. I mean, sure, sometimes annoying 10 year olds pop in, but usually they get banned within 20 minutes of arriving as soon as they get out of hand or admit that they're under 13."

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

HomicidialFrog:

"The BBS mods do an alright job, they're aren't many trolls and spam pretty much doesn't exist. While at the same time, to my knowledge no one's getting banned for pointless reasons so BBS mods can stroke their dicks and feel big. So, yeah. I think the BBS mods are doing a great job and I don't have any complaints. Chat Mods also do a decent job at keeping the 10 year olds, trolls and spammers out. I honestly don't use the Flash or Audio Portal enough to have an opinion on how Portal/Audio mods are doing."

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

HomicidialFrog:

"Honestly, no. Being a moderator doesn't look like much fun. Far too much responsibility and what not for my chaotic mess of a mind to handle."

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

HomicidialFrog:

"Well, the Chat for one is a great much awaited feature. The website also looks alot more modern and sleek and what not. It took me a few days to get used to, but there's alot of improvements. The games and movie portals are much easier to find specific types of games you're looking for. I like how our icons are used in the Forums now too. That's a nice change. Overall, I'm pretty happy with the redesign."

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?

HomicidialFrog:

"Me? A brony? What gave you that clue? :3 I became of a huge fan of MLP just last August when a flash called "My Little Hoagie" came out. A parody of just how easy it is to get your heart stolen by ponies. After watching the animation, I thought to myself "Is it that good? I mean, surely it isn't that brainwashing." and then I remembered the hordes of fanatical fans who treat it like a religion and thought "What the heck?" jumped onto Youtube and typed in these words into the search bar. "My Little Pony Friendship is Magic Season 1 Episode 1.". Within 20 seconds of watching, I was already a mindless convert hailing the pony goddesses. I wouldn't really say it's effected my life in any way, to be honest."

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

HomicidialFrog:

"A few people already know this but among my more radical political beliefs is that I hate democracy with a passion because I think the majority of the human populace is stupid. Therefore, by allowing the majority to make decisions on things far too beyond their tiny brains to comprehend is a silly idea.

"The best argument against democracy is a 5 minute conversation with the average voter." -Winston Churchill.

Also, I'm a British anti-monarchist, I'm very firmly economically right winged (Although somewhat socially centric) and I hate babies because all they do is poop and cry and aren't cute or lovely at all, but are in fact, quite disgusting. Bite me."

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

HomicidialFrog:

"Just the usual. More posts, more time wasted on Chat, more desperate attempts at being funny to impress strangers on the interwebz with my non-existent wit."
