When did you find Newgrounds and why did you join? Why did you choose the username SansNumbers?
"I found Newgrounds back in like 2006 or some year way back enough to remember that the website looked way different and there were new episodes of TooF and Knox's claymation thing coming out. I don't think I made an account back then, so if I did it's probably gone forever. I remembered that the website existed in 2010 and decided I'd make an account because why not. I chose SansNumbers because it flows well and I don't like using numbers in my username."

Do you think that you changed over the time you were here, as user, or also in real life?
"Absolutely. I've known about Newgrounds for half my life (which is shameful btw. If you have kids please don't give them computers) and a lot can change in eight years, especially one's voice. As a user, though, my posting has remained largely in the same style, just less stupid and 12-year-old-ish."

Are there any other users that you like, and how do they affect you?
"Tateos was the first person I actually talked to on these forums and he's the only notable user to me really, even though he hasn't posted in a while. The rest just kinda blend together."

Are there any users that you would consider enemies or that you just don't like?
"Making enemies on the internet is a really ridiculous thing to do and I haven't done it in years."

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?
"The forums have their ups and downs. For one the topics in General are very accessible but it's just kinda the same stuff. I post there a bunch but to be honest the Politics forum is more of a joy to read. I don't know any users enough to want to know more about them."

I guess that you have an opinion about the moderators of Newgrounds. Do you think that they do a great job or not?
"The moderators here are a lot more robotic than I've come to expect being on other forums, and it's annoying sometimes but 90% of the time they do stay out of the way and let the conversation flow freely."

Would you like to become a moderator on Newgrounds? If so, what kind of moderator?
"No. Being a moderator on the internet is just a workload I am completely disinterested in. I'd rather have fun and good laughs on the internet than spend a whole bunch of time checking to see if people are breaking rules."

The last redesign happened 2012. Tell me what you think about it. What do you like and what is not so good?
"I like the color codedness of the website and splitting off games and movies was a good idea to help people find what they like a bit better. The only thing I really miss from the last design was the level icons were more prominent and gave me a bit more incentive to deposit, which I haven't done in years now."

You make music and also had some audio submissions on Newgrounds in the past. When did you start making music and which music programs do you use? Could you imagine releasing your stuff on Newgrounds (again) in the future?
"I started making music a couple of years ago because I wanted to reach a point where I could make the type of music I enjoyed listening to. I wasn't able to reach that goal, so I just deleted the two submissions I had and whatever other music I published on the internet. Over time, as I've found out more about how the composition process works throughout many genres, especially seeing how musicians manipulate older songs to create something completely new, I've also been interested in gaining the skills to create music from samples and stuff. Only when I start doing that will I start releasing music here. Right now, to make music I just use FL Studio and Little Sound DJ."

Queen is one of your favourite rock bands. Which song and which album do you like the most?
"Innuendo, and Innuendo. There are loads of great songs on the album, it just seems like the whole thing is Freddie Mercury's epic farewell. The song is like a less comical Bohemian Rhapsody and the acoustic part especially is pretty good, even if it's not quite on the level of guitarists like Rodrigo y Gabriela."

Check It Out! with Dr. Steve Brule is one of your favourite tv shows. Tell my readers what the show is all about and why you like it.
"The show is a Tim and Eric spin-off about Dr. Steve Brule who discovers the world in one of the funniest things I have ever seen and the greatest show on television. The amateur-style technical issues all over the show are what really make it so great."

You play The Binding of Isaac sometimes. What aspects of this game do you like the most? Which one is your favourite character? Are you looking forward to the Binding of Isaac: Rebirth?
"The whole randomized aspect that makes you only have a vague idea of what to expect in every playthrough, the short runtime, and the fair-but-insane difficulty is what has me hooked on this game, not to mention the whole juxtaposition of cutesy art with horrifying monsters and (literal) shit. I pick a random character every time to make the run more interesting from the start but I prefer Cain because he's fast and you don't get pills with bad effects. Rebirth is just bound to make the game a lot more awesome and ball-bustingly hard, so I'm looking forward to it."

Every person has secrets. Can you tell one of yours or something else that we didn't know about you yet?
IRL I'm very shy and reserved around strangers, which is probably true of many of the most outspoken folks on the internet."

What can we expect from you in the future, SansNumbers?
"Audio submissions and incorrect, naive assumptions on life and how the world works."

I don't actually know this guy but I dig the comment on Queen's Innuendo.
