Asandir's interviews with Newgrounds forum users
When did you find Newgrounds and why did you join? Why did you choose the username Bryan?
"I found Newgrounds back in... I think it was 05 or 06. I was in my younger years then so I was attracted to the violence and games, I remember playing some and watching some very violent animations. For example, I remember I liked stick figures killing each other. For example, I remember I used to love the animation Action Escape by Cosmoseth. It appealed to my lust for stick figure violence I had. Well, I had many user accounts before I finally settled on one called "61". 61 was my original username, but I got a name change from Wade Fulp back in 2009. My first newgrounds account got deleted but I made it back in 2006."

Do you think that you changed over the time you were here, as user, or also in real life?
"Well, to be honest I learned that you'll meet people that won't like you and you'll meet people that will. There are some people on this site that don't like me, some for no reason at all and it's taught me that you can't be friends with everybody. I also think it made me more mature, from all the time I've spent on the forums."

Are there any other users that you like, and how do they affect you ?
Well, there's you (Asandir), there's ImaSmartass2 (Who for some reason fell off the face of the Earth or something, I'd like to get a chance to talk him again sometime. There's also a couple more I'd like to name Spirit, powerdude964, kisame, RyanBustersword123, daethdrain, Rivergrey, The-Great-One, mizzjuicyflava, narutoblackman, Ragnarokia, and even Xenomit. I'd just like to give a shoutout to all these people because they have made my time on Newgrounds an especially enjoyable one, and I have enjoyed talking to all of you! I'm sure there's a couple of people I've missed and if I did I'm sorry. <3"

Are there any users that you would consider enemies or that you just don't like?
"Well, there's Yert who is one of the people who hates me for no reason, Sevkat who acts like a dick to me all the time, and Rummy0 who is basically the same as Sevkat. Now, I actually don't completely hate these people. Some of them I actually find amusing ocassionally like Sevkat and Rummy, but they just dislike me so I dislike them back."

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?
"I LOVE the forums. Lol. If it wasn't for the forums I probably wouldn't be here still. I met the majority of my friends on Newgrounds through the forums and I have around 5,500 posts so it's definitely kept me occupied for a while! Haha. Well, I'd have to say either General or Clubs & Crews. Probably Clubs & Crews actually since I haven't been very active on NG recently and the MLP crew is one thread I check on an almost daily basis and it's where I met a lot of my NG friends. I'd like to see either ImaSmartass2 or Spirit interviewed because they're interesting guys and they're people I've talked to quite a bit."

I guess that you have an opinion about the moderators of Newgrounds. Do you think that they do a great job or not?
"Eh... for the most part. I've gotten banned a lot and I mean A LOT by the moderators. If you remember when my account was almost deleted a few months back, then you'll know I wasn't pleased with the moderators. However, if it wasn't for them we wouldn't have the My Little Pony thread in C&C. So, aside from all the stupid bans for "being a douchebag" and whatnot, I think the moderators are doing a good job looking out for the users and generally keeping the forums safe. :)"

Would you like to become a moderator on Newgrounds? If so, what kind of moderator?
"Yes, I would. However I'd have to devote a lot more of my free-time to NG (which I'd be willing to do). Also, a forum moderator of course! I'd try to be fair and not ban people for some of the stupid shit I've gotten banned for in the past."

Finally, finally the redesign is in sight will bring a fresh look to our beloved site. Are you looking forward to it?
"Ah yes. The redesign. Isn't it tomorrow or the day after or something? It's coming soon I believe. Personally, I actually don't like it. I like NG the way it is because it's simple and I feel like the new design is going along with the idea that "less is more" which I don't really believe in. I've gotten used to this one. In fact, I still sort of miss the old design, (circa 05 and 06) but that's mainly just out of nostalgia."

You are 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?
"Ahaha, yes I am. I became a fan of the show after seeing the thread in General the MLP serious discussion thread back in August I became aware of the brony phenomenon and got curious. I looked it up and found it was a "meme". Unlike some of the other people in the thread, I was pretty accepting of them and asked them why they liked it. I was persuaded by Ragnarokia to watch an episode and give my thoughts on it, and I liked it! After that I watched another one and another one, and before I knew it I had watched all 26 episodes of Season 1! I'm actually not sure what I like about the show, maybe it's the innocence, the humor or the cute-factor... but it just has this weird way of making me smile, which I can't exactly explain. That's why I like it. Has being a brony changed my life? Hmm... well I might not go THAT far. However it definitely has changed my way of thinking and some of my tastes. I've also met a lot of friends through the fandom. So, I suppose you could say that."

Do you appreciate the possibility to post about the show in the The Official Mlp:fim Crew thread?
"Yes I do! I was distraught when the MLP serious discussion thread got shut down back in September and I sent my plea to a couple of the moderators to get another thread but have it in C&C and have it with rules that make it more controlled and not just a massive flame war like the old one pretty much was. So, once again, I must thank the moderators for that."

You have submitted 19 flash submissions to Newgrounds over the years. Would you consider yourself a flash artist? Is there a work that you are most proud of?
"Oh. Well, I wouldn't consider myself a flash artist, considering most of that stuff was spam and clock day stuff just made "4 the lulz". However, I might like to get into flash animation some time. No, there is no flash animation I have submitted that I am particularly proud of, unfortunately."

I can remember that you were affected by the Canas incident. How was your reaction to it?
"Yes I was. Well, this was back in August right? Recently after I first became a brony. I remember I had stayed up for 2 days straight because I was on almost an adernaline rush from discovering I was a brony, so I went to sleep. When I woke up late the next morning, I discovered I had a few messages in my inbox. I went to check them and I started freaking out because it said I was PERMANENTLY BANNED FROM WRITING REVIEWS. I checked the forums to see if this had happened to anyone else and sure enough, it did. I was banned at the time so I couldn't post so I messaged a few moderators and got a message back saying that it was being fixed. However, I got unbanned and I got my silver whistle status back up again, and then afterwards I felt like a selfish ass for not even caring that Canas got all of his personal information stolen."

Every person has secrets. Can you tell one of yours or something else that we didn't know about you yet?
"Hmmm... I'm not sure what to say. Well, I guess I'll say I play A LOT of video games. Especially Halo. I play about 30 hours of Halo Reach a week and I'm the rank Noble. My favorite Halo game is Halo 3."

What can we expect from you in the future, Bryan?
"You can expect some more posts, and more activity in the MLP crew thread from me. Also, while on that notion, I'd like to give a shoutout to all my bronies in the MLP crew thread! Love you all <3. Oh, and Asandir, thanks for interviewing me!"
