Asandir's interviews with Newgrounds forum users
Todays interview features not one, not 2, but 3 users! TheDark, SubparTony and Wavepad insisted on getting interviewed together, and so the very first triple interview was created. You will find out what they think about each other and lots of other stuff.

When did you find Newgrounds and why did you join? Why did you choose your username?
"I found Newgrounds back in 2002 . Back then I used to play games and watch certain animations such as the Castle Crasher series and Edd. The biggest reason that I joined is because I was intrigued about the forums and the level up system. The username I chose refers to my personality. No I am not a bad guy if that's what you think. I am quite shy and I don't attract so much attention. I prefer being in the background and having fun with the people I know."
"I discovered Newgrounds about 4-5 years ago. I was searching in the Internet a game in which you could beat up Bin Laden. Then I started playing other games here too. I found Newgrounds a quite interesting site. I have to admit that although my English back then weren't that good, I really liked the ability given to the users of rating submissions and writing reviews. But after few months I got bored and left the site. I still can't remember my old account's username. Anyway, in 2010, when I got a netbook, while searching some webcam games I came over Newgrounds again. I was happy but also disappointed at the same time. Happy that I found this pretty cool site again, disappointed that I had forgotten my username and password. So I decided to make a new one, the one I use now. In this account something I really dislike is my username. When I made it I didn't have many ideas for a username so I used a really simple method to make one; Tony is my name, Par is the first half of my family name and 16 the date of my birthday. I don't like it cause it lacks awesomeness and people keep writing it tonypart16.In my opinion since I first posted in the Newgrounds forums, I have generally changed."
changed his name from tonypar16 to SubparTony
"I found Newgrounds about 2 years ago when I was trying to look for some Sonic and Naruto flash these movies were amazing and funny.And Im saying real people made this not hi- tech people, PEOPLE LIKE US! I wanted an account so I can review some of the flashes, my first username was "darksonicfan7". Back then I NEVER knew anything about stats or submitting stuff to this place.I only knew how to earn medals and writing reviews! I changed my name because Im a musician and Waves are names of parts in a song so I just added "Wave" to my name "Pad" was a random extra part to my name. People like my name and I appreciate that."

Do you think that you changed over the time you were here, as user, or also in real life?
"No I didn't. In real life I am trying to be as nice as I can with all people and not trying to start fights. I am trying to be that kind of person here as well"
" I can say my confidence has been raised slightly over the time because I have found many people having the same ideas with me or have experienced similar to mine situations. For me that was a bit encouraging because now I know that I'm not the only person in the world who has these ideas or have been in this situation. Furthermore, after a while in Newgrounds playing games and watching flash movies, I felt the "need" that I should somehow "offer" in this site. So I think that Newgrounds is the main reason I have become interested in programming (At the beginning because I didn't have a clue about programming I tried animations and art, but eventually I understood that I totally sucked at this).As a user I can see that as the time went by my posts here have improved, but this just a subjective opinion."
"I have changed a lot over the times,when I was here I was clueless I didn't know ANYTHING! I make more sense now and one time on the art portal on a BBS post I put a picture I didn't draw that's how clueless I was! Now I have more allies and friends which is awesome and I trust them all!"

Tell me what you think about the other 2 users of that triple interview.
"Ok then:Wavepad: I met him first time in the forums where he posted something about NBA If I remember correct. I liked his user icon so I asked him from which anime it was. He said it was from South Park and we both laughed ( yeah I know we laughed like hahaha and lol)Wavepad as a character in my opinion is extrovert ,funny , he will always be there to help you and interesting as a person SubparTony: Again I met Tony in the forums. I read a reply he wrote in one post and I found it quite funny. I then pm'ed him telling him that and because we shared the same interests we became friends quite easily SubparTony as a character is definitely funny , interesting and he will be there to help you as well."
"Well, I often speak with TheDark. He is a really great guy and I enjoy talking with him. Something I like to him is his interviews 'cause they are pretty interesting and I can see he puts effort on them. I and WavePad haven't talked much. However I think he is a cool guy, who lacks patience unfortunately (I guess he will understand what I mean)..."
"I don't know that much about SubparTony he looks like a cool guy though.Thedark, however, is one of my best friends on this site, he is a really good artist and he makes interviews too. He helps me with art sometimes. He is a really cool user! And finally I found a person who likes deathnote!"

Are there any other users that you like, and how do they affect you?
"The first user I spoke too was Yesysh who is an artist I saw his drawings and I liked them very much. He first introduced me to the world of Newgrounds and I am happy I had him as a guide. Other users that affected me positively are tox ,Blazejsg ,WiiFittoToreinaa , Asandir and Nor, The-Great-One, Wavepad, ImaTouko-chan ,SubparTony and Protagonist."
"Actually there are many users I recognize by their user icons but can't remember their usernames. Some users who I like and I currently can remember are Protagonist, Skaren and Dean. The former two are funny and good users I really like. They haven't really affected me. Maybe Skaren has a little, 'cause he has made me understand that there is no problem with people who like My Little Pony. I consider Dean a VG expert. After I read what's his experience with games I have to admit I quite impressed. Again, Dean hasn't (yet) affected me somehow. Of course there are a lot more users I like but I just can't remember their usernames write now. "
"There are users that are my friends on this site I already talked about TheDark. Skaren is one of my friends he helps me with a lot of things like my animation, he is a voice actor/additional artist, he is awesome!Same with tox he made my user icon with the background even though they both like My Little Pony they are still my friends! I won't forget gamejunkie and his awesome dog he is one of the smartest users I've ever seen on this site. dx2255 is one of my friends too. I helped him with A LOT of stuff in this site. Oh and my fans are awesome :D!"

Are there any users that you would consider enemies or that you just don't like?
"I don't consider anyone as an enemy I am trying to be as friendly as I can. Some users though like Amaranthus for example think of me as an enemy but I can't find the reason. I agree with the fact that sometimes my posts have bad grammar but Is that a reason for people to consider me as an enemy?"
"Enemies? No, no one. There isn't any reason to have enemies. Besides everyone loves me. There are some users I dislike a bit, but I don't feel any hate about them. Users like Rapacity, Rummy0 or Bees are the ones who, I can say, I dislike. Rapacity is a troll who keeps making threads about religious stuff so it's quite reasonable to dislike him.Rummy0 and Bees are overrated (shitty) posters who are not funny at all. Only reason I dislike them is that they are, as I already said, overrated."
"Well there is one I really hate,alfoo. Just look at his new post! This guy has no respect and hates us for no reason! He hates everyone and everything(including newgrounds).This guy is like the worst artist I have ever seen.LOOK AT THIS!This is the only guy I hate so much,I feel bad for thedarkzero he always gets pushed around by him.Alfoo says shit to his art,and just responds to him with trash talk!THIS USER SHOULD BE BANNED!!!!!"

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?
"Two forums I visit often. One is the General and the other one is Video Games I like them both because they have interesting and most of the times funny posts As for the users I would like you to interview, those users are tox ,WiiFittoToreinaa, ImaTouko-chan and Dean."
"I often lurk at the General, Video Games and Flash forums. In Flash forum you can find really experienced programmers who have helped me a lot and I'm truly grateful to them. In VG forum I have spent quite much time. I like it 'cause it is a place where I can discuss about my favorite "hobby". Of course because in the past I didn't spent much time with Video Games, I'm kind of a noob there. In General Forum I spent most of the time. I like discussing and reading other users opinions and posts. So, as more than 80% of my posts are in the General Forum I think it is pointless to say that I prefer more than the other forums. As for which user I would suggest you take an interview, I recommend you Dean, Protagonist and Skaren."
"The forums are awesome just that some of them are hard to talk about.I go on the general forums a lot its really awesome and they talk about news that some people don't know about. Another person you would have to interview is Skaren he is really awesome.He is also a really musician."

I guess that you have an opinion about the moderators of Newgrounds. Do you think that they do a great job or not?
"Moderators have been chosen to be moderators for a reason They are doing their job great So yes I believe that they are doing their work as it needs to be done."
"Moderators here are just fine. I have no problem with them neither I think they have ever banned without a good reason. I wish sometimes they were active more often so that they can lock/delete some threads faster. But this ain't a problem. Generally I think moderators are doing quite a good job, especially Murray and Auz, who are the best in my opinion."
"Well I wouldn't say they do great job.I would say they do a good job.In my opinion these are one of the best moderatorsMurray, Coop, TurkeyOnAStick they do a really nice job!But some moderators are mean and not fair I went on Scarface's account and this showed.Dude thats messed up."

Would you like to become a moderator on Newgrounds? If so, what kind of moderator?
"Yes I would like to be either a Forum Moderator or a flash moderator in the future."
"Nah, I don't feel like being a moderator (now).After all I'm not that active or experienced and sometimes I find myself surprised as I don't know yet some rules which someone can get banned for. Anyway, if I could be a moderator I would like to be one in BBS. I don't spend much time in the art portal and I've almost never been in the audio portal. As I said I'm not experienced enough to become a moderator."
"Probably not, its a lot of work and you have to be responsible for that probably in a few years when Im ready to do it. Also, I don't really know the BBS rules, so how am I going to be a moderator if I don't know the BBS rules? If I was a moderator I would just not do anything."

The redesign is finally here. Tell me what you think about it. What do you like and what is not so good?
"I made a post about the redesign some time ago for the girl who was smoking on the top right. Because people with different ages visit Newgrounds I believe that small children might be affected by the view But despite that fact I like the redesign a lot."
"In the beginning I wasn't so excited, but I can't say I don't like the redesign. I like the way Newgrounds looks now. What I don't like is that in the forums now we have avatars. I don't know why but it annoys me a bit. Another complaint is that the staff hasn't yet fixed a major feature for the portal, the "flag". Despite all that I don't really have any problem and I'm pretty sure the administrators will fix them soon."
"Its ok it looks a little bit better than before but there a lot of bugs though. There is this one bug at my stats it says for my audio submissions I only have 0 but I have 2.I really like the new fan thing though! Now not only artists/musicians/game designers get fans so yeah thats one good thing. The way you look at the BBS with your icon looks WAY BETTER! It looks way better for the games and movie just to have a screen shot of the game/movie then just an icon."

Every person has secrets. Can you tell one of yours or something else that we didn't know about you yet?
"I prefer keeping my secrets secret."
"I don't really need to keep secrets from the internet. If anyone takes the time to search my posts he will find some secrets I'm ashamed of in real life. However there are of course some details I keep secret because of different reasons. If you insist...I'm 15 years old and I'm still sometimes afraid of meeting ghosts in the dark. It's not a big secret, I know, but you can laugh at me at least."
"When I was 13 (before I went to Newgrounds) I fell down the stairs and broke my left arm (thank god it wasn't my right). So it was a more difficult to play basketball with a broken arm.I also loved playing basketball and soccer. I loved playing sports ever since I was 6."

What can we expect from you in the future?
"More interviews that's for sure. I will keep on posting in the forums and I am preparing something big."
"I don't know. If I decide to make something this summer it will surely be a flash game. Only problem is that I currently don't have any ideas for games. I want to make something original. Let alone my skills in programming are not that great. I just hope I will take the time to finish something even if it is crappy. I just hope I won't spend my whole summer playing games and doing other useless stuff. Anyway, you can expect a flash game from me but don't expect a really good game, although I'll do my best."
"You will probably expect some movies from me well because I finally found a programmer and we are making a movie called "South Park:Newgrounds".You won't see me on the BBS that much. I might also add more audio, so Im really busy.Possibly I might do some more reviews."

Now you are filled with more knowledge about TheDark, SubparTony and Wavepad, dear reader.Feel free to leave a comment here, saying what you think about the interview, requesting users to get interviews is also appreciated. Tune in next week :3

Viper
i dont know why but that seems like it would have been a pain in the ass keeping track of who said what and where and not mixing things up
good interviews though
for all 3 of them
keep up the good work dude
Asandir
It was indeed not easy to take track of the interview and organising it.
Thank you :)
