When did you find Newgrounds and why did you join? Why did you choose the username Viper50?
"I found Newgrounds in 2006. It was during school and I saw some people in my class on the site. I remembered the URL and went on when I was able to. I continued to frequent the site til a bit before the 07 redesign when I stopped coming on here for some reason....and in early 2010 I saw my brother on the site again and started coming on here more frequently than before. And in June of that year I decided to make my account. The reason my username is Viper50 is because right before I made my account I bought a new guitar. Which is an ESP LTD Viper-50. So I wanted to see if Viper was available and it wasn't. So I just added the "50" on the end and stayed with that. I was going to try seeing if I could get Viper as a username since the profile hasn't been used since it was made in like....2001 or something but decided I'm okay with it the way it is."
Changed his username to Viper

Do you think that you changed over the time you were here, as user, or also in real life?
"Yeah I suppose I have. When I made my account I was an immature 17 year old. Now I'm an immature 20 year old. Hahaha."

Are there any other users that you like, and how do they affect you?
"Yeah. One of the first people I met on here (who I don't know if I should mention by her username because I'm not 100% sure she'd be "okay" with that). I still talk to her after almost 3 years which absolutely amazes me o.O Other than that I'd say VicariousE, Destrayop, Provoke (now Vnzi), and so on and so forth. As to how they affected me, can't really say. It's nice to have people I can chat with on a regular basis on here."

Are there any users that you would consider enemies or that you just don't like?
"Honestly no. There aren't any users on here I do not like or consider an "enemy". I mean there are some that I probably wouldn't want to talk to extensively but other than that I'm okay with everyone no matter how much of an annoyance they can be to other users."

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 quite like the forums. I pretty much stay on there all day too xD. As for preference I tend to be on General more often than any of the other forums though I also like the C&C Forum. I suppose you could interview VicariousE. He's been a user on here for 12 years."

I guess that you have an opinion about the moderators of Newgrounds. Do you think that they do a great job or not?
"I think they do a great job. Granted I suppose there are a few that don't do much, but other than that I have no problems with any of them."

Would you like to become a moderator on Newgrounds? If so, what kind of moderator?
"Either I don't really care either way. If it happens it happens. But if not it doesn't bug me. Though I suppose if I were to be a mod I'd want to be Forum Mod."

The redesign happened last year. Tell me what you think about it. What do you like and what is not so good?
"I actually like the redesign. Though I can't say I don't miss the previous design since that one was the one I've known the longest (sorry I couldn't really....word that correctly). I like the Newgrounds Social as well as the layout of the user pages. I don't like that the Whistles aren't working the way they used to. I can't think of anything else I don't like at the moment. But I'm pretty sure there is something else...."

Judging from your newsposts, you have pets. How many pets do you have and how important are they to you? Also: do you have a snake, if not would consider getting one in the future?
"I have three cats and two dogs. Well...technically they're my sister's but she likes to say they're mine too. The cats are: a 13 (going on 14) year old black Norwegian Forest Cat, a 10 year old Persian and Maine Coon mix, and some...tabby cat who we was a stray when we got her. The dogs are a stray we picked up and a 2 year old Chihuahua. They all mean a bunch to me. Like if either of the older cats died I'd be unimaginably sad because we've had them since I was a kid and I have yet to find another cat who'd be able to replace them. I do not have a snake. Though I guess I'd be okay with getting one at some point in the future."

You make music. Tell our readers how you started making music and what kind of audio submissions they can expect to see in the future from you.
"I started making music when I got my first guitar when I was I wanna say....14 or 15. I suppose they can expect to see more Metalish audio submissions. But I've slowed down A LOT when it comes to recording stuff. Dunno why, I guess I can't find anything to "inspire" me. Though I still have over 200 audio things on my computer....but none of those are anywhere near okay enough to submit on here. I have a few things I have which I could be submitting right now but I'll probably hold off on that for a bit."

I saw that you have a collection of guitars. Do you have one that you like the most? Is there a guitar that you want to have?
"Lately I suppose I like my red guitar (the Viper-50) the most. I've always wanted either a Fender Jaguar or Mustang. Though I have a list of 100 guitars I'd love to have xD"

You also collect... monster cans. Is there other interesting stuff that you collect?
"No not really. I stopped "collecting" monster cans because my ex decided to bitch about me drinking it -_-"

Every person has secrets. Can you tell one of yours or something else that we didn't know about you yet?
"Can't think of any secrets of mine. I suppose there is the fact I am bi-polar...but thats not really a secret if you talk to me enough."

What can we expect from you in the future, Viper?
"More shitty audio, more bad posting when it comes to the BBS, and I suppose the fact that I intend to be on here for years to come. So...yeah. (dunno if that last thing counts though ( ._.) "

I used to "collect" Mtn Dew.
Only really these, though:
