When did you find Newgrounds and why did you join? Why did you choose the username sweet21?
"I found Newgrounds long long ago. When I was around 5 or 6 we had a neighbor, we were all poor as dirt but this kid was the only one with a computer. It was like when you were the first kid on the block with a new console, everyone was excited as hell. We played that shitty version of pinball windows had but he showed us Newgrounds and we played Pico and Nene's interactive suicide. We moved away and for many years I never used a computer again. I eventually forgot about Newgrounds. Later in middle school I was still poor as dirt but I was a gamer, I couldn't buy full price games so I had to rummage through the bargain bin quite alot.
I found Alien Hominid, last copy, $10. The box looked enticing enough and the art looked kinda cool. When I started up the game I recognized the Newgrounds logo, but I couldn't remember why it was so familiar. Oh well, I played the shit out of alien hominid anyway.
And finally, afew more years passed, and I went to a party with boring people. I was too young to stay home alone so my parents just brought me to boring old people parties. And a couple of the jock kids were watching Youtube videos. One of them wanted to show the others 'Queers of war' here on Newgrounds. The tank. THE TANK! I recognized it! HOLY SHIT! Queers of war was hilarious and when everyone left I browsed around. I found all the old games, Picos school, Nene's interactive suicide, and I found new ones, like Gun Run (or whatever it was called) and Mr. happy face. I just browsed every single god damn collection, but was most interested in 'Newgrounds history.' As a result I watched everything Newgrounds stood for at the time. Salad fingers, Dad N' me, Weebl videos, Tankmen, Stampers crap. Plus the website itself was a game, it had a level up system and everything. I had to join, so I did. Don't be fooled by my signup date, I've been here a long time.
My username? It was a placeholder really. I joined a website by the name of Deezer back when I was internet stupid, its exclusive to France now. It was an internet radio basically. I went under the alias 'sweet tooth' but I deleted my profile. I wanted to rejoin but I would lose all my friends. So to get my old friends to recognize me I tried to make a name that was very similar. Sweet21 was born from that. I've grown attached to my name though, it has a decent ring to it. Its my identity now for everything on the internet."

Do you think that you changed over the time you were here, as user, or also in real life?
"Yeah I changed, I was a fucking idiot, holy shit. Old me was an attention whore and a desperate sack of shit, thank god I'm not old me anymore. I made bad jokes and did dumb shit that made people hate me. Now a days im more serious, I have a sense of humor thats kinda sarcastic now and my overall personality is serious. Im genuinely caring, I care about alot things, maybe I care too much. If someones having trouble I cant help but try to ask what it is or see if I can help. Im also too generous, I aint got jack and I still throw money at people if I can. I dont expect anything in return, but I wont refuse a gift. Get my a Steam gift if you have to, if not how about a cup of warm milk and a blowjob? You get a pat on the back if you get that reference."

Are there any other users that you like, and how do they affect you?
"I find Jester to be hilarious. I hung out with TheMajorMel in the NG chat. In fact I like alot of people form the chat, blauwwolkje, Knights, and BloodCoveredWolf were all pretty cool. I've also had some moderate conversations here and there with BrokenPaw, I made some drawings for him once, and I play alot of Left 4 Dead 2 with Wavepad. How do they affect me? I dunno, if they're funny they brighten up my day I suppose."

Are there any users that you would consider enemies or that you just don't like?
sweet21: "Anyone that starts trouble isn't a good user in my book. Trolls are fun, spammers and shit posters are just killjoys."

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 stick mostly to general, its the most entertaining. I visit video games pretty often and clubs & crews for the TF2 crew and Anime club. Someone you should interview isssssssss Jester. Go Kancho all the info out of his ass. Lets see how smart he can get in one interview."

I guess that you have an opinion about the moderators of Newgrounds. Do you think that they do a great job or not?
"They do a good job. I cant comment much about they, they do what they are suppose to and they do what they have to do right. There isn't much criticism I can give and I dont want to jump on any bandwagons. Except the 'Poozy is a bastard' bandwagon, but I admit he still does a decent job."

Would you like to become a moderator on Newgrounds? If so, what kind of moderator?
"I feel like I would make a good mod, im definitely on here long enough to oversee alot of things. I would be a forum mod or something, maybe an audio mod somewhere down the line."

The redesign happened last year. Tell me what you think about it. What do you like and what is not so good?
"I think its great, it looks cool and stuff. It brought a good amount of improvements and definitely makes browsing games and movies easier. What I dont like is the forums still dont have a fucking 'respond without quote' button. In fact there are a couple of simple problems that can probably be fixed rather quickly but they're not getting fixed. Feels like something I can do in the span of an hour and I dicked around with dream weaver once."

You are a supporter of Newgrounds and have bought a good amount of T-shirts in Newgrounds store. What other products would you like to see there? Would you like to see more userpage cusomization options for Newgrounds supporters?
"I would like to see....more shirts. Shirts are cool. Extra options for supporters? Lets not make exclusive things, otherwise people will feel there's a Newgrounds 'premium' and I wouldn't want that. This website is based on equality, lets not destroy that by giving preference to payers."

You are an artist. When did you start drawing? Will you post your art on Newgrounds in the future?
"I drew alot in class when I was young because I would get bored easily and I didn't pay attention to the teacher. I liked drawing and continued to do it. I plan to post my art on Newgrounds but im not good enough for an official piece, so I stick mostly to my art dump. I get feedback there, I dont want to upload until I feel I am good enough to provide quality work."

Every person has secrets. Can you tell one of yours or something else that we didn't know about you yet?
"I dont think there's much to share....Im a furry, I guess that is a secret, but not really since alot of people already knew that. Hmmmmmm something you probably dont know about me is that I am left handed."

What can we expect from you in the future, sweet21?
"You can expect to see me on the forums. I am taking piano and am studying music theory and such. I want to compose music, currently I have Famitracker so I can make chiptunes. I have made some 8-bit covers, like TF2 main theme, lost woods theme, and Terras theme from FF6. After I get good and develop a form a pitch I can begin composing original works. I dont want to upload my covers, they are not my work. I simply played someone else's work. And if I feel truely satisfied with my drawings you will see some of them in the art portal."
