To all who come back to this site from time to time to see if anyone has posted anything, how's your life going? I graduated college with a CS degree, and got a job as a developer which I've had for two years. I've somehow avoided getting fired so far, so I suppose I'm doing alright. The two hour one way commute kills me every morning though. How about you folks?

Good mate. Graduated university with a degree in microbiology, got a job working in a lab and now I shitpost in my free time - funny how little has changed really. Part of me wonders if it's worth maybe trying to make a discord server or something, idk? Not sure if we'd even be able to bring back many people.

Hi guys. I am the guy some of you knew as Mega, or Liteice. The guy that had the yellow and blue stick figure characters. Back in the early 2000s, I was an underage kid that had recently gotten hold of the internet. I don't know *why*, but between the internet being totally anonymous then, and my own mind being the way it was, completely unrestrained and wild, I was compelled to create fake personas and do all kinds of idiotic things. I can barely remember my times on Newgrounds and the youthful, idiotic things I did and said there, but I know I lied about myself a lot, and this whole "community" was no different. To the point where I created this fake persona where I had an older brother named Liteice and I was someone named Mega. Again, why? I don't know. Making things up and lying and seeing how people reacted was just fun and engaging. It didn't come from malice, I just wanted a rush of excitement.
I'm posting this to say that I am still alive after all of these years and doing well enough. Life is far from perfect, but I am not in some gutter somewhere, or a grave. This community, from the Newgrounds thread to this forum, taught me that being completely full of shit about yourself online is a bad idea as is acting foolish. I still don't know how in the fuck Balto was stupid enough to make me a mod, even temporarily, but I guess back then doing things for the lulz was in vogue and I was prolific enough to grant that before I disgraced myself.
I'm only really posting this for closure for myself. I haven't spoken to any of you in about ten years and none of you were ever really my friend. I mean, I didn't exactly offer anything that made me a worthwhile friend, so I'm not pointing fingers on that. My point is, this whole thing left a strong impression on me, and after a very long, lengthy amount of silence, I am compelled to say something. For a while I felt bitter over how people were over me, but I realized that, regardless of circumstances, people do not appreciate liars that act like idiots. Nobody is going to see you acting like a fool and then try to mentor you into becoming someone better, especially online. You have to better yourself.
I barely remember all of you and this will be the final time any of you hear for me. I hope you're all doing well and that, even nostalgically, some of you remember me just a little bit fondly, because, deep down, even when I was a bitter and frustrated, confused ten year old, that's how I felt about the rest of you. Oh, and fuck eyelovepoozy and bigbadron or whichever mod killed our original ms paint thread. My memory of 11+ years ago is so fucked that I can't even remember which came first.
Take care, everyone. Have a great life.

I'll say I've been doing fine these past years. As of right now I haven't been doing all too much; just sitting with unemployment during these uncertain times, and streaming video games and the like. I had also been entering a large amount of Smash tournaments before quarantine had started, and I intend to return to that when we're all able to go out again one day. I have relative stability right now, and I'm generally able to keep myself in good spirits, so no sweat here for the most part. I hope everyone else has been keeping well, too!
I've said this before and I'll say it again, it's definitely a bit mellowing that this site just kind of quietly phased away, but at the least, I do have a lot of fond memories of the time we spent here, and on the original Newgrounds thread. And I certainly hope that people feel the same, both about the site and myself. I'll have to apologize if I shoveled out too much teenage angst during my heyday here too though! Anyway for now, I keep up to speed by checking out the new site Des made every once in a while, and I just joined up with their Discord channel, just for the sake of keeping in touch.
(Also Mega, I can't say with certainty because my memory is god-awful, but I absolutely do not remember you being unpleasant to consort with around this site, so I'd say don't worry too much about it.)

Have a great life. Hey uh, I don't really know where to put this, but I've been trying to get into contact with you for ages. You where like, the first friend I made on the internet. If you remember me. I was 'DVC', or Ken, the blue stick figure with green eyes. For better or for worse, your dumb stick figure content has heavily influenced my art and the stuff I write, this is a deleted account, so I don't know if it will reach you, but I've really been wanting to reconnect. If you ever read this, you can add me on steam here; steamcommunity.com/id/sniperjojo/ , or on Discord at HoneyOTU#0219 , I've been searching for you for ages, looking through old newgrounds boards and any semblance of your old usernames anywhere else on the net. If you ever wanna reconnect, I'd love to talk with you. You're basically my internet white whale.
