Hello. My name is Spawner, and I'm an alcoholic a brawler from page 3 of the original Newgrounds thread, over 7 years ago.
I first saw MSPB when I was a shitty little 13 year old. I'm still shitty, but now I'm 20. When I came home from school every day I just to get my ass on the NG thread and spend all night drawing and looking at the new posts until it was bed time. When it was locked, and I was told that this here website got made, I hauled my ass over here immediately for more SPB fun. And this place was better than the thread, because with it's own forum you could do more, it was less cluttered, and felt like more of a tight-knit community of people with similar interests, that is, drawing your dude kicking the shit out of someone else's dude.
For a while, this was great. I spent all day on it still, drawing and fighting and having a good time. Over time, though, people started drawing less, and instead wanted to talk in the off-topic thread more. Drawings happened less frequently, and not really having an interest in just talking off-topic all day, I had less to do. Then, several SPB members all got into a big group chat on MSN, when that was still a thing, and suggested we all play some games. And so, I got Garry's Mod. Me, Swordkill, Virus and Firemario all started playing Gmod together often, across a few different servers, and we found ourselves in a new, friendly, tight-knit community. We all happily played together on this new game as SPB slowly died out. Eventually, even the Gmod communities broke apart, getting resurrected as a new server until ultimately, that too died. I don't have much - if any contact with the people from that server anymore, but me, Swordkill, Virus and Firemario have been all buddies for 7 years, and we're still buddies now, even if we don't talk as much as we used to, I consider them some of my closest friends.
Three years ago, Swordkill made a topic here called "THE YEAR... IS TWO THOUSAND AND SEVEN AD" where we all drew shitty on purpose, the idea being if we draw quick, we can just have some fun without waiting a long time, even though the site was still pretty much dead, I still had some fun. I wasn't into it at first, but I got into it quick, and for a little while it was just like old times again. But it didn't last very long, I enjoyed the wave of nostalgia.
Now, this place is properly dead, and even though posts still happen once in a blue moon, there will come a day when the last person makes the last post, and the site is closed for inactivity.
But hey, nothing lasts forever, and I thank any of you still reading for all the good times.
