Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

But yeah, I know I pulled this a few months ago, but I seriously think I'm just done with this site aside from the occasional post in NG /a/, this place is awful and I've wasted 2 years of my life posting with complete morons, time that I could have used more wisely, like getting a fucking job or car.

Seriously, the fuck is wrong with some of you people? You're all either bratty pseudo-intellectuals who think they just have life all figured out, or little suck-ups. Why did I waste my time by posting on a forum of a flash site? Better yet, why the fuck is everyone else doing the same? Being a regular of this forum is absolutely pathetic and I regret my time being one as well.

All this place does to me now is constantly rub me the wrong way, I feel that I need to move on with my life instead of wasting it by posting on the Newgrounds forums

I've had good times, and I've met some wonderful people here, but this place is too much for me now. I'm nearly 19 years old, I'm no longer that naive 16 year old who first came here. I was forced to grow up through a handful of bad moments in my life, and this place(I feel) is just holding me back.

I also believe that the mod team has some part in it as to why the BBS is in it's current state, but my problem is more with the userbase, period. I really miss the days of first being here, when I could post in any topic I wanted and had a fun time in reading up on threads. But I can't, those days are gone and now I'm just another jaded user who's grown tired of Newgrounds over the years. You grow up and all of a sudden, the forum part doesn't look so much fun anymore. I don't even watch flash or listen to the audio on here, I don't even know why I came to the forum section in the first place, but I did, and it's been a very odd experience for me. I won't deny that coming here has helped me grow and mature into a more rational and understanding person(as crazy as that sounds!). But I can't learn anything new from staying here, I'm just wasting my time like I said earlier.

Take care, dudes, maybe someday we can have that walk again.

You could always skip on over to Gaia.

May. 29, 2009 | 12:10 PM Mendou responds:

Sure could.

May. 26, 2009 | 12:20 PM Segadroid says:

I've never known you, but it's a shame that people go away just because they've met the wrong people. Avoid the weirdass people who thrive here and give it another shot.
Of course, there are alot of that kind, like Zen444. They're worthless in real-life so they try to make themself happy by acting like a dick on Newgrounds. Just ignore them.

I hope the peptalk worked :P

May. 29, 2009 | 12:12 PM Mendou responds:

No, I've been here for 2 years and like 4 months, I've given it a try long enough. Now fun time is over and I do not enjoy this site anymore.

Also, Zen444 is awesome.

May. 26, 2009 | 3:51 PM Zen444 says:

Hey fag PM me your e-mail again.

May. 29, 2009 | 12:12 PM Mendou responds:

Done.

May. 26, 2009 | 3:52 PM Zen444 says:

PS You retard, me and Mendou are good friends.

May. 29, 2009 | 12:12 PM Mendou responds:

Yes sir.

May. 29, 2009 | 2:09 AM WilliWowza says:

I do not blame you.

May. 29, 2009 | 12:13 PM Mendou responds:

All of it isn't exactly the mods fault, but they're a contribution to it and they don't make things better.

May. 29, 2009 | 9:43 AM kRaZyAzN says:

almost 20 posts a day in the span of over 2 years. I get ya.

I don't mean any offense by this, but I always thought you were a total no-life loser. Sorry. :|

I don't think you're a bad guy by nature though. Well, good luck in whatever aspirations you have in the future.

May. 29, 2009 | 12:14 PM Mendou responds:

I feel much better now.

May. 29, 2009 | 8:53 PM Gagsy says:

Josh, you're awesome, one of fav guys and I love chatting to you. I hope you enjoy wherever you go.

May. 31, 2009 | 3:12 PM Mendou responds:

Thanks Leanne, you were one of those good people that I've managed to meet, we might not see eye to eye on a few things.

But I've talked to you for nearly 2 years, and I won't forget those fun talks we had on MSN or just through blogging.

I pray everything will turn out better for you on your end.

May. 29, 2009 | 11:19 PM JimmySaint says:

Well, groodbye. I never actually talked to you, but you seem to be one of the more intelligent and non-douchebag-ish people on here. Enjoy and good luck with whatever you do.

May. 31, 2009 | 3:13 PM Mendou responds:

Thanks, man.

May. 29, 2009 | 11:26 PM EnconXV says:

I agree with you.

I don't even know why I bother coming here anymore. The only real fun I've had in this site lately has been posting on photoshop threads, but fuck, now every photoshop thread I see is a reason to cry my heart out.

Oh well, I'll be seeing ya. Take care.

May. 31, 2009 | 3:16 PM Mendou responds:

Of course.

May. 30, 2009 | 1:21 AM crapatflash says:

wow... lighten up, fuck...

May. 31, 2009 | 3:17 PM Mendou responds:

Eh, felt like trying to give an explanation as to why I don't like posting here anymore.

May. 30, 2009 | 3:32 AM Shikamarana says:

You were one of my favorite posters. Sad.

May. 31, 2009 | 3:18 PM Mendou responds:

hahaha, thanks .

Sorry to disappoint, but I don't see the point of being here anymore.

May. 30, 2009 | 9:58 AM mo4form says:

You're a self-centered scumbag who exclude himself from people while complaining about them. XD

May. 31, 2009 | 3:18 PM Mendou responds:

Spot on.

May. 30, 2009 | 11:17 AM Metalmittens says:

I just feel i should say this, I know exactly how you feel.

Ive left a forum for the same reason before and i know what you are feeling right now.

My advice is, have a nice life, take a leave from here, and enjoy your life.

Sure alot of people will miss you, sure it seems that the whole site hates you, but keep all your good friends on speed-dial for chats.

you seem like a nice person, maybe someday we could chat or something?

May. 31, 2009 | 3:23 PM Mendou responds:

Sure, hit me up on AIM or Skype if you want.

May. 30, 2009 | 8:02 PM Minion777 says:

Shit sux when you're short :10: bux and you're out of luck as you make your way towards the promise of tomorrow.

May. 31, 2009 | 3:23 PM Mendou responds:

Man, those Acen pictures of yours are awesome.

May. 31, 2009 | 2:24 AM wdonica says:

Wow. Way to take a shit all over my favorite source of entertainment.

May. 31, 2009 | 3:24 PM Mendou responds:

How so?

May. 31, 2009 | 9:43 AM Sawke says:

XD THE IRONY IS YOU'RE COMPLAINING ABOUT WASTING YOUR TIME POSTING IN A POST!!! THATS JUST GOOD STUFF!

May. 31, 2009 | 3:24 PM Mendou responds:

Yep, irony is good stuff.

May. 31, 2009 | 1:17 PM BareNakedMike says:

It sucks to see ya go, I'm sorry that I never really talked to you on MSN either. I don't know why I'm like that. But I hope you're doing well.

May. 31, 2009 | 3:25 PM Mendou responds:

Yeah, I haven't seen you on there in like, forever.

And yeah, I'm doing okay for now.

May. 31, 2009 | 3:16 PM Gendo says:

Forums in general tend to suck, but this place is a nightmare.

Now let's go try and make up for lost time and improve our goddamn lives.

May. 31, 2009 | 3:26 PM Mendou responds:

THOSE WERE THE DAYS OF OUR LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVES

May. 31, 2009 | 4:17 PM Deadly-Shadow says:

Dude, are you seriously leaving? There have been way too many cool users leaving lately, pretty soon there wont even be a reason for me to come here anymore if this keeps up.

Damn, I've spent almost five years here, and now everyone I know is leaving...

May. 31, 2009 | 11:19 PM greensucksbluerules says:

Not only does the state of the forums suck, but the state of the flashes here sucks too.

I did not laugh ONCE at the much hyped Street Fighter collab. But the majority of the idiots here must have considering it has a score of 4.46 out of 5.

OMG IT'S SO FUNNY BECAUSE THEY'RE THROWING UP AND PISSING ON EACH OTHER

Jun. 1, 2009 | 7:15 AM Sawdust says:

Blame Sonic fans

Jun. 6, 2009 | 7:46 PM Midian says:

My thoughts pretty much exactly.

But at least there were some good times.

Jun. 10, 2009 | 9:08 PM Kisuke says:

ah, figured as much. i only deposit my xp these days. aside from posting in the anime and final fantasy club. shit's just not the same and never will be.

NEWGROUNDS MUST BE BIGGER AND BETTER THAN ALL THE REST. BRING EVERYONE IN HERE.

and so it was.
and so we left.

Jun. 18, 2009 | 5:52 PM Dew says:

When you post 18+ a day, this site will do that to you.

All things in moderation, but clearly you have not learned that.

Jun. 18, 2009 | 8:31 PM Mendou responds:

Okay

Damn man, I always thought you were a pretty nice guy, even if you did call me a faggot.

Jun. 28, 2009 | 1:24 PM SouthAsian says:

Well we just lost another regular, this place is losing it's shine.All the people from 05 were what made this place so exciting.Maybe I'm going to send my self off soon.

Jun. 30, 2009 | 12:39 AM knightsofthecircle says:

Jesus Christ man, first Gary and now you? Well good luck to you, I hope you visit once in a while.

Jul. 5, 2009 | 6:21 PM knightsofthecircle says:

Doesn't leaving forever imply you're not coming back?

Jul. 5, 2009 | 6:28 PM Mendou responds:

Yeah, I need to be permabanned, the fuck is wrong with me.
