remember newgrounds? (early 2000s)

[Lucient]

Does anyone remember how cool newgrounds was? Back when you could upload a video, and get a decent amount of views and all the games and stuff?

newgrounds is life

I loved their flash games, indeed.

I second this. Now it's just ♥♥♥♥ jokes after ♥♥♥♥ jokes.

I still peak in, from time to time, as the old guard still seems to be keeping it alive. They tried to expand a bit after Youtube, but it was kind of a losing war.

But good lord. The times I had. The horrors I saw, the amazing games I played. I miss it.

I used to browse it for games in early 2000s

[Linus Hyper]

It was Pico's School that got me into visiting the site in the first place.

I'm actually still on Newgrounds, but only for the fanart.

[Eros]

Yeah, I still remember it, never bothered to stick around it though. I will admit, it had some pretty cool stuff on it.

[Fragile Waters]

Newgrounds was my favorite site, growing up. Hell, I'm playing Hedgehog Launch 2 on it right now.

[HOBO BOB]

God it was a great site.

[Sparse Dunes]

Newgrounds, when you couldn't play Mario because of school.

I just went back after reading this and played some the old flash games I played. Good lord they are awful(well some of them). How the ♥♥♥♥ did I even play these?

Could you tell me some of these horrors. I remember seeing H games there amongst other things.

I remember playing games FROM newgrounds or ON newgrounds, but I never joined the community... I was too young.

I know right? Hell, I used to play Alien Hominid like crazy on Newgrounds before it got released on consoles. The flash version is ♥♥♥♥ compared to console versions, can't believe I loved playing it.
