Newgrounds was the first website I sunk a lot of time into as a kid (other than Neopets or Adventure Questor Homestarrunner). It was the first place that showd how the internet gives creative freedom to anyone willing to make something and post it. When I was a kid, all we had was a dial up connection, so it would take so long for some of the .swf files to load on the family computer. Remember when everyone had a family computer? Sometimes in a specific room? I always associate Newgrounds and flash cartoons/games with that time. In an age where people are getting either censored or "cancelled", it's good to see Newgrouns still around as a bastion of freedom of expression.
Here's to another year of Newgrounds Shenanigans!
I posted this here on Newgrounds and on my IG thingy
