I mean, this is it. Maybe I'm mistaken, but at this point, I probably fade for good. If so, I regret not leaving behind more about my time and impressions.
About the early day forums. The anarchy and how important they were. The crazy few like me who voted every day for no good reason, to get XP.
The transition to Flash becoming so big.
The rise and then fall and rise and fall again of the adult adds.
The ups and downs.
Maybe one day I'll be able to provide some of the above. I've been here long enough that it's the one thing I can really contribute.
But, as for now, I won't be able to vote regularly any more. And don't plan to. Life has come. And now, unless I'm mistaken (I could be, life is strange sometimes), I must fade from NG. More or less quickly.
It's been good and bad.

Hey Vert, I remember you taking the time to write out a lengthy review on one of my earliest cartoons (unfortunately it doesn't exist anymore, since I was embarrassed of the toon lol) but you provided genuine feedback to a person just starting out and didn't have to, and I remembered that. I believe that was in 2013. Because of that I was able to improve, and I made several cartoons which led to me being able to go to Pico Day and meeting so many awesome people in the Newgrounds community.
Being around is better than not, no matter how little of an impact you think you may have on the world. So I hope you're able to stick around.

Thanks for that! I really appreciate you taking the time to reach out like that, it definitely makes me feel much happier that I may have had a positive impact like that. I do, in fact, remember leaving a review for a movie of yours (your name, for one thing, is far too memorable).
And per the above, I'll see what is possible.
