For me it would be option one, three, and four. I originally came here to find out more about why rtil and the star syndicate act the way they are and for Anipedia to help with improving my animation and drawing skills. What about you?

I considered myself a bit of an asshole and i heard this place was made of assholes, so i saw it as the perfect place for me to move too.

came to see if rtil had anything new after I read his "Im Hired" thread. since he was on a proffesional status thought there might be some cool demo reel or something. but instead found alot of shittalkin,  lol,

the talent of a few people here keep me coming back, as they dont post on NG,  (or the art forums, no matter how hard I try to keep them clean)

I posted on the art forum a while ago with a topic named "My shit". It got deleted and I got banned for 3 days if I remember correctly. There was nothing offensive in the topic besides a halloween pumpkin licking a dildo (which isn't really offensive).
Ever since that happened I stopped to post there.

lol, if it was garbage it was offensive  :-p

typically I don't ban for garbage so it probably wasn't me, but yeah if ya aint gonna try then dont bother.  we dont want a dumping ground.. not  yet anyways.

I grew sick of the plagueful art forum on NG, so i fled. And i got curious after zekey mentioned rtils name while we were talking about some competition. I mean, i already knew who rtil was back in 2006, but i really never cared until i saw metropolis circuit, when i realized his true potential. He turned out to be inspirational to me. Not that i got here because of his fame lmao no way. I just got interested in the artistic vibe that i was sensing in the air.

And after swain told me how much he was talked down at here, thats when i got REALLY curious. Also i became more attracted to the SS as i watched more of their flashes, and i realized i actually share many interests with them. And i needed a new and interesting place to settle down at after leaving the art forum. A place where i could be more open. The backalleys proved to be such a place for me. Despite some people here who already dislike me who ive tried to get along with, im doing good here.

Well Rtil 10ed a movie of mine that got RCP before I knew him. So then I realized he was the guy who made "Say Something" and I thought that was a pretty great movie.

After getting deleted from the SS for the first time, I watched Flash Comedy Extraveganza and I decided to check out this website. And uhh thats what happened!

I saw rtil's sheezyart page and after watching him for a while thinking his art is really great, I ended up checking his site out. Eventually I joined the forums.

^Lol

Umm after watchin Rtil's first Freetown flash on Newgrounds. I messaged him telling him about an inspired character I had after watching it. Thats where grinachi came from. then looking at the freetown flash it said something about wanting to learn flash and took me to anipedia (I actually signed up there first) From there I found the link to TBA and joined...

Post by: shittyfurryass on May 9, 2008 09:08 PM
it was either because someone told me to sign up, i closed furfag and found this through the star syndicate, or almost everyone of my buddies hated rtil and curiosity got the best of me.   I think it was the latter since it was shortly after the revrent/monkeykingneo stage

I ended up here 'cause of Metropolis Circuit. I got bored one night and decided to look at it, 'cause the name was interesting. Then I was like OMG I have to tell this person that he's great, so I got his AIM and went to his site that night, and here I am. I saw Say Something probably a year before too, but MC's what really got me interested.

I ended up in here because I wanted the song rtil used for the smileys flash.

Then months later, I realized " hey this place is pretty cool"
and so I stayed.

I was a fan of Rtil's work, and we had talked a number of times. So I joined but never posted month. Zekey and I had become friends and I decided the stop by and check out his image macros and stayed so I could make joke posts to upset people and laugh here in my underwear while some idiot rages because I said Dragonforce was terrible and had no technique. Which is true.

I lurked quite a while ago but never joined because the whole forums seemed to be nothing but anigen/jeb/taylor/gost bitching and arguing in damn near every thread.
Then someone made a topic about me, and I hate that kind of shit, so I joined. The End.

hahah, I feel so special being quoted lately.
I even made it into to at least two signatures!!!
I actually did follow anigen here(from some anti-wonchop sheezy submission). when I want to write anigen's name I always just use the n word instead!
