Thank you for this interview, it helped me to know more about you, and I feel honoured that you mentioned me as one of your favourite users.
Since you posted your story, how you found this site, I though that I could add my story, that I once wrote as reply to a comment of bilalz:
"Good that my fairytale book is still there :)
There was once a person that liked to play games, and one day, he stumbled across one that we call "Toss the Turtle".
As he kept playing it, he realised that he got medals for playing it, and he was very happy about that. Our person, we may keep his name a secret now, visited the site the next day, just to realise that the medals he got were all lost, that made him very sad and he even shed a tear.
As he was sad, he thought to himself: "I want to keep these lovelely badges, how can I do that?"
And he realised that he could indeed join this site, but he was a little bit afraid of it, he thought with fear: "I never joined a site, will the people be nice, are there dangers for me?"
Despite his fear, he still wanted to join and so he thought about an username, because he wanted one that sounds good, so that he could be happy when he sees his name at the upper right corner, and came to the conclusion that "Asandir" would be quite good.
But that´s not the end of Asandir´s travel, in the first months, he didn´t visit the unknown, mystic appearing forums, he thought that people would laugh at him, because his english was not so good, since Asandir was born in a far away country named Germany.
But in late March, he finally began to visit this place more often, he soon realised that this place has alot of nice people and he even found some friends, that meant soon alot to him, namely Gimmick, Suprememessage and bilalz.
And that my friend, is the story how I joined Newgrounds and began to post in the forum :) "

Cool, I probably made my account when looking for games, but can't remember for sure. I actually made my first account on here called ALIEN61 2 years ago, but I forgot the password before I ever properly used it... I have no idea why I didn't make an account soon after, because this is my No. 1 website on the web. And when I did make my current account, for months I didn't go on the forums because I didn't really know what a forum was... Then when I got bored of flashes and music I was clicking randomly and accidentally clicked on the forums. I looked around general but didn't post. Then I got The Games Factory 2 and needed help so I posted in the TGF2 forum and liked typing in the orange box so much that I started posting in the BBS semi-regularly and writing tedious replies to comments on my blog posts. And Toss The Turtle is epic.
PS: Although your comment is longer than mine, it's not tedious because yours was thought out, in storybook style and interesting.
