Oh hey, never thought I'd log on here again, but here I am!

After almost 10 years I've decided to make an appearance here again and post some music that I've written throughout the recent years. There's a few reasons why I've made this decision, with the most determining factor probably being the removal of the usage permission you automatically gave to Flash authors when uploading audio. This often used to be bend way beyond its original idea, as I remember finding my work in games that ended up generating what was probably a decent amount of ad revenue and appearing on commercial sites that barely had anything to do with Newgrounds anymore. I've only heard of a revision to this system one year ago, which already had me considering a bit of a comeback.

The feeling of nostalgia might be the next reason for my comeback. This was mostly sparked by my friends and collegues pftq and Waterflame, who are still actively posting here. We've been travelling around quite a bit and shared a decent amount of experiences from what's been going on around here. In general I met a decent amount of people who I originally met on Newgrounds and always found that I got along well with them, this might have led me to the conclusion that I quite enjoy being around in this community, as in the end, the good experiences that came from this site ended up outweighting the negative ones.

Note that I haven't planned a huge comeback with fireworks and confetti, as I'm active on a few other sites as well. For now I'm going to share a few tracks and see if people enjoy them, all while trying to be around on a somewhat daily base again!

welcome back!! this site is significantly less active than 10 years ago, despite the infrastructure being so much better now...do you keep in contact with any of the old AMS forum members btw (how's that for a nostalgia blast)

Thanks man! I still remember that forum, is it still active at all? Will see about posting more here, seems almost like this site died down completely compared to 10 years ago. O:

nope...the AMS forum officially shut down in late 2011 as far as I remember. It was a nice, small knit community, and even though I only posted there ~100 times or so it does bring back some good memories! wow, can't believe it's been over a decade since I joined. Wish I stuck with music more...I have still been following you over the years (I'm subscribed to you on FaceBook) and it's nice to see that you have gained quite a following and have had some commercial success!

Thanks so much! It's still a fairly overseeable amount of users, but I'm happy that good work is steady! Bummer to hear it completely died, I've always found it hard to find music communities these days, and this one certainly had potential to grow even further! :)

How long until you plan to leave again? You know the last time you complained about the 0-bombing, it hasn't been solved. The NGAP is still terrible. :P

I think the 0-bombing was mostly just a problem for those that really struggled to get seen, so it was mostly just a problem in the beginning. I admit that I don't have a huge following here, especially with 90% of those watchers being dead accounts, but who knows... I mostly just want to have a foot back here, and depending on the reception I'll either post more or less! The main reason for leaving was the signing off rights problem with submitted works here, which is luckily gone now! :)

Welcome Back.

Thanks man!
