Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

...not that anyone will really notice, given my current activity levels. I had a brief spurt of activity a short while ago, but basically my interest levels in NG have waned recently. I've been barely active as a BBS mod or poster, I haven't been on the Flash portal for weeks/months, and although I've been regularly clearing the AP pending list, the two weeks' enforced internet absence (see previous News Post) gives me a good excuse to try and cut down the amount of time I spend in front of the PC.

I have to thank Tom/NG for the inspiration to start making games, and the exposure. I have to thank the community for accepting me, as an older user, and giving me a great time here - from my first submission, 7 Kisses, through my statwhore time up to EGSC and beyond in Wi/Ht, to the great community we had going with Inglor, liam & co in the Flash forum - from the Star Syndicate fun, to drunken ranting threads in General - from being there with James at the creation of the Audio Forum, to the excitement of the redesign... it's been a blast, and although I'm not going to mention names due to fear of missing out vital ones, I'd like to thank ALL of you for making my time here so enjoyable and fun.

I requested that Tom de-BBS-mod me, although I will remain as an audio mod for the moment

I may well be back at some point in the future, but I feel it only fair that I should let those who know me into what's going on, why I haven't been around much, and why I'm not likely to be around much for a while.

Keep well and stay happy :)

See you anon

Cheers

Bob (Denvish)

man to bad your leaving, i mean you worked that hard and your just gonna let it go, and hey this is a teenager who just signed up 9 weeks ago. Well... hope you find something perductive.

Oct. 8, 2007 | 1:32 AM TheCriminalDuder says:

That really sucks... Despite not being active your a huge figure in the NG Community. Having you gone sucks more then Paris Hilton on Saterday night.
But seriously... This really bums me out.
What are you going to do though in all that non-NG time?

Oct. 8, 2007 | 1:46 AM FIGMENTUM says:

fuck you you're not my dad you just root my mother sometimes it's not the same so fuck off

That .gif is very relative!

Oct. 8, 2007 | 3:00 AM ShortMonkey says:

I understand entirely... I'm surprised you stuck so long but NG only interests people for a matter of time. Thanks for everything you contributed on NG and hope to see you come back for short visits every hour and then.

Oct. 8, 2007 | 3:03 AM Vengeance says:

You will be very dearly missed.

Oct. 8, 2007 | 4:43 AM BritishMoose says:

That doesn't mean you excuse you from the next UK meet! I'm onto you, Denvish!

Take it easy, Mr. Bob, we wish you well irl.

OMG THAT GIF SEZ PORN LOLOLOLOLOLOLOMGOLOLOLOL!!!!11111!

Oct. 8, 2007 | 11:48 AM Luis says:

sometimes a hiatus is in order.. sounds like you had alot going on in your life anyway so its cool to be able to step away.. HOWEVER i fully expect you to be back... NG is like herpes, it may go away for a little bit but it eventually comes back around... anyway take care of your shit.. i think youre a great asset to the community wether you post once a year or eight times a day.. i think that you should definately not totally let go of us.

Dec. 1, 2007 | 3:44 PM Denvish responds:

Oh, I'll be back, whether full or part time, I expect. I needed a break, and what with moving house and having crappy internet, it's been longer than expected, but also a relief. I'm sure once I get broadband there'll be a time when I'm back on NG more regularly. I do miss it and am proud to wear one of my NG shirts pretty much every day of the week

Oct. 8, 2007 | 12:25 PM citricsquid says:

Aww Denvish :(

Oct. 8, 2007 | 1:59 PM Rucklo says:

Best of luck, Daddy D! Do pop by and say "hi" on occation, and I'll have the milk and cookies all set up for ya! :)

Oct. 8, 2007 | 2:00 PM LJCoffee says:

Thanks for everything you've done Denvish. You've done a great job even if it was thankless a lot of the time. As one of the AF regs, I'll speak for all of us by saying that we wish you the best and hope that you'll decide to pop in on us at some point in the future to say hi.

Take it easy!

Oct. 8, 2007 | 2:02 PM Rig says:

I don't know you, and you don't know me, but I've seen your positive impact around the site. Good luck, and happy trails!

Oct. 8, 2007 | 2:28 PM VintageBro says:

You will be missed Denvish.

Oct. 8, 2007 | 2:37 PM Greeksta-69 says:

This is truly a sad day :'(

Good luck with everything.

Oct. 8, 2007 | 2:41 PM Depredation says:

Damn, i'm sad to see you go man :(. I've not been around for aslong as you, but you were my first flash influence, i saw your API games and it really got me thinking about programming.

You've been, and still are a true asset to the forums and this site, t'is sad to see you go :'(.

Goodbye denvish.

Oct. 8, 2007 | 3:09 PM ZENON says:

Bye audio forum God :(

Oct. 8, 2007 | 3:43 PM Rudy says:

As the father of the Newgrounds Uploader, in which branched into something far unexpected and known, I understand why it's nearly time to say goodbye to the community.

I'm sure you'll stop by every now and than, you'll have too. It's an addition. Really. I hope everything goes well for you. And good luck in the future.

We'll all love you, and this will always be your second home. <3

Oct. 8, 2007 | 6:19 PM DarKsidE555 says:

LEAVE!! >:(

And come back later, you hear me!? ;)

Gonna miss you Papa Bear. Take care! <3

Oct. 8, 2007 | 9:14 PM 23450 says:

To bad to hear it. But, i see where your geting at. My interest has been dwindling, even though i'd love to stay, somtimes you just gotta move on i guess. Good luck.

Oct. 8, 2007 | 9:55 PM ReNaeNae says:

I AM SAD!!!! :'(

Best of luck with everything tho!

Oct. 9, 2007 | 6:53 AM JarrodK says:

You'll be missed Denvish, thanks for everything! If it wasn't for AS:Main, I would never have even touched the Actions panel.

And now you wish you never had.... ;P

Oct. 10, 2007 | 8:49 AM smicothegreat says:

NNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! DON'T DO IT, DON'T GO INTO THE LIGHT, IT WILL BURN!!!!!!!!! (translation:don't go we need you here, i don't know you but you really shouldn't leave, but if you go can i have your password and stuff, and the sun will hurt your eyes)

Oct. 10, 2007 | 3:24 PM Mogly says:

GOODBYE

Dec. 1, 2007 | 3:42 PM Denvish responds:

BYE THEN

Oct. 10, 2007 | 3:27 PM David says:

It is a shame that you are leaving I suppose. I never talked to you a single time, but that is alright. I won't miss you at all, but I'm sure many people will. Good luck to you. Your involvement with this site will not go unremembered.

Oct. 10, 2007 | 8:17 PM The-Swain says:

I think you're justified in not wanting to stick around just for the sake of sticking around. But bearing that in mind, it would be equally silly to avoid NG just for the sake of avoiding it. You've given plenty to this site, and I'm sure it'll be here for you if you ever come back.

Hope this as well as all future decisions work out for the best! :)

you helped me alot on the bbs thax for it

Oct. 15, 2007 | 8:43 PM blamninja1 says:

We'll miss you, Denvish. You were the inspiration for the name''blamninja1'', as I saw that by a large margin you lead Newgrounds in blams. Some people may be relieved that you are retiring, but I appreciate what you have done for Newgrounds, and I salute you.

Oct. 16, 2007 | 10:14 PM MERFdaCOW says:

NOOOOOOO! WHY!? WHY?

Oct. 18, 2007 | 7:02 PM MetalDart says:

Im going to miss you so much Bob. :(

I hope you become active again one day. :(

Dec. 1, 2007 | 3:41 PM Denvish responds:

I probably will :)

Oct. 18, 2007 | 7:23 PM firemario1 says:

We will miss you. <3

Oct. 18, 2007 | 11:13 PM Greth-of-destruction says:

You know that all of us on NG love you, so why leave? You'll just make us all sad, I actually felt a little bit of... I'm not sure what it's called, but it feels like someone is stabbing a needle in your crotch. Thousands of times. Like I said above, you know that we all love you, why leave?

Think about that before you decide to go, Denvish.

-GOD

Dec. 1, 2007 | 3:40 PM Denvish responds:

I'm away for RL reasons, nothing to do with how I feel about NG or its users. NG is what helped get me the job that allowed me to work from home, thereby allowing me to spend more time with my kids and move wherever in the country I wanted. I'll always remember that and when I feel I can spare the time, and have a decent internet connection, I'll be back I expect. I do miss the BBS, and I do miss making Flash/audio, but I just don't have the time or energy currently.

Oct. 18, 2007 | 11:16 PM Greth-of-destruction says:

By the way, Trig1, it says L8RZ. Although, as your mind is most likely perverse you see the word porn. Another mind trick before you go eh Bob?

Oct. 19, 2007 | 1:35 PM WishStar says:

Can I have your account then?

Oct. 20, 2007 | 9:14 AM Phantom says:

Among others, I don't know you really but it would be sad to see such a land-mark of NG leave, although we understand, hopefully there will be a new generation of users like you that will contribute to NG.

Also, lol at anyone asking for the account :P

Oct. 20, 2007 | 10:33 AM RSQViper says:

Well, take it easy, man. The end of NG isn't the end of your life, but I can totally understand how you're feeling.

Thanks for the toons and the movies during your stay!

Oct. 21, 2007 | 1:12 AM Chronamut says:

oh denvish - I feared this day would come.

It can be argued that I was your biggest supporter - I loved you the most out of ALL these .. people.. hehe. For us audio musicians you were OUR mod - you took care of us. And altho I am slightly resentful that rucklo has been nominated to take your place for that role - I am also glad that ew.. werent left.. modless.. >_>.. along with all the wonderful new audio and review mods they seem to have nominated.

I'll miss you man - I'll try and keep tabs with you and see how you are doing - I knew your life was gettng more hectic and was happy when it seemed you might return. You were like a dad to me hehe :)

good luck wherever your future brings you! ^^

your friend,

-shawn-

Oct. 21, 2007 | 11:51 AM Zendra says:

God, why?!
Take it easy, Bob.

Hope to see you back again!

Oct. 22, 2007 | 8:58 PM Jake says:

Why are all my favorite mods having their powers taken away? :(

Have fun, my friend. You will be missed. <3

Oct. 23, 2007 | 10:14 PM Eltelelel says:

I will miss you, even though i didnt knwo you that well, i remember you as one of the mods who were on when no other mods were on. There are a set number of forum mods that are lurking in the forums when no other mods are on. So, what will you do with your life?

Oct. 25, 2007 | 1:21 PM VeinDigger says:

ARR AYE PEE DENVUSH.

Read the FAQ

Nov. 15, 2007 | 2:52 AM Lotus says:

I didn't really ever talk to you, nor did I know you but with the majority of the good BBS users going away, it sucks to see yet another part from us.

I do hope you return seeing you has a positive impant on Newgrounds and all, but if you don't then its understandable.

I, myself, left for quite some time, only to return sparingly and while Newgrounds is awesome and all, I do know what its like to be consumed with something and then feel also what its liked to finally get away and have some alone time.

Well, I hope its good for you man, do your own thing and come back if you see fit, but know that if you don't and you never see this comment, then it could be for the best.

Take it easy.

Nov. 16, 2007 | 12:09 AM SeeInTheDark says:

Goodbye, and good luck. You've done so much for us, and you'll always be a part of it... no matter what...

Nov. 17, 2007 | 1:36 AM Punk54 says:

We'll be thinking about you, dude..

Nov. 18, 2007 | 10:35 PM Smartdog says:

I never really knew you, and right when I truly see who you are you're gone... But people come and go, things change. We can't have the same users lurking around here forever. It's sad, but it's good to see people moving on. I think newer users like me will sometime make a difference like you did, and they will strive to be like you and other well known, retiring users.

Gah, you probably won't even read this, but I just think I need to right it. As much as people think NG's is falling apart, it's just beginning. Good bye Bob.

Dec. 1, 2007 | 3:36 PM Denvish responds:

I'D LIKE TO KNOW YOUR PANTS

Nov. 22, 2007 | 9:55 PM PinballWizard976 says:

Really REALLY sucks your leaving dude. That Newgrounds Log; that thing is awesome and really helps everyone with their stats. Why do only good users quit? Why don't all the 13-year old jackasses leave and people like you stay? Damn, that's annoying.

Dec. 1, 2007 | 3:36 PM Denvish responds:

Sheesh, NGLog is Casualty's baby, I just let him host it on my domain. I've had virtually nothing to do with the actual site coding. Also, all 13-year-olds grow up and mature, eventually, and the ones that stick around will be the ones worth knowing

Dec. 14, 2007 | 1:47 AM Kanadian-Keith says:

every great person has taken a break from what they do, this is no exception, you'll be missed but we all know that one day you'll make your triumphant return and we will still be worshipping you. I think Tom should give you the BBS boards considering how much actionscript related topics you prevented all because of your genuis thinking. You've also released some great stuff that will be watched and played untill we dream about playing it and even then, I doubt we will be able to stop. I hope everything that you're doing works out for you. Stay safe and enjoy life. :D

Dec. 18, 2007 | 11:16 AM Slightly-Crazy-Dude says:

Aww shite. All the decent mods are leaving and Michael tells me there's now no mods in Wi/Ht? Hope everything is fine on your side of the border even though it's smells distinctively like shit and beer in England.

All the best Bob, gone (for a while) but not (never) forgotten.

And since you requested your demodding, you don't get in the REALLY cool demod gang.

I wish you many great successes in your future endeavors! Oh, yeah... about that "gray bush" comment... I'm really not that far behind you in years, so STRIKE THAT ONE!

P.s. "Yeah... whatever everybody else said below me, goes for me also! Even the crazy demented... I mean, especially the crazy demented stuff! Yeah..." Laterz...

Why is it that you want to be dis-modded?
Maybe you haven't been in here for a while, but I mean, we need nice moderators out there, so there is a balance... cause some are fucking morons in my opinion, but still.

Anyway, nice to ear that your willing to make some flash games !!!
