I am very glad you asked!
Besides trying to get into college and overcoming my burnout,
I have been reading this recently:
I love this system so much!
It's all I have ever wanted to play!
Oh, right, ask me anything.

I'm starting to feel like I don't have anything really substantial to post/give anymore. Rating art pieces is always cool, I like helping those who work and produce cool art with my morsel of feedback but besides that, I don't really have a reason to stay. Newgrounds used to be my one and only hangout spot, y'know?
It really only took the General BBS to be shut down and for all the sludge we poasted there to be archived for us to notice how everything was already crumbling down. Everyone I know has been caught up in "drama" at least once. Everyone has a reason to hate someone. It was never a good ambient, despite the laughs we had, as sad as it is.
If anyone is, as Tom suggested, starting a BBS offshoot Discord server... Or even better- if anyone already belongs to one... Good luck keepin' it together. There's a reason why they closed General and history is prone to repeating itself.
That's as far as I'll go about General, any other insights you want from me will be reluctantly given if you ask nicely. It pains me to talk trash about people. I hate these ragtag microcelebrity diva scandals and anyone that endorses any sort of online negativity in tightly-knit communities.
As for myself, yeah, I'm still struggling with the things I struggle with, I am trying to figure out what to do when I finish school... Mainly trying to find a college and the means to enter one... I also mostly draw for myself and I don't have an upload schedule, you guys shouldn't expect me to post at all, and yet here I am with almost 300 followers. Thanks for sticking together but you're not really "following" me, are you? We're standing still in the middle of the woods.

As you should have noticed, my page has lost its color (fixed) and I've been inactive for a pretty long time now. I've been incredibly burned out and felt like taking a break. Turns out I'm severely mentally ill. Disassociation and body dismorphia.
I'm back but don't expect much activity. I'll only reach out to the BBS to check the art forums or to join a collab if an interesting one comes up, because I don't really think people want me in the General BBS. I'll also try to post a Sketch Dump every now and then. I don't think I'm ready to go back to digital art yet.
Also, forgive me for these long posts. I haven't really learned to shut up yet.

First off, you can frontpage things four months after they came out? I always thought only recent things could be frontpaged! If so... who even frontpaged me?
Second, why this miserable audio piece? I'm certainly not the audio artist and as you can hear I certainly don't have the talent. Besides, I never ever opened the Audio Portal. I should be the enemy of every musician on this site!
Still... thank you very much, whoever you are.

Greetings, mein varmints.
I am currently recovering from surgery.
The pain is unbearable, it's hard to think, I need to take a whole tablet of pills a day- and to top it all off, I also caught a cold.
I am fine.
I hope you are all fine as well.
I uh I uh just wanted to make it clear what I'm going through, really, is all.
Good riddance? If you have any questions ask away, I am willing to answer all your doubts.

Waiting for me to post art? Well, I kinda have been...
If you haven't seen it, check out this campaign thread I've been running lately- Portugal 2077.
A fantasy, cyberpunk, uh... Well, a smorgasbord of genres all put together in this TERRIBLE voting-based text adventure where you are one of the neurons of a man named U (short for Ulisses). Drop by sometimes and force this idiot to do something.
If you're a programmer looking for something to do, you might want to check this out, too.
