I'd rather start fresh because the numbers don't mean much to me. I appreciate each and every person who has clicked the Follow button over time, but I honestly don't think I'll use Newgrounds much anymore. This isn't out of a lack of respect for Newgrounds--I just don't want to make simple Flash videos and browser games anymore if I can help it. Everything I most want to make is too big.
I guess if you leave forwarding internet addresses here and elsewhere, it should be all good.
So your goal is to make a stand-alone type game? For PC or portable formats... or even dare I say consoles?
More or less. I don't know how I'll do it, but I have a few ideas, at least.
Hmmmm... let me help you out with names...

Alright, I'm out of ideas, you're on your own pal.
P.S. if you use any of these names, you better give me credit! >:(
I already have a specific name planned, actually, but I'll admit "Brojon" was on my brainstorming list.
...Bubbles? Lolll
I can accept this. You should do what suits you. But if you do make another website, please put all the games and animations that you made as Jonbro on it. Otherwise it would just be insanely inconvenient.
Dude do whatever makes comfortable as long as your awesome ideas come to be supportors like myself will be happy for whatever you do
hey im new to you even though i played your games a lot as a little kid
well good for u and your transition but i dont see anything wrong with the name jonbro but then again im only11 so. also are u gonna delete your account
I'll keep my old account along with all my animations and games. I'll just sorta keep them in their own category.
People have told me that they don't see anything wrong with the name "JonBro" because it's kinda like "Hasbro", and Hasbro is a big successful company and its name doesn't sound weird. But if I were to make some dark serious game about life and death or something, I don't think a name like JonBro would work very well :P The name I have in mind is a bit more versatile.
Well, I'm totally okay with the name change, heck, at least you have a real username, 'Axxpym' was nothing more than me randomly hitting letters on the keyboard. Afterwards I grew attachd the the name and use if for most of my accounts.
I still have an alias that has stuck with me from when I was 8. Mrpeanut188 doesn't quite represent me in any way.
I think JonBro sounds fine. But don't use the initials (JB). :P
Things I'd buy with the name "JonBro" on it:
>baked beans
>chocolate bars
>peanut butter
>manpons
It's a pretty versatile name.
But if you need a change, turn it into "JonBrah".
...no one says "bro" these days anymore.
Oh, goodness, I wouldn't change my name to JB or JonBrah. The former is easily confused with pop culture and the latter is easily confused with a woman's undergarments. And actually "bro" is used pretty commonly these days, but it's usually in association with PewDiePie's "bro army" on YouTube.
If you like pewdiepie, I think I just lost an enormous amount of respect for you.
I don't. His fanbase is another reason I think it'd be good to change my name.
Oh and another thing, no matter what name you pick, I'm always gonna acknowledge you as Jonbro
I mean, I'd rather you not, but it can't really be helped. People will call me JonBro until the day I die.
That's a daring leap to make my friend! Especially when you'll be starting fresh with a new profile any everything.
I've been thinking a lot myself about moving on from "Goat-Man". It was a name I picked when I was about 14 or 15, and I have just grown out of it. I want something more original and mature. Although I'm having trouble settling on a new moniker. I've actually started crediting myself under my real name, but I'd still like something to go along with that.
I also don't have the courage to start a new account. I'd feel like I was letting go just a little too much. The biggest thing for me is how many projects have me authored as Goat-Man within the movie/game itself.
Best of luck in the future to yourself and whoever you decide to be ;)
You could try keeping the Goat-Man name and modelling it after the legendary monster so it's more hardcore and refined: http://www.monstropedia.org/index .php?title=Goatman
That's probably not what you want to do but it's just an idea :P
Many thanks, Goat-Man. Figuring out who I want to be is still something I'm kinda struggling with. I'm mostly satisfied with who I am right now but I don't feel like it'll last forever, so it's a tricky problem to solve.
I think this is a good idea for you. I mean it's not so much as just starting all over as some people may take it but, more as you're starting a new chapter, same book just a new chapter. I'm pretty sure this is what you are trying to get out to your fans. I think you have seen my comment where i grew up on your games in a way. I do like pewdiepie but, sometimes i cannot take him seriously. As I get older i take him less seriously, so it does not help. I have not watched many of his videos that much. His name is part of the reason but, he's still in a childish state of mind. Unlike you, you're ready to begin that new chapter and take on your role as an adult slowly but firmly. I will continue to follow you on your journey into your new chapter. If I were ever to become a game designer and what not, I'm not trying to be a hypocrite but, I would keep this name. Because not only did i start calling myself this it has sentimental value to me. But I think I have gone long enough on this comment. Whatever your new name is and like you said you already have it decided, I will gladly call you that. Because as much as everyone knows you as JonBro. I think it is, in a way disrespectful. Also like you stated would not be fair to the original JonBro. Just keep on doing what you have to, I'll follow you the whole way.
"Same book, just a new chapter." I like that, it seems like a good way to put it. All your points make sense to me, and I don't think you're a hypocrite for wanting to keep your current name. You might change your mind someday, you might not, but it's not like it's a necessity for everyone to change nicknames in their life. If what works for you now will work for you later, hey, might as well stick with it. Thanks for the support, SuperRican!
Do you still sometimes wear two pair of socks?
Occasionally, although it's summer right now so I haven't really been wearing any socks.
whats your new name going to be
I don't plan on revealing it for a while.
What's the point of all of that? I don't see anything wrong with the name Jonbro. But I'm not you, and if I was in your shoes I might have done the same.
To put it in perspective, if I made some dark, serious, metaphorical short film, and the name attached to it was JonBro, there would be conflicting tones and I doubt as many people would take it as seriously as if I had a more versatile name. I couldn't picture someone named JonBro making a game like LIMBO or directing a film like The King's Speech. Those might be random and somewhat extreme examples but maybe they make some sense.
I'm ok with the name change, i always felt jonbro was immature at this day and age.
Also HI JON.
HI LUIS. I always think about what you told me when I think about changing my name.
I always think of that awkward falling out we had. ;0
Never mind that, we coo'
Asandir
Sounds like good reasoning to me, I wish that you find a name that suits you and your wishes well! I was a bit tempted to only write "Cool story, Bro" as comment ^^
