He's actually in his mid-50's. Users faked their age all the time on here.

Tom You Should Be Proud Of This


Club a Seal actually started in 1996 on my dial-up ISP hosting, before I updated it on Drexel hosting and added the Flash menu, which is now broken. It remains the oldest thing on the site.


Also Scrotum the Puppy is entry #1 in Portal but there were a lot of entries in the Portal before it was automated, back when I manually added things. Not all of them were re-uploaded when the system went automated in 2000.

I would have to say Dennis the Phantom Menace Or Tom's old cartoon which was Billy Bo Bob Something Something (lol)


Would've said EvilDave because he's the first to contribute to the original portal as Tom stated, but I couldn't really find anything from him, but I'll take his word for it anyways lol

Many will say Scrotum 1 since it was the first movie published on the Newgrounds Portal. However, Pico's School has been around longer, it just wasn't made a part of the Portal until later. Same with a lot of Tom's submissions.

I'm not so sure, also illwillpress (or however you type his username) isn't that old (he's actually in his mid to late 60's), comparde to the two other users that are actually old (and actually older than him). Also there isn't an achievement to get the title for the oldest NG user...

Wikigrounds states he was born on "April 5th 1976", which would make him 47.

This archive via the Wayback Machine seems to back this up, as it lists him as 31 in Aug 2007.


My theory is tht 84 might've been a bug in the way Newgrounds ticks everyones' ages up.

Possible Newgrounds lost media, then?

The oldest account is most definitely @TomFulp, the founder of the kingdom.

Also, don't erase the quoted text when you reply, or else no one will know what you're replying to.

Have to be. No account can be older than his. Now, is he the oldest user on the site, in real life? Who knows? All we know is that his account is the oldest one. Just have to be.
