As Wax has now posted it on TSGK I thought I'll be the first to say it here. Me, Wax and Dazz have been talking behind closed doors about this for sometime now and I'm unsure just how many people know but here it is...
TSGK will be joining tSR.
When N-finity died, so did his knowledge of how the site worked. And with such complex code being impossible for even some of the best to fully understand talks began soon after I joined TSGK.
So let me announce that TSGK's sprites will be heading to tSR. And thus the biggest, will easily get a whole lot bigger.
In Wax's own words over at TSGK...

Quote:For those of you wondering about the sudden movement and then the sudden lack of movement, explanations are in order. Explanations that are, perhaps, site altering.
For the last two years we've been struggling to keep things moving around here. Every time we just about recover, something goes wrong. Like Goemar joining which somehow caused site-wide interior glitches (through no fault of his own) even though it shouldn't have been a problem.
As a testament to Web's coding skills - I asked a friend of mine who, like Web, has been coding since she first found the internet - and she said that much of the code shouldn't function at all. Bizarre little tricks and coding done in ways that are considered not to be done due to the dangers inherent. What she was saying was, Web was a freaking genius. (We all knew this to be true.)
After much talking between this sites' admin and a certain others, new plans have unfolded.
TSGK is not 'closing,' it is changing. This front page will (in time) be replaced with a new site, a new TSGK which will serve as the new front page home of the N-Fans and the comics portal which once existed on Captainn.net.
The content will remain here as a sort of open-source testament to what Web could do, it will simply not be the first thing you see.
As for new content? We're in the process of (very) slowly sending over everything to our long-standing friends (even if the members didn't know it) at TSR.
So, without further adieu, http://spriters-resource.com/ shall be the new home of TSGK content and updates.
Perhaps someday we'll be able to reinvent the TSGK sprite site again with a new toolset and a new Captain to pilot this vessel. In the meantime, we're going to hand the reigns to someone more capable (Dazz over at TSR) and turn this site into something Web would still be proud of!
As I said, TSGK's sprite website will remain as a moment to Web. (But please stop submitting stuff!)
