To be honest, I joined mostly because it really felt like my spriting skills outgrew the kind of advice i could get elsewhere... and then I guess I expected to get walls of text telling me all the things wrong with all my stuff. Since, it's helpful for me to have to sort through it for stuff I could use.

I never quite got what I wanted, but it's nice enough here (might be why I didn't get what I was expecting), and I learn so much just lurking in the pixel art, game dev, and game discussion sections. There's plenty of insight into things I never knew I'd have to pay attention to here, so it's a great place ot learn.

Still too uneasy about this place to post my mm7(ish) sprites though.

(and many of the other sections kind of scare me)

I joined because Pixeltendo.

after being on dA for a while, i wanted to get better. at the time, i was underage to join the forums/anything else on the internet, but i didnt let that stop me. after stumbling across tsr as a 10 year old, i decided i wanted to get compliments from here as well. but of course, that didnt turn out well. i think i didnt come back until a year later. i began learning the communities jokes and users and had lots of fun with it. i remember i started knowing most of you guys by having a skype. i think gors persuaded me and virt into getting one. that was also lots of fun too.

id like to thank those who put up with me through these years. i apologize for not telling you guys about my underage-ness. i really didnt want to leave this community. i looked up to a lot of users here, especially gorsal and i wouldve never expected to become his friend back then!

thank you all C:

Banned.

I was originally a big baby on "Prixeltendo", then tSR and Pixeltendo split up so I came here and still acted like a baby, then eventually I got banned when people told me to do things because I wanted to fit in. Later on after all that shit happened (like I think it was at least a year or two) I was pardoned and then I started being a valuable member of the community.

I don't consider myself a great example to be followed. I have many problems and many drawbacks that should be avoided by everyone. However, I acknowledge that I made a difference in others' lives, not only here, but in other internet places and irl, that I couldn't say anything other than 'thank you'. A COMMUNity is what the name says, it's a place where people with COMMON thoughts and preferences gather, and like a bunch of rough pebbles, they chisel each other in order to become precious gems. That is what makes communities a beautiful thing.

Having others' eyes watching you: be it doing a project, sharing thoughts or even just trash-talking, is a good way to get better as a person. We exchange experiences here, both art techniques and valuable life tips. I consider some of you the best friends one person could have and just like you admire me, I look to the sky sometimes and think about how every one of you have helped forming my current self.

I am sorry for not talking much with some of you guys and girls; life sucks sometimes and there are priorities to take care of. But good friends are good friends and I'll be here to exchange a thought or two whenever you feel like it.

oh my god STEPHANIE
I still remember that thread
the jealousy

Jordan, dude!

Actually that's not true. I made these forums on my own accord, and Jordon stopped running Pixeltendo because of the lack of people hanging around as a result. I was sick of the attitude that people had and the sour reputation it help.. As well as the inability to really have the forum interact with the site.

I still remember when Jordan, you're not gay.

I miss being simple.

LOOL^ What IS this!?

ah, good to know i totally fucked that up as opposed to just a little

i'm pretty sure jordan didn't originally run pixeltendo and it was someone else. :/ but yeah - either/or the creation of the TSR forums eventually caused PT to die. i couldn't really remember whether PT died first or TSR started first but oh well whatever

Oh, yeah, Pixeltendo was started out by Bacon. But he left because he lost interest and handed it over to Jordan.
I forget the first board's name, but it then became Ninsprites, then PT.

"Aussie Nintendo" I believe.

I was invited by Bacon to come submit my crappy sprites to his new site Ninsprites. That was back in 2001 I believe. 13 years ago! I've seen so much change, so much drama, fun, disaster, hope, love, hate, life, and even death.

I don't know how to feel about all of it. I never did. That was my ultimate dilemma.

This has been going on for a really long time hasn't it?

Since you posted, Psychospacecow, I'm actually quite interested in the circumstances that bright you to this web site in the first place. Would you mind sharing them?
