In my case, I lurked from about the end of '05 to mid '06 (everything from back then is really foggy) at both PT and MFGG. I saw Dazz rise to power and watch tSR update more frequently while MFGG slowed down. I never sprited in this time, just watched and lurked. I watched as all the new people grew better and better at spriting, and by early/mid '09 I started spriting. I signed up at PixelxCore, as I figured I could program a few things and help out in general. About a week later I signed up at MFGG and entered a Sprite Comp, but I just didn't get most of the Disney/TF2/Mario-driven humor so I came to tSR.
