It's amazing, I never knew this place was called Pixeltendo before hand.
Quite the history indeed.
When I saw this place, it was TSR, and man this place was at the top of the game for having sprite resources.
Back when sprite flash animations were really popular, I would browse these forums to inspire myself, and look up references to self study. That was like 07-09 or something.
I joined in 2010, but felt the community was pretty harsh at the time. Some of the "C+C" that came from people, and directed towards newer "spriters" was complete garbage.
I mean I know most people start off pretty slow, with like edits and recolors, but boy back then, people would tear new butt holes for no reason, and leave nothing to even "C+C" about. =/
Now, from what I've seen, its not soo bad. And I kind of like it that way, cause when people post up honest sprites that they would like feedback on. It makes VGR grow into something better. Not something toxic.
