If I recall, I joined around the time of ninsprites. I was making an animal crossing fan game in game maker and I wanted to show some of my stuff I think. I think the thing that was my first post was a recolor i did of some MMZ styled samus sheet to Master chief from halo. What keeps me coming back are the faces I remember seeing from being on the forum for years and years. I'm not as active as I used to be but I do still enjoy coming back and seeing how the community is going.
I kind of wish that the spriting community was what it used to be though. A lot of the great pixel artists like badassbill, Frario, 1up, etc., that used to frequent these forums have moved on to bigger and better things. I am very glad for them though. Over my years of being here I've seen a lot of people blossom into doing great things. Tyvon with his game development, frario with his pixel animation for normalboots, BAB(Shane) with DYKGaming. Just seems like the spriters resource has been a great stepping stone for a lot of talent over the years.
