thats...........the kind of guy you want running your forum. jordan? wheres the initiative?

Actually wasn't it Bacon who founded Ninsprites? He was the one who personally invited me to PT after Nfinity was kind of a dick to me. (no offense to the poor guy) That was 2002!

That makes me one of the longest members here. I've been bugging you guys since the beginning of time heheheh!

I hope Tonberry never stops posting places I go because he's almost the only one here that makes me feel young because he's been around forever. Love you man. You too Koopaul.

I came here a lot during the PT era from late 2004 (I think) until it died. It moved around a lot, but the community usually followed. Expresso Chop also rose up during that time. It was a really entertaining board despite maybe extending superiority complexes and trolling on the main forum.

Sorry I haven't hung out much around here since. The early userbase put me off along with a lot of the regulars leaving. An incident with one of the staff (no longer here) talking down to me after I called them out on what I thought was really childish moderation pissed me off to the point where I finally just left.

Bacon, the guy who inexplicably represented himself as Petey Piranha with arms.

[masquerain... IN 3D!]

I lurked on one of the PT incarnations for a while, then left, mostly because I had a huge crush on Sapphire_Dragon and he told me to go to PT to improve my Pokemon edits.
It was... well, I don't really remember it, other than that I like this forum more!

[Orgasmatron]

i was never on pt

i knew of it but just wasnt a member of even a lurker

Pixeltendo was my first forum. True story.

See we're tossing around dates and stuff, and it's making me feel HELLA old. I was on old PT back when Bacon and Rogulgot and those guys ran the forum. Back when I had no proper internet etiquette. I thought I was top shit, and I got banned more then once. I came back with an alt account and everything.

I never really became a prominent member of Pixeltendo or TSR, dabbling around on Pokemon Forums and starting sprite comic communities here and there. But I always lurk TSR forums. It's gotten so much more chill here, compared to the late pixeltendo/early TSR days. I guess that's people growing up.

also Expresso Chop. and the sequel forum "Moaf". Good times. Met one of my best friends on that forum.

[Koopaul]

Moaf... Wait Moap! Remember Moap?

Those days were when tSR was less about being an actual archive of sprites and more just about me having a website with sprites on it that allowed me to send messages out to the world how I saw fit. Turned out that my messages were just song lyrics, talking crap on the radio and calling Jordan gay.

I enjoyed it, and I miss it - I think I might do a podcast radio show again sometime. I dunno. It's the goal I think.

Yess loosen up bring fridaydays back.

Rofl, thanks.

Fun fact; Bacon and Toadkarter/Teeks started Ninsprites and at first it was just Bacon's rips and customs while Toadkarter made of Mario edits of Chao from Sonic. I was the first outside submitter.

[Koopaul]

Yep they were simpler times. But there were some pretty nasty times too, ugh I was constantly harassed by that Rainbow Vomit and Tyvon... wonder whatever happened to those guys

They probably moved on to other horrible forums while holding hands and hating humanity as a whole. Dumb idiots, I hope they never come back.

We don't have sprite comics and flash movies to support anymore since they've all ended or become irrelevant. Bumping up to models and skins was a good idea. I'd just like to see something like SMBZ come around and make our stuff popular again.

Also, 20 sheets per update back then. Geez.

Its cause I stopped ripping sprites. Of course things are slowing down.. I could have a full update in a couple days.. That was when I had no job and just chilled at home ripping sprites when I was bored as hell..

Lol..

[Joseph Styling]

I also remember how back then an update to the site would take weeks until Dazz started taking care of the business and got other people to help him.

[Dazz]

I basically don't understand the point in running a website that you don't do anything to regularly... It's like turning up to work or school - you don't just show up because you feel like it.

Mostly 2/3rds of the reads rip off either Bob and George/Insonicnia/Middleground Comics.

We could also negotiate Neorice to have either to host his site under this domain or advertise his comic on the main site, to get some traffic going, I'm also more open on weekends as well, and that could say something.
