Welcome aboard!

Welcome to PW, always good to see a new "face" around.

Don't mind the death preachers, they have been here waay too long to have a valid point ;)

Welcome dragon2, we've died many times before but it's the enthusiasm that counts.
Knock yourself out for a while here, there's room for plenty.

Besides we're like a persistent fungal infection, even if members go and whole websites die (there's been a number of them) there's always a few silly spores still hanging around.

Ayyy Lmao

You've got a prime example of one right here. :P

A prime example of what exactly?

A silly spore, duh. All of us are, considering we're still hanging around on a site that has lost what 99% of its userbase?

Are there even 24 active members here? If not it's a lot worse than 99% haha. (I mean most of the colony is bots but whatever.)

At this point, I have come to accept our never-death and come to like it.
And get slightly aroused by it.

Truffon ye dirty basterd

Damn this place is still going.

Eeeeyy! Was wondering when you would realize :P

Yeah but most of the images from matches already have disappeared.

It's mostly the ones that used the PW picture uploader. Others that used alternative image uploaders are fine.

A lot of alternate image hosts aren't exactly reliable either.
Always back up your images, and pick a site you know has a long archival policy.
Free image hosts live and die all the time, they just become unsustainable when too many people adopt them.

You know it always amuses me when people come back and are surprised to see we're still here. We've just enough zealots to keep functioning.

Honestly we'll probably only truly pop when the moist bed that is Chao-rel's wallet (or I suppose sanity too) dries up.

Then someone'll make another site and supplant him as admin or some shit.

But hey Fahrenheit, welcome back to this sparsely spore filled land. Enjoy your return, be it brief or not.

Even with good policies I'd still be cautious, policies change over time, sometimes without you realising, and it's not like the system can't be abused or lied about.

Backup your stuff people. And be a good sport and back up your partner's turns too. I don't know about you but I like to view other people's work too, not just my own.

That being said, what sets us apart (which is what drew me to PW in the first place) is that we make stories for our images, which is sort of rare for other spriting and pixel art forums. And some pretty comprehensive ones at that, regardless of whether their small or big, grand or dull, simple or complex.

I mean you can still read those turns, even if you can't see them anymore.

Besides we're still dribbling out new content, so we haven't completely failed as a colony just yet.

Reminds me I have to get my turn done for my DtK with JStheguy. Work's been a bitch. Also our match Gamma.

Somebody has probably asked this at some point, but are there literally no similar communities out there?
It's just so sad. (I used to have an older account here but I don't remember the name)

This can't just be us :v:

Nah there's a few other forums but from what I've seen they're either a foreign language, blatantly steal our sprites, or most likely both.

Let's raid them!

Done and done 4 years ago.

Ok, lets's raid them AGAIN!

Pretty sure they don't exist anymore

Let's do it anyway!

In before we raid the scant few other sites and we all merge together, resulting in an influx of foreign immigrants that soon inundate us all and occupy all our spriting work niches. :p
