I mean, I like spriting. I know that's why I came to these forums, and the place used to be called The Spriter's Resource. Denying the fact that spriting is a big part of these forums is akin to denying that a former gun-site, now a weapons site with a community heavily focused on guns, is focused on guns.
(My comma use in that could probably use work, so run through it once again if the first time didn't make sense =P)
What I was saying, if you weren't spending time bolding specific portions of it, is that if this site wants to become flourishing with fields full of rampant and excited visitors, than we need to make the forum's focus, spriting (and yes that is, to my understanding, still the focus) appealing to newcomers.
I haven't mentioned anything about rejecting other art forms and material, and nobody else has either. But the moment, this place is still heavily focused on sprites. As long as that remains true, than for this place to attract others and retain them the sprite-oriented material on this site must be inviting and engaging, attributes than the art form has begun to lose, at least on this site.
So I'm not sure what general attitude you are mentioning, as I doubt any individual here has a strong hatred for anything non-bitmap. If you think so, ask around.
