Ninsprites's aesthetic was really cool. It focused on Nintendo, updated daily, had a cool icon scheme going, etc. so I started submitting. Pixeltendo followed, and the forums were modded by Bacon, his friend Rogultgot, and JonEx. Teeks kind of drifted off (And now runs Adamant Ditto with former members Meta, Joshr, and, from time to time, Silverbolt), and the site got bigger.
After a few years and a few expansions, including accepting stuff other than Nintendo, Bacon got sick of running the site. He gave it to Badassbill, who, while well-intentioned, didn't really do anything with the site for about a year or so.
While BAB was in charge, Dazz joined and soon had a falling out with Deek. BAB gave Dazz the site, the Ninsprites loyalists (Rog and a few others) threw a shit fit, which eventually led to the closing of Pixeltendo and the rehaul of the site.
I think that's the highlight reel.
And I was there! And you young folks don't go getting the wrong idea. At one time Pixeltendo was a great place and a lot of fun.
