Why TSR?

[E-Man]

i came here because i've been interested in pixel art since i was six. i visited these forums back when they were pixeltendo, and then joined them after the change to tSRC, where i as promptly met with criticism that 14-year-old me couldn't handle.

i'm here now because i've matured at least a little bit since then, i still enjoy spriting, and i like the atmosphere of this place.

I can relate to this, CBL. While I actually spent a part of my 14-year-old life on Lemmy's Land and a year or two on Smack Jeeves, I was in for a harsh reality when I took on the latter web site. Now that I am thinking about it, I probably would not survive on this web site if I was 14, so I'm glad I returned here when I finally matured enough. Sure, I could have contributed to this site a whole lot more starting from 2009 if I was as active as I am today, but I was pretty worse off back then that I felt inclined to leave before I caused any havoc.
