@Suicune's Fire I think I partly came back to have a similar ol' spriting community experience actually! I got my start on and almost honed all of my skills on PE2K back in the day and I first found out about PE2K because it was one of few sites in the early web to have a sprite resource. PE2K plays a big role in why I sprite and I'm glad it lives on in spirit; I can only hope more spriters find their start here!
@Speed-X I haven't been posting much of my recent pixel art anywhere! I've been doing a lot of RSE-styled commissions in private and also some pretty simply chibi kinda sprites for my friends sometimes, so I haven't been in an environment where the DPPt/BW shading style and 80x80 canvas are prominent in a very, very long time haha.

In any case I'm pretty stoked that all the forum "games" as such still exist with the URPG, VPP, ASB. I never really got into URPG but GCEA sounds really interesting and I'm looking forward to having a VPP again; or maybe a Prism Pokemon (though both those things seem to have gone relatively inactive).
