I was a member of the old swoo.net forum triumverate (pixelation, gdr, distortion) but just a lurker/admirer on pixelation until around 2003, when I first posted some really, really crappy pixels
I remember when most of the "oldbies" around here joined :p Pep, st0, Helm, etc. . Even during times I'm not all that active it's just engrained in my psyche to come here.
