First found this place, or rather it's Pixelopolis form, when I noticed an entry for the Christmas stockings challenge (unknown to me at the time.) at Deviantart. A link brought me here. Noticed people like Kenneth hanging around (had known about his site for a while, have much respect for the guy.) and most importantly, that this was an active pixel forum yet there were was no sprite edits. The stuff of legends.
Then I lost the link...
Searching for "socks" on deviantart didn't get much of a result. I found it again by accident when I found the link to scuba-Steve's KOS 2006 contest. Noticed a link to the original forum topic, clicked it and lo' and behold. This place.
Registration was imminent.
