	You only have one opinion but at least it's consistent. :P But in all actuality, the games I tested didn't seem to work very well, and the whole site is a bit broken--obviously the customizable part of the games run on an interpreted language/scripting etc, through flash which itself is being run in a browser. That's going to cripple speed for anything. Additionally, the paint program/graphics editor that the site has is also suffering from these problems, making the creation of graphics through the web app infeasible: I won't wait 3 seconds for the line tool to finish selecting. The idea is okay, but doing it as a web application destroys the usability. It's not worth it to sacrifice the functionality of a project for social networking of its users--if the thing sucks it doesn't matter how easy it is to share the products because very few people will have the patience to put up with a braindead implementation of the thing long enough to create something of any decent quality.

	You probably looked at an account that had only logged in a few times. If you actually looked, especially in our featured games, the games are very good, and so is the art, especially in my friend Hooliganza's games. If you are having any problems with the speed of making art, or anything else, you probably have a probably have something very wrong with your internet connection. One more thing, keep in mind that the entire site was made by one person, so lets see if you could do anything near this.

	I could. indeed, I already did a site like this alone. any other uber quality argument/excuse? not everyone has the bless of a 2mb/s connection sir, i've tested your site too, and I had to agree with monkey. I quit due the massive amount of problems I had to even load the web itself, and the, ejem, poor quality of those two characters in the front page really discourage me to take a deeper look at the site.

	Hahaha, I have cable internet, which is a little bit faster than DSL if I remember the deal correctly. Something like 5mbps. But that shouldn't matter--web applications are going to have the overhead of being run through a browser and applet even if you have superliminal connection speeds. The game I was thinking of was the example game, which, it turns out, is actually BETTER than almost all of the user-created content--I played a few of the games featured and found controls unresponsive, graphics horrible, and a lack of any professionalism. I'm serious about the graphics--see what the "Best Graphics" category had to offer? EDIT: Typo. Edited by Monkey 'o Doom - 16 September 2007 at 5:31am

	I think you guys are missing a huge point. This game making site isn't made for 30 year olds who are pros at pixel art. It is made for late pre-teens and teens who want to make their own games. They do not know how to use RPG maker, or any of these other tools. That is why RPG Maker FAILED by the way. So you are making fun of all these people on this site, whos ages range from about 12 - 20, and all the people who have put hours into their work. I can notice you also spit on everyone who posts on this site that does not pixel as well as you. You people REALLY sould be ashamed. Edited by rogue pixel - 16 September 2007 at 7:51am

	Loads of the best pixelartists on this site are teens. Only a small amount are professional. We are critisising them, not attacking them personally. You should try to realise that recieving critisism is very important with cases like this. The site could be easily improved. Whether their games are good or not, their pixel art is terrible, it's a simple fact. This is a pixel art forum, and so we're going to be extremely critical of it. Don't you dare tell us to be ashamed.

I can notice you also spit on everyone who posts on this site that does not pixel as well as you. You people REALLY sould be ashamed. Point-by-point refutation? Indeed! You claim that the site is not for 30-year-olds but for teens and people in their twenties. This I can understand; it is the audience demographic the site looks for. Many of the users of pixeljoint fall into this group. You claim both that they don't know how to use RPG Maker and that RPG Maker failed. The latter part is shocking to me: I had always thought of it as extremely successful in being widely used and adknowledged, if illegally most of the time. It is also quite easy to use if you will take a small amount of effort to read the help file or online tutorials. I used it myself when I was young (ten or eleven) but gave it up because of the limited nature it imposes, moving to Game Maker, which still has limitations and isn't much better. So learning to use RPG Maker isn't that much of a problem and I don't think it was a failure. You claim that I/we am/are making fun of everyone on the site as well as the creator. I was trying to point out the flaws that deterred me from the site, not make fun of it or its userbase. I may have made negative comments pertaining to the site and games, but I was not trying to personally degrade or offend anyone. You claim that we at PixelJoint spit on those who pixel with less skill than we have. This is slander and completely untrue. Those who are "spit on" are those who lack both maturity and the want to improve their art. I personally love seeing new members who honestly want nothing more than to improve their art and use our comments to do so while increasing their skill. But those who lack the patience and maturity to do pixel art well often also lack the patience and maturity to improve it or respond reasonably to good-natured critique, lashing out at suggestions as if they are personal attacks or insults. This is usually because of age and maturity will increase as they grow older. When they are more mature they may return to the site and improve their pixel skills with our help and approval, no matter how bad at pixel pushing they are. You claim that I should feel ashamed. I don't feel ashamed for voicing my opinions, opinions which I feel are not radical or offensive but rather logical and constructive. I'm sorry if this lack of shame is offensive to you or decreases the positivity of your opinion of me or this site. Thank you for your time.

	lollige, stop please. -- Its all about how the site was made and how it works. that's all. or what, do you really expected people to get impresed by that? man, it sucks. every game of the site sucks because its the nature itself of the site: games made on a poor app by begginers just for fun or as a hobbie, or like a first aproach to the game desing. if some of the users feel confident to take a diferent path as programers/artist/composers in a more serius way, exelent. I think that's basically one of the goals of the site rigth? besides the 'comunity' factor.

	I'm afraid to say but... its suffering from all the problems already mentioned up there. however, its clear that this is nothing but a 'platform' for those on its early days of making games. it works that way, but could be used for nothing too serious as there are way more powerful tools out there, for free.
