Hi guys. No update in a while, I know. This still isn't an update, just letting you know what's going on. I'm busy with a lot of stuff and I'm taking an extended break. If you have IMAGES - sprites, backgrounds - to submit please continue doing so, either on Discord or the forums. When I got enough for an update, I'll make one.
And now, an announcement. Maybe some of you saw this coming but I'm not taking sound submissions for the foreseeable future. There's a lot of reasons for this but mostly it's because I'm burnt out on the work that's involved in uploading and maintaining them. They take up a ton of space and a long time to upload. I have to find a way to store them locally on my ever-dwindling hard drive, as well as online. (By the way - I don't need a solution to any of these issues. My mind's made up.)
If you are somebody who has submitted a lot of sounds - thank you. I mean it. It is and always has been humbling that people want to volunteer their time to contribute to this place. It isn't always easy being in charge of every aspect of a large site like this, and sometimes that means issues can build up and the best solution I can come up with is an inelegant change like this. This is absolutely 100% a community-driven project but I need to do what's best for me right now.
Thanks for reading. Submit some sprites or say hi on Discord. Til next time!

So, here's an update that's not an update. I'm taking a step back from all the sound files from now on. In fact, expect permanent changes to the submission rules regarding that, coming soon. We're going to go back to what we do best. Maybe updates will become a little more infrequent, but when they happen, it'll be the sprites and images you all love to see.
What else? I'm tinkering with the site layout a little bit. The third column just didn't seem useful to me any more so I got rid of it. All the functionality that was there will be moved somewhere else very soon. There's a lot of other things I want to work on too, and I'm getting a little bored and restless so who knows where that'll take me. Well, I've talked enough, see you soon with another update.
