Jeremy = We're all different. I know this might not make much sense to some people, but the way I see it... I will keep all my older stuff from last year in my Deviant art account. So these sprites I delete, people will still be able to see them there, but not here anymore... I plan to fill my gallery here with just PJ contest submissions and or whatever latest so far that gets any attention.

But yeah, those older sprites... no one commented nor gived a damn, so keep them active if people won't have any interest in them? also what's the point of criticism on them, I already improved a lot compared to those days. Now, I don't wanna lose my level status on the site, so that's why when I delete them, I will replace them with new submissions.

 But why delete old stuff? There isn't a limit on pages. That anyone's reached. I rather like seeing how much I've improved :D
