History

The VG Resource began its life in the form of The Spriters Resource.

The Spriters Resource

NinSprites

Mark Brown, also known as Bacon, ran the site from June 2003 - January 2005.

Badassbill Handover

Shane Gill, also known as Badassbill, ran the site from January 2005, to March 2006.

Dazz Handover

Daniel Brown, also known as Dazz, has run the site since March 2006.

Pixeltendo

Pixeltendo was the name of the forum associated with tSR, and was owned by Jordan. Eventually, Dazz decided to split tSR away from the Pixeltendo forum due to the negative reputation the forum had received as being unwelcoming. Dazz created The Spriters Resource Community, later renamed to The VG Resource Community. Eventually, Jordan stopped hosting Pixeltendo due to a lack of new members and the forum closed.

The Spriters Resource Community

In 2008, tSR finally created its own forum and no longer used Pixeltendo.

Expansion

tSR expanded its network and added four more sites: tMR, tTR, tSoR, and VGR (which at the time was meant to be a news/review based article site)

The VG Resource

VGR started its life as a videogame news/review site but that didn't pan out. The purpose of the site was changed and "The VG Resource" instead became the name of the network of sites hosting tSR, tMR, tTR, and tSoR. tSRC was renamed and reskinned with a VGR skin, and the VGR domain itself was applied to the new network-wide forum.

Icon Renovation Project 2014

The four resource sites recieved new layouts and icons and work on the wiki began. The forum was archived and reset to go along with this new phase of the site.
