There’s a site I’ve been trying to recall for a while now: a design-specific discussion forum I was using maybe ten or so years ago. One of its distinguishing characteristics was that users could draw their own avatars using an icon editor—16x16, I think. New users were limited to black and white pixels only, but the more you used the site, the more colors you had access to. (They offered additional colors as rewards for other things as well.)
Does this sound familiar to anyone?
@jabronus Yes!! Great memory. That was it: https://www.designernews.co
Any idea what happened to it? I haven't heard about Designer News in years. I assume it's defunct; neither that site nor the Internet Archive are loading at the moment, so I can't tell when (or if) it went offline.
Thank you! It was annoying me that I couldn't remember it.

@csilverman yes, it sounds familiar.
No, I can’t find it either ðŸ˜
