1. Some of the material regarding the Quilting Bee, as well as some old patches I've seen mention "trading". It's my understanding than in pixel clubs nowadays, you're free to grab whatever you want, and trading is more of a two-way courtesy. Was this different in the Bee? Were there any trading "rules"?
2. In your Links page, you mention TCGs you played using something called "eTCG". I've already found my way to the Colors TCG, so my question is: were/are there any others?
With trading, folks were encouraged to share about themselves when requesting a trade with another bee. Typically, it was handled by a web form or an email. You couldn't take the patch until the bee you want to trade with responded to your trade request, so it was very different from current pixel clubs where anyone can take anyone else's creation anytime.
This is the automated TCG I know of: https://heavenspell.la-impresion.org/TCG/
there used to be tons back in the day with various themes etc. some where around a specific fandom or celebrities, others were food or everything TCGs. People spent a lot of time sourcing images and making eTCGs
The rest of your site is really great too! Some of it is beyond me, but from what I've read through so far, I especially adore the Mini-Planetarium. I hope i'll be able to help put together projects that cool one day 😅.
Thank you!! I'm really happy my site made you feel that way :)
