The problem with TIG is that it seems to be fractured on the admin level, and it seems to be in a death spiral right now. The front page hasn't been updated in years. I used to be an active member there and loved it. The site I made is very much inspired by it.

> e: apparently the avatar and account name was changed in response to transphobic tweets by notch, at least according to a random twitter user
That’s an overstep on the part of the admins/mods IMO. Either ban someone if you don’t want them there, or leave their stuff alone. Don’t go editing other people’s names and profile pictures. No bueno.

It’s basically because of a meme created after Notch was outed for his transphobic tweets (and was even kicked out from the credits for Minecraft), people were all saying that Hatsune Miku created Minecraft. Hence the anime character with the trans flag on it, I think its actually a bit hilarious.
