I have finally updated all the sprites to their current form, which includes lots and lots of changes from Mod Mayhem. (Because of the new female sprites, I also re-structured the entries for Seasonal and Striped Dragons, because with the old structure the posts would have become much too wide.)
Up to this point, older versions of sprites have always been included where possible. (See "Waters", "Blacks", "Mints" etc.) With these masses of sprite changes, though, that would make things really really crowded!
Now, what to do?
I personally feel that having a well-structured arrangement of the current sprites is more important than the history aspect, so I deleted any older sprites from the guide.
However, I have saved the old sprites to my computer before replacing them. I'm not aware of any other DC site that features them, so I kinda feel like we shouldn't let them disappear completely.
Right now I can think of two things:
(a) putting them in a folder of the Photobucket account I use to store all newer sprites, and putting a link somewhere on the Breed Guide, saying "For older sprite versions, please look HERE".
(b) for all breeds that had sprite changes, put a line with "old sprites: …" below the table where their current sprites are arranged.
What do you guys think? Opinions? Other suggestions?
(This also means, the Breed Guide is for now Up to Date. Yay!)
