About

Stem Place was a Pxls Clone created by Mikarific, for her highschool in October 2019. She amassed a fairly large userbase on the site for one school, with hundreds of registered users and peaking at 69 online at once. Mika was responsible for introducing Pxls to members of Stem Place, posting the link in chat. Mika often mentioned Stem Place on Pxls, which led to outside interest in the site as well as it was the only popular Pxls Clone up to that point.

The original Stem Place ran between October 2019 and June 2022 over 13 canvases (with a 4 month interruption during the summer of 2020.)

Timeline

Events between October 2019 (Canvas 28) and April 2020 (Canvas 35)

c35 stem place faction

Mika discovered Pxls while c28 was nearing its end and created her instance shortly after. Stem place users began to make accounts but nothing much happened until Canvas 32 when Pinapia, a faction from stem place focused around making kawaii pineapples (later absorbed into Stem Place faction), began making pineapples. The next canvas, Canvas 33, there was a Stem Place corner (see Crimson Dawn history for more detail), and Mikarific started Pride Faction which almost immediately started a war. Selio and Mikarific continued doing their own things until the end of this period. In April 2020 (shortly before Canvas 35), the Stem Place Website randomly went down and was not brought back for some time. This caused Selio to make Stem Place a proper faction on Pxls and recruit other users from Stem Place to create their own "mini canvas."

Events between April 2020 (Canvas 35) and August 2020 (Canvas 40)

The Stem Place Pxls Clone was not online during this period, until being revived during Pxls Canvas 40 by Mikarific, DrYamok, and Selio (see Crimson Dawn c40 for more info on this event.)

Throughout this period the Stem Place pxls faction and Pride faction continued to create art, attracting stem placers to both factions. During this period the League of Factions was also created, of which Selio and Mikarific were both councilors and members.

Events between October 2020 (Canvas 41) and March 2021 (Canvas 45)

In this period the Stem Place Pxls faction rebranded to Crimson Dawn and Pride Faction continued making art. Both factions fought against 2ch with LOF. The Stem Place site enjoyed a renaissance with new activity.

Events between April 2021 (Canvas 46) and June 2022 (Canvas 58)

The start of this period was marked with the continuing battles against 2ch until they were finally nuked. Following that, activity from stem placers both on Pxls and Stem Place started slowing down. Activity on the Stem Place site was very minimal for about a year, during which the canvas never changed. In June 2022, Selio took the Stem Place site offline.

Post Stem Place Death

After Stem Place died, its legacy on Pxls continued with a few more arts from Pride Faction and a couple users' continued involvement with the pxls community. The powerhouse faction on Stem Place, The Ember Empire, also began planning its transition to Pxls.

In totality stem placers have contributed over six hundred thousand pixels to pxls.space and several factions that were part of major events on Pxls like the Pride Faction wars and 2ch wars.

List of Users With a Pxls Account

These are all the accounts I (Selio) could track down, but be aware there are likely 10+ accounts not listed here.

Total pixels placed by Stem Placers tally to 663k+

Early on many Stem Placers were banned for multi accounting due to signing up on the same school IP. Some accounts were unbanned, but others never came back, and thus remain banned on canvas.

List of Pxls Users Who Had a Stem Place Account

Mika allowed various pxls users (mostly staff) to have accounts on Stem Place, bypassing the email whitelist.

Mikarific often gave Pxls staff mod perms on Stem Place, but they were not expected to use them. Bezimienny and Atomic10 were the only pxls users to be officially brought on to the Stem Place staff team. Atomic10 was not active and left after a bit. Bezimienny was the only normal pxls user to obtain mod on Stem Place and became one of the most active users, placing over 100k. He became the most trusted of all the pxls users let onto Stem Place in the community.
