Stem Place (Pxls Clone)
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.)

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.
- Vanilla/FlyingSixtySix
- Netux
- Nerfarrow
- TheWaffleLord
- Atomic10
- Iceydwagon/Dark
- Bezimienny
- Shadow_z_az

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.
