Sure, it is nice to appreciate the time that went into making nice pixel art, but pixel art is an outdate style replaced because of superior technology.
I could say that I could create something of the quality of that website, but it would be a lie. The fact is I am not willing or able to put the amount of time needed to make those kinds of pixel graphics; as far as skill is concerned I could do it, you could do it, and any other competent graphics artist could. Time is what pixel art consumes.

What? What the ****? No, I couldn't make anything like St0ven did with that website. Nor could you. It's not just "time consuming", dude. It involves knowledge of colors, tones, shading, light sources, and an amazing amount of experience with AA work. Why do you think some pixel artists are better than others? Because they put more work into their images? Hell no. It's because they know how to manipulate pixels zoomed in so that at a regular resolution it looks like something else. Pixel art is a form of mosaic art, and has been around for a couple thousand years yo. It's not just something anyone can pick up and spend enough time on to make something look good. Jesus, never say again you're on par with st0ven or any of the other elite pixel artists. You know you're not, and either am I. Besides, most of those pixel artists that work on video games still make better graphics than most brush artists.
