I Just flew in and boy are my wings tired!

[Kairyu]

Hahaha...ha..
Hello all,

I've been looking for a nice small pokemon forum community and I think I've found just the place:). I must first say the layout simply impressed me (I also noticed you're using vb 3.0) so I couldn't help but try to become a member around here. Yes, very cool place you've setup here.
Lets see, what else can i fill in here.. I'm technically still into collecting the card game and I still play the Pokemon R/S every so often. I'm also into drawing and even photoshopping artwork, I'm pretty good at it or at least that what I've been lead to believe (example: I did heavily photoshop that avatar in my profile.)

Anyway, I hope I won't be too bothersome for you, well see you around and say hello!

[Haraken]

Hello Kairyu. Welcome to the Pokémon Community. What a drastic and funny way to drop by our community. Have fun. You'll find the real funny people, and the community chatters, coming in just a few hours from the time of writing (although I'm one).

Anyway, I liked your introduction speech, it was one of the best so far. I like how you are one of the new members who actually notced we were running on vBulletin 3 (Gamma version to be precise). You have the sorta interests that I do. And you're even starting to get active? *puts into the Member of the Month voting for Best New Member*

[Sankari]

Hi, Kairyu! Nice to meet you. Um...is photoshop when you draw stuff on the COMPUTER or...:confused:...okay, I don't get it. But still, that avatar is, indeed, fancy.

[Arore]

Hi, Kairyu, welcome to PC. Love the avatar. ^_-

[Kairyu]

Hey, thankie for the warm welcomes you three. But new member of the month?! *blushes*
I didn't know I'm THAT great of a member, but thank you for the compliment! I'll do my best to stick around here as often as possible.

@ SPon11:
Yep, Photoshop (v6.0 is what I'm using) is a program that allows me to do.. well in short draw, enhance, and or turn any crappy looking image into a masterpiece. That god-like paint program is a dream come true, especially for artists like me:p.
And yes, my avie is indeed, fancy:chinese:.

[Porygon]

Lol, I've used Photoshop. Well… Elements 2.0, anyway. Welcome!

[Kayleigh]

Ooh, you'll be getting my vote for Best New Member too. ^_^ You're already posting well and you're active for a new member. Nice to meet you, and welcome to the PokéCommunity!

[Hikaru's Twin]

Hi, Kairyu, nice intro by the way!

Welcome to P.C and i hope you enjoy it here ^_^

[Fire Master]

Hi there Kairyu! Welcome to the PC!

[Kairyu]

Hello, and thanks again for the welcome posts:).

Being the n00b member around here its customary for me to ask you all a n00b type question. How long exactly was this place online? As in, where and when did this all begin? *Yes, I would like the answer to be in two to three paragraph, single spaced. I will grade you by sentence structuring and use of big words* -Insert evil laughter here-

Just kidding:P
But I was serious about the question, lol.

[Ultimathunder]

Nice of you to join! I'm pretty new here too and yeah this place is the best ^_^ hope you come often!

[marril2k]

Welcome, I'm somewhat new too! ^^'

[Lightning]

First off, welcome to PC. I don't usually greet members (lazy~!), but I have to agree with Vito. Not only do you seem like a great person, but we share some interests and you actually write (omg!) nice long posts. XD *likes your avatar* =D Anyway... I'm sure you'll have fun here.

As for PC's history... it was started around the summer of 2002 on an Ikonboard, so it's been around well over a year now. ^^; It only got really active once it was switched to a vBulliten around November, though... and it's been one ever since. If you want to know more about PC's history, just click here (http://pokecommunity.com/REFRENCE/showthread.php?t=7587) to get to a topic one of our Admins made back before PC's database reset. =P It's in our reference library.

^_^ Once again, welcome to PC! (Heh... you've also got my vote for best new member! XD)

*Bows respectfully*
Why, thank you Lightning :3. And thank you for answering my question! The history of this place seems pretty interesting, I'll definitely be looking through the archives more often.
Hehe, posting on all sorts of forums basically taught me to post meaningful and sometime lengthly posts, who knew? Heh. I'm beginning to like this place a little more every minute, again thanks for the welcomes everyone:).

[Kairi]

You're quite impressive! ^_^
I wish all new members and new member introduction topics were like you(rs)! I'll probably be voting for you as well. I'm glad you like it here, we're sure happy to have you join us. =)
Maybe we'll see more of your works in the art and writing sections? I certainly look foward to it.
Have a good time, and don't be afriad to ask if you have any questions. ^_^

[Miyu-chan]

I'm glad that you're glad. Thanks for the welcome:).
My artworks? Sure, once I can get my scanner working at 100% capacity you'll see a nice gallery of my best works. For now all I got are small photoshopped pictures I redid to better suit its purpose (like sigs and avatars.)

Hey cool, thank you Miyu-chan! I'm glad you like my avatar:D.
Hehe, yeah have a habit of posting like crazy when I'm in a forum. I just have so much to say, lol.

[The Vince Knight]

I give you good luck here at the community!
This is one of the best communitys ever!
Am I right?

Hey thanks DM, may I call you DM?
One of the best communities ever? Yup, I couldn't agree more. I can't find one thing wrong with it so far:).

[punkie90]

Welcome. Nice posts! Nice avatar!

[100marios]

Hey! With all your interests, you should fit in PC like peaches and cream! (...cool, I've never said that before in my life hehe) You seem to know your way around well! (not to mention all those computer gadget programs, and technological words.....my head hurts hehe) I'm looking forward to great posts from you!

From the kind, yet rather odd,
100marios!

[punkie90]

Ya. I remember. Everyone at PC has made me learn something! I used to not know what psp8 was! LOL!

[100marios]

Yeah!
*looks around, and whispers to PK*
What does that mean? Hehe...

[Arcanine]

Well welcome to Pokemon Community Kairyu. This is one of the best introductions I have seen, I mean its rare to find a new member that knows we are running on vB 3.0 (most members wont know what it is).
Well just to go back a few posts. Pokemon Community (not the one on the Ikonboard but the one on vB) was started October 16th 2002 it had its one year birthday a few months ago (PC has been up 449 days). But this is the second Pokemon Community after having a lot of data base errors we had to start a new one. And this PC has took off running and has not stoped. In little over 4 months PC has almost got back to where it was before on the old PC. So we are doing goo.
Well ill stop going on now, and to say it again. Welcome to Pokemon Community and have fun.

[Kairyu]

*Overhears 100marios silent whisper for help* :P
I think what punkie meant by psp8 was Paint Shop Pro 8. Similar to the Photoshop program, but I think what I have is somewhat better. But that's only because I know how to use it, hehe.

Oh and thank you for the welcomes you two.

Hey thanks, you really think its a nice introduction? I thought it was kinda short and concise, but then again I always type like that, lol.
But anyway, congrats on a well built community. I look forward in being here for its next anniversary. Hopefully, by then the next version of vb will also be out by then *goes to check the vb board.*

[The Vince Knight]

What kind of topic should I say about you... Heres one!
"You are a Nice and good member on PC"
So how will you react?

[Kairyu]

Wait a minute, was that trick question? Hehe, j/k.

Well I dunno, how should I react to that? I guess first and foremost I am indeed flattered you said that, thank you:). My second reaction would be (and is) me wondering why you came out and said that ^_^; are you trying to get on my good side? If so, its working, lol.

Anyway, have a great friday Dragon Master!

[The Vince Knight]

Thanks! And its not a lie.
And I am trying to get on your good side!

[John Denver]

Welcome Kairyu...I wonder how old this thing is...hehe

BOO ya!

[Kairyu]

Welcome Kairyu...I wonder how old this thing is...hehe

I don't know why I find that comment amusing.
Hehe, did you me or the thread? But that's fairly easy to find out about both you know, lol. Ah well, thanks for the welcome:).

My my, this must be the longest welcome thread I ever made! I feel so welcomed, thanks everyone.

[The Vince Knight]

But it is amusing!
But lets get back to the topic....
