My PokeCommunity "High" moment would be the time I opened The Official PokeCommunity Adoption Center. It's special because I worked on it so hard, and made it something special to the new members. It was a huge accomplishment I made during the time I was on staff.
After a couple of months, or probably a year, Larry (Hiidoran) had plans to open a program that would allow veteran members to "adopt" brand new members and show them around the community and teach them the basics of the PokeCommunity. As I got modded in June of 2011, that was one of my top plans. Life…got in the way, though…and the program never happened.
As December rolled though…I had finished college already, and had a ton of time for myself. So, I went ahead and re-planned the whole thing myself, re-recruited the mentors that once signed up with Larry, as well as recruited new ones that missed the original sign-up deadline back in May (iirc). While planning the Program, I've had new members come forward to me…asking me about the new mentoring program and asking for a mentor. To me it was so amazing to see that new members were already sparked interest in the program and I haven't even named it yet (or even posted it at that matter). So I felt that I needed to work quickly.
In February, I had already finished setting up everything for the thread. The mentors, their bios, and the requirements as well, everything was going well as planned. I was simply waiting for that day to be launched. On a midnight, I was finally able to open The Official PokeCommunity Adoption Center. It became a huge accomplishment, finally able to bring something big to the community…something that would benefit the new users a ton. In a matter of days, it was increasing with new members.
Throughout its course, I lost count on how many members got adopted, or how many new members got adopted by a single mentor. As you can tell the number would be pretty big. Now an ex-mod, I still deeply care about the Adoption Center, which is why I remained a mentor of the program. I want to spread the joy of PC to the new members, and other mentors should as well.
