I hate to have to resort to an autismal spergout about something like this, but considering this is PC, I don't think anyone will notice.
#thepokecommunity sucks. It's run by fools who think that after ignoring the channel for months at a time that they can just "reboot it" without any consideration for users that have never left it.
This isn't even their first time attempting to reboot the channel (a channel the administration here has never really liked anyway), and time and time again they have failed. Perhaps it's because they attempt to artificially create a channel "community" by jamming a bunch of users in at once who only have either their love for Pokemon and/or butts in common.
I've decided to remove #thepokecommunity off my auto-join list, which is a shame, because there are many great memories on that channel, and I've met a lot of great people. If this latest reboot attempt succeeds then great, but I'm sure in the end all they'll be left with is a slower channel than before. Prove me wrong though, lol.
