ummm... mine hits the word limit.
Kay now for a detailed response like I planned to respond with, regarding me that is. XD;
Basically, I joined PC on November 15th, 2005 as simpsonqueenj. On that day, I created three threads asking the same question about Pokemon music from the anime, all three of which got locked by Jake aka Hiroshi Sotomura, who was pretty much the first person from PC I ever remember seeing. Either way, a few days later, I returned to PC, apologising for spamming and asking a question that I knew the answer to, that'd belong in the simple questions of R/S section, oh well! Anyway, it got locked, as expected! Not long after, which was the end of December, I posted in one of those questionnaire threads that were around, and got a PM due to it. This PM was from a member named RoadRunner at the time, who basically asked because some of our interests were similar, if we could pair. I didn't really know what pairing was at the time, but I agreed anyway, seeing that most others had paired from what I'd seen. Moving on, I managed to find Mixed Community Groups, aka Pokemon Groups now. Along with that, also Other Clubs, in which I made stupid threads such as "the April 29th club for people born on April 29th", which got locked, too! After that I managed to find a group in MCG (oh God I forget it now) Buuutt... it was full of so much spam, and all I'd do was post Pokemon images and mention "those pics r cute!!" etc. Whereas the spammers had arguments about them being best friends and betraying each other with the other members of the group. It was quite amusing, but idk, I didn't really care that they were breaking rules. At that time, there was also another group I spent time in, which was something related to GSC, I think the GSC fanclub? Either way! Eventually the owner got banned and kept bypassing their ban on alternate accounts pretending to be his sister, which at that point we were all thinking of abandoning the club and just getting rid of all the drama. I honestly don't recall how it ended, but I think he just moved onto another forum in the end because he hated PC, I dunno. Along with these two clubs, I also had my own successful clubs, one of which was the gastly, haunter and gengar club. It was pretty active, but quite inactive as a whole when you compare it to threads such as the SHC (shiny hunters club) at the time. Along with this, I also spent time in the Arcanine fanclub, and the Dragonair fanclub, in which three of us would basically hang out and discuss those... two topics. I dunno why, but I found it a lot of fun back then. Through those groups I also made my first friend (A-One) who spent time in MCG. I remember on April Fools, I just kinda ignored PC was black and continued posting in MCG to post more pics, good times. By that point I also tried to expand to other PC areas, making a "sprite" shop, which was really embarrassing, because it was basically me drawing backgrounds and applying actual sprites onto them, which people proceeded to make fun of. Now I don't mind though, because I know they sucked!
By the end of April, I started to make a different set of friends in MCG, which were MightMightyena99 (or however her username was spelt) and altarialover. Soon they expanded to Typhlomence, !!*Alex*!! (idk how his username was spelt), ~Rene~ (I forgot his first username) and Soari (only using the username of because she's still around now). Those pretty much were my first group of actual friends around PC. We used to spent most of our time in the Altaria and Typhlosion fanclub, as well as the Poochyena / Mightyena one. Some of us also became apart of a PC family there, which was the craze at the time, but has kinda died down since. Back then we also used to have competitions in the clubs, which kinda occurs now in current Pokemon Groups, but nothing is as fun there now as it was back then. During about May 2006, I got an offer by someone I didn't know that well to make me a fanclub, which I accepted, but he didn't post in the official permission thread at that time so it basically got locked. Then not long after, my pair at the time offered to make one properly, which he did... and the fanclub turned out to be one of the most active in PC's history, as far as member fanclubs go. God we used to have a good time back then, I'm actually thankful that posts don't count there because considering the amount we posted, and the things we posted about... yeaaah. Most of us back then ended up getting fanclubs, but mine survived the longest for some reason out of the people I talked to. Back then I also used to post in other fanclubs to get to know other members too, which brought me to a few different interests, such as Inuyasha. PC was a completely different place back then, it seemed more spammier, but we all felt closer. I mean that's not to say I don't feel close with people now, but it just was closer back then with only Private Messages, no vms, no fancy things like that. Anywaaaay, during about October 2006, I got my first username change to ×× Nica ××. It was a scary experience, because I didn't want to lose my username – yeah I was weird about that. Anywaaay, when it got changed I was so excited, even though username changes is a really minor thing. Also at that point, PC was down for a time period, (which I found out the cause of at some point but now I forgot) and that caused a few of us to lose our custom avatars, so we had to have account merges. I created an alternate account to do this but then accidentally I forgot my password and got locked out of it. So as a result, I created a CQ&F thread asking for my password and an account merge. Luckily, Andy aka Arcanine saw and merged my accounts, which gave me the userid of 37888. My original one was 19049, which was a better userid than I currently have, but hey at least I have avatars now! At that point, Typhlomence also left MCG and went onto the DCC, so altarialover and I went over there to see what the fun of it was, since the DCC was the "in" thing. Back then, everyone seemed popular to me and I was afraid of most of them. Main issue? Post count, I became obsessed with post count regarding the DCC that most of the time I posted terrible posts just for the post count. During about January 2007 we both got told off and sort of got a bad reputation around the more well known PC members. By the time April came, I had already reached 10,000 posts (on the 5th of that month, actually), as well as decided to create a new account on the 11th of the month. And that's when my username became Kawaii. I was pretending to be someone else at first because I wanted everyone to forget who I was, and I figured that was impossible. I also wanted to prove that post count didn't matter, so until about January 2007, I used that account as my main one. The next few months didn't have that much, other than me starting "The Police-y Staff", a story... about, well, you can see by the name of it. On the plus side, I asked someone in Other Trivia to remake the neverending counting thread, which then got named "The Count To Infinity", which is still around after like 7 versions of the thread, so that's something. Maybe if I didn't ask him then, things would be different now. Oh yeah, and it was also closed for a short period until one of the members convinced Siggy to reopen it. That year I also made a whole lot of other friends due to that thread as well as get to know people like Went, who I noticed enjoyed stalking the livejournals of upper staff and then telling us all about it. Anyway, at that point, Other Trivia had become my home, and when PC was down for sometime towards the end of 2007, we all kinda went crazy. Luckily, we had BF (a forum I created, which was really noobish) and a chatbox to keep us all amused. Once PC was working, we kinda tried to make the forum active, but failed at it, so we stuck to PC. Also, during 2007 I got my username changed to Nica-chan at some point, which then became Bellossom, or simpsonqueen, I can't remember, by January 2008 because one of my friends (Kenji, who is now a banned member) convinced me to go back to my main account. Anyway, going back to about November, I remember I started to spend time in PC's chat, #tpc, back then, it was a different place than it is now. It seemed more exclusive imo, either wayyy, due to #tpc, I ended up leaving PC for over a month. When I returned, PC was completely different. Well, kinda. At that point, the username changes system had changed from usernotes to a different system where it just kinda listed them manually, as we have now. The skin I used had changed its name and I had issues "getting back into PC". Those things don't seem like big now, but well, they kinda were then. As a whole, this meant we could change our usernames once more, despite the last time of my username change being in January. I decided upon HOPPING FROGGY KISSES, while Kenji chose FLUFFY KITTEN HUGS. So... it was matching, but it was weird.
