In terms of trading or the general populous? Cause I don't trade any more, but when I did in later 09 and 10 it was sub par. And it was bogged down by all these guilds cluttering up the board with new ones popping up every minute seemed like. I just go there on the 3DS boards these days. Gamefaqs does have some good old skool battlers since they won the Smogon Inter Forum Tournament. If you did PO I don't think you would really have to worry about DC'ers as much. I dunno if it counts as a win if they DC again you on that.
