PokéCommunity is preparing to undergo a major update in 2023. All members should ensure they can access the email associated with their account as a password reset might be required post-update. The exact date of transition will be made available at a later date.

It appears IMGUR will be (and apparently has already started) deleting images that weren't uploaded directly to an account. You can check the update notes on IMGUR here.

We know a lot of you will have used IMGUR to upload images for your threads and other PC content (signatures, flairs, etc.) and not everyone was doing so with an account.

So please note that some of your existing images may break at some point in the future. We recommend making an IMGUR account if you plan to continue using IMGUR.

Take a look at my idea!

Giratina ♀, Jul 2009: Another tip: if Haven (note: try thinking up a name instead of using a noun like that) was alone with Buizel on the island and does ever end up getting back to civilization, maybe use that sepeartion from other people to highlight just how far he...

Team Cyrii

JX Valentine, Jul 2009: I'm inclined to agree that bad grammar and spelling in the teaser (i.e., idea thread) has an unfortunate tendency to turn people off a potential fanfic. Likewise, I've skimmed your first fic, dark_giratina, and your penchant for neglecting to...

Explorers of space idea

Misheard Whisper, Jul 2009: I once planned a story about a group called the Dimensionnaires. It's a crappy name, but you're free to use it if you want to. I'll never write it. skips the plotbunny thread and goes direct to the customer =D
