Remember that I changed my spots before I looked this way!
 
What was the default forum style when you joined PC? Do you still use it on the occasion today, for nostalgic purposes or otherwise?

As for myself, the default style when I joined was 10th Anniversary Pocket Monsters. It's one of my favorite styles on the forums and one I tend to go back to when I'm feeling rather nostalgic. I'm using it right now, actually, because I felt like going back to how things used to look... even though I can't change how they are. I guess this is the next best thing? ...My how PC has changed since then. Can't imagine what it's like for those who were here for seven years like some old timers I know.

When I joined, the default was Forever Standing. I like that style, but I like Route 167 more then that one.

I think the default one was 'Lets Get This Party Startered', but I think I'm wrong. I switched to 'Midnight Misty' a day later and that has been my default theme ever since.

Ho-Oh February 25th, 2010 9:18 PM

I'm expected to remember back to 2005? D: Um. Pretty sure it was pokespecial adventures, since I was using that before I switched to the skin used for April Fools (this one), because I don't think I was capable of switching skins then-- or knew what to do, that is.

But yeah, if it's not that skin, then idk. XD I use it only to remember 2006 sometimes.

I honestly have no clue... except that I'm pretty sure it was blue. Something to do with Pikachu, at that, if it was blue. It might've been green, though. That probably leaves over half of the themes it could be. XD;

I honestly can't remember what the default style was when I first joined PC on my original account was called, and it doesn't help that it's no longer available from the list. It was a Christmas theme (I initially joined Dec. 2002) with a drawing of a Wooper in a Santa hat standing by a Christmas tree. The background was grey with red buttons, etc. I could be wrong about the color scheme though...I might just be thinking of "Plusle's Play Date", which is also really old, but is still selectable from the list. If other old-timers like Erica or Jake comes through this thread, they'll probably be more likely to remember what I'm talking about than I am. XD

When I opened this account the default theme was "The Plaza", which, while nice, I rarely use...I much prefer Route 127. :D

Cherrim February 25th, 2010 10:03 PM

I don't think the theme that was here when I joined is even still around. I think we pulled Plusle's Playdate? (At the very least, it's been almost drastically altered from what it was way back when, if it's still here.) As is probably obvious from context, I really... do not use it. Ever. :(

edit: @tmbjr: Yeah, you're thinking of Plusle's Playdate. It and Christmas Wooper (or whatever the heck it was called) had the same design except Plusle's was red and Wooper's was blue. :D

It was "PC Pro: Blue Edition". Staring Latios and Latias, which is one of the reason that I've joined here.

mondays suck February 26th, 2010 5:51 AM

I can't really remember which theme was the one that was there when I joined, because I changed it to the default one pretty quickly and kept that until now

Alakazam17 February 26th, 2010 6:43 AM

Well, I just went through the vast majority of themes, but nothing really comes to mind. Though I'm tempted to say it was Forest Grovyle's Legendaries, XD. But I think that was the theme present when I returned to PC after an extended absence, rather than the theme when I actually joined.

Guy February 26th, 2010 8:03 AM

I really can't recall what was the default theme on PC when I joined. It could have been Azure Fantasy at the time, because I remember using it when I joined PC for quite awhile at first, but I couldn't say exactly. I've went back to it occasionally though, basically for that old time feeling, but as of lately I've been really stuck on Poké Link 4 Blue.

Looking back, it sure does bring back some heavy memories for me actually. I'm sure there would be things I wish I could have changed about myself back then, forum-wise, but now I don't regret it. I still remember sitting by the computer desk while browsing PC and playing music. I remember the cold days and everything now looking back at the old theme I used when I joined. Things have definitely changes since then that it seems strange when looking back at it all now.

luf100 February 26th, 2010 12:01 PM

For me it was Pichu2. I still use it because I'm used to it the most.

Legobricks February 26th, 2010 12:50 PM

I think it was Squareline; I quickly chose PokéLink and have used that throughout most of my time here. I don't switch themes at all for any special reason.

Misheard Whisper February 26th, 2010 3:30 PM

I can't find it. :( I remember it had a snowy background, with Pikachu, Piplup and some others on a sled going down a hill, but I don't remember the name, and can't find it just by skipping through the list. I think it had some connection to Forest Grovyle, though? idk.

Also, while skimming, I found my new favourite skin. Forever Standing ftw.

EDIT: Ah, found it completely by accident. The default when I joined was Winter Friends.

mikey February 26th, 2010 3:35 PM

I'm pretty sure that it was Pichu(2). I could be wrong but I remember it was yellow.

Jordan February 26th, 2010 3:40 PM

Forest Grovyle's Legendaries was the default one when I first joined. I don't really use it much nowadays, since I tend to not switch around forum themes. If I accidentally switch to another one, I just keep it, and that's how it's mostly been for me.

I guess I'll use FG's Legendaries now for old time's sakes. XD

TrinityLimit February 26th, 2010 7:54 PM

dimensional rift. i like it because its easy on my eyes.

s0nido February 26th, 2010 11:07 PM

When I first joined in June 2008, the default theme was "Seeds of Platinum". After I rejoined in December 2008, the default theme was "Delibird's Delivery". I didn't like it and switched back to "Seeds of Platinum". After I got bored of that theme, I changed to several other themes until I settled for Route 167+.
