Reason for Joining the Club: Cos PC was my first "real" online home! Who's PC's Site Admin?: Rukario I remember coming across PC back when I decided to leave Bulbagarden cos of the strict mods, and I remember initially joining for the Pokemon game discussions and to make friends, and suddenly after a year-and-a-half I become a PC celebrity of all sorts. I guess becoming a PC Supporter made me want to show more love towards this forum and why it'll always be the best place to hang out. |

So, I joined PC because, like most people, I only did it for the hax :3 but time went on, I started discussing, chatting, and before you know it, I'm now that Tier 4 guy you all know and love! Well, not all but you get the picture.. :3 |
Username: LilJz1234
Reason for Joining the Club: Because this is a great community♥ Who's PC's Site Admin?: Rukario! Obviously! How did you find out about PC? I remember when I had HeartGold, I wanted to trade with people so badly but none of my friends played Pokemon (except some). So on one random boring day I decided to type in 'Pokemon Forum' on Google then I stumbled upon this gold mine of Pokemon related site called PokeCommunity :P |
I have to join this.
Username: AWsquared Reason for Joining the Club: Cause PC is my favorite forums and I feel like home here. I have made many friends here who are some of the nicest people I know. In the almost year I've been here, this place has become my life. Who's PC's Site Admin?: Rukario How did you find out about PC? I found out about PC through people on Bulbagarden. At the time , I was looking to join more Pokemon forums cause I want to be more involved in the fandom and it's community. So I Googled "Pokemon forums" and PC was the first result One thing that somewhat convinced me to was that I saw this forum had progress journals threads for Pokemon games and I was wanting to keep a record of my progress in my Diamond file. Unlike alot of people, I had no interest in rom hacking haha. But eventually I made lot of friends and opened up to the community and now it's become my life to go on PC. |

So... new topic! What's your favorite board on PC? (Like OC&D, OVP, BW, etc.) |
What's your favorite board on PC?
For me, definitely Black and White. Nica (Forever) is one of the coolest mods ever and I'm glad she's moderating what I call the best section on the forums. She puts loads of thought into her posts there and all those creative discussions made there, and the Weekly Polls and Ongoing Discussion threads make it still a fun place for me to post, and Black and White were such awesome games it was no surprise I ended up voting it as my favorite section in the last Member Of The Year poll. And she made the section fun too, with all the neat competitions it held in recent years. |
Username: Wind Heart
Reason for Joining the Club: Because Pokecommunity is the first forum that I joined. Who's PC's Site Admin?: Rukario! How did you find out about PC? I was interested in Emulation section, having lurking for many years before I joined PC. And at the moment I joined PC I find out there's much more in PC than just Emulation section! This makes me like to hang out at Pokecommunity! What's your favorite board on PC? Pokemon Clubs, because I like to talk about anything related to specific Pokemon in numerous Pokemon clubs there. |
Username: U_Flame
Reason for Joining the Club: PC is definitely my social life, Screw Facebook >:) Who's PC's Site Admin?: Rukario Pokecommunity is an internet haven to me. Everyone is so open minded, gays and bronies have nothing to fear or hide. I love that about this place. Of course, there's also the fact that it's the biggest and most helpful place for Pokemon hacking on the internet! I also love that a surprising amount of people here are fans of the Tales series, which is normally an underrated series. At least in my area, few people have heard of it, so it's exciting to have a Tales club here. Everything I love in life is here in Pokecommunity. Safe socializing, clubs for my favorite series, hacking, and just general awesomeness. I love it here! I think I found out about it when when Ruby Destiny Rescue Rangers was new. I just found out about the existence of Pokemon hacking, and my favorite one that stood out was the Ruby Destiny series. Since Ruby Destiny is featured here, it didn't take long to find this place when I was looking for news and DestinedJagold's contacting place. That's when I explored Pokecommunity and realized it isn't just Ruby Destiny's place, it's the birthplace for every famous hack! So I made an account and explored more and more of Pokecommunity's awesomeness from it's tutorials to programs to hacks to just plain socializing. My favorite board has always been the Hack's Showcase. The location of every amazing hack this site has to offer! Recently, I've also been quite active in the Other Clubs. For me, it's the heart of my socializing. Tales, Zelda, GSA, Ponies, it has clubs for everything I love. |

Reason for Joining the Club: Its the only Pokemon forum that I joined and I am the most active here. Who's PC's Site Admin?: Rukario obviously, testing me huh? How did you find out about PC?I don't know, but I thinks its by googling 'Pokemon forum' and the first one is PC, I lurked on PC for like 2 years before joining. I mostly admire the trade corner's traders' Pokemon on their shinyness and that's where I also learnt about EV training and IVs stats. What's your favorite board on PC? The Other Trivia forums of course, I spam my way there all day long whenever I am free, I rarely post on other sections because I feel that there is a need to think on how to post a constructive post and I am a lazy person, so that's why my posts has all been short. |

New topic: What's your favorite event on PC? (Like PCX, April Fools', Easteg Egg Hunts, etc.) Why? |
PCX ofc! I had so much fun, Movie Nights, eXcite to sprite and all the others were amazing! not to mention the free emblems we all get for participating :P |
What's your favorite event on PC? (Like PCX, April Fools', Easteg Egg Hunts, etc.) Why?
PCX definitely. Even though I didn't participate in most of the events it did end with me becoming a Supporter, and all thanks to our Pokemon General mod Toujours! (Oh, and Nica too since without her I would never be where I am now) |
What's your favorite event on PC? (Like PCX, April Fools', Easteg Egg Hunts, etc.) Why?
For me, that would be 2012 in Review event. I remember writing a review there and getting 2 emblems as the result. |
What's your favorite event on PC? (Like PCX, April Fools', Easteg Egg Hunts, etc.) Why?
I would say PCX. Had so much fun in one week on a forum than I've ever had before. Right after that I'd say, the Egg Swaps, specifically the Easter Egg Swap last year. It's really exciting seeing what Pokemon comes out of the egg and in the Easter 2012 I got third place and won an awesome emblem for it. |
What's your favorite event on PC? (Like PCX, April Fools', Easteg Egg Hunts, etc.) Why?
I haven't been here for long, but I'll judge my decision by the events that I joined since I was here. I would say Movie Night. We were watching Pokemon the First Movie. We had around 10 people watching it together and it was really fun. I really hope we could have one soon :) |
What's your favorite event on PC? (Like PCX, April Fools', Easteg Egg Hunts, etc.) Why
pcx was fun. movie nights looked fun too, but i didn't participate in dat one. |
What's your favorite event on PC? (Like PCX, April Fools', Easteg Egg Hunts, etc.) Why?
My favorite event has to be the April Fools' events. I wasn't able to participate in all of them, even the ones since I've joined, but I know 2006 had Todoroki, 2008 had everyone being a staff member, 2009 had Todoroki's return (which I participated in), and I remember either 2010 or 2011 had a slowpoke prank (Also participated). |
I love PC, it's a wonderful forum so I think I'll join. :3
Username: Rainbow Arcanine Reason for Joining the Club: PC is a wonderful forum and I'm glad I discovered it. I love coming here everyday and supporting it, so this is a perfect club for me! :3 Who's PC's Site Admin?: Rukario How did you find out about PC? It was a really humid night and I was getting restless of reading a novel I had picked up from the library around two days before I joined PC, so I hopped onto the computer. I wasn't in the mood for a game but I thought I'd just browse around some Pokemon discussions for a bit before going, which is when I then discovered PC. I thought it was a really friendly and brilliant forum so I decided to join and the polls were also good, so yeah! What's your favorite board on PC? I like most of the boards on PC but I'd say my favourite is the Fourth Generation Games section seeing as I could discuss with others about my favourite and first generation. Also they had some really interesting topics over there :3. A few close favourites would include Other Voting Polls and the Pokemon Voting Polls since I've always loved participating in polls and some of the questions asked were really creative! :3. And lastly the Roleplay Corner, although I don't post at all in there, I really like browsing through roleplays and reading for hours on end. What's your favorite event on PC? (Like PCX, April Fools', Easteg Egg Hunts, etc.) Why? I've only been in one PC event, the PCX but even then I thought it was a really cool event. They had some fun activities like iSketch and I particularly liked the anime contest along with other topics. It was also a time where PC members got to get together and have loads of fun. :3 |
What's your favourite event on PC? (Like PCX, April Fools', Easteg Egg Hunts, etc.) Why?
I haven't really attended any full-blown PC events since I've joined, so I can't really answer this. Oh...wait, does the PC Community Day on the battle server count? :3 So yeah, that'll be my favourite for now. xD |
I give you guys a new topic after so long:
If you have a chance to make the event for PC, what would it be? |
Username: Lightning, but call me Erica. :3
Reason for Joining the Club: I love PC and I like talking about it, lol Who's PC's Site Admin?: Rukario although I still think of him as PPNSteve after all these years hahaha Hope no one minds if I answer all the previous topics thus far... How did you find out about PC? Found it in the summer of '02 when I was joining a whole bunch of Pokémon forums. I forgot about most of them, including PC, by the time school started up again in September. In December, a good online friend of me told me she'd been modded at a forum she was newly obsessed with and that she had a fanclub at that forum. I was intrigued by the idea of a fanclub so I asked for the URL so I could see and noticed (because of the slogan!) that it was the forum I'd liked during the summer so I joined again on December 14, 2002 and the rest is history. :) What's your favorite board on PC? I'll be honest, my favourite board for years was Community HQ because I liked being able to make decisions that affected PC's daily running. n_n;; Nowadays it's probably Other Clubs because of the laid back socializing with like-minded people here. What's your favorite event on PC? Why? Mm, honestly, I've never really been one for PC events. :x When they're too big, I find them a bit overwhelming so I tend to lie low during them. I think the only one I actively looked forward to and really enjoyed was the very first "Get Together" which was literally just a bunch of people hoping to beat the record for most users online at one time. We manually sent out a bunch of PMs to everyone we knew to get them to come online at a specific time one Saturday or something and then everyone tried to post in the DCC at once which made it horrifically spammy but it was a lot of fun. :'D If you have a chance to make the event for PC, what would it be? Um, as I said, I don't really like super organized events. I guess I like the idea of movie nights or streaming episodes of the anime as a group though. But if the group is too big, it feels too disconnected so I feel like that would just be something better enjoyed with closer friends from PC and not necessarily as an official board-wide event. :x |
Welcome Erica to the club!
Anyways, guys, let's get active here! The topics are getting kinda stale and it be really bad if the is one topic and not get answered! Unfortunately we're gonna have to make a new topic! What did you think of the AF prank 2013? |
What did you think of the AF prank 2013?
It's quite interesting that the users are changed into Pokemon, and number of posts is the number of that Pokemon in the National Dex! But it's a bit of confusing because the last poster's name in PC Homepage is turned into ???. |
To the current topic:
It was great, but confusing. Didn't knew who was who. And I was jealous of people whoever got a Snorlax, and even more jealous if that person got a Shiny Snorlax. Nevertheless, PC was the only one who pranked me on that day. |
Hmmm... The club is really getting stale guys! Hmm... guys please answer this next topic!
What do you think about the recent name changes in PC this year? I believe there were too many. But I do liek some spring cleaning seeing as the other boards were not as active as others. |
Username: Yuki's Sword
Reason for Joining the Club: I like PC, of course! Who's PC's Site Admin?: Rukario. How did you find out about PC? *Points to Google.* I probably stumbled across PC on Google like most Pokemon forums I join~. What's your favorite board on PC? Right now I'd have to say Pokemon Anime because that forum is a lot of fun to post in. What's your favorite event on PC? April Fools, silly. PC plays the best pranks. |
I'll answer two topics so I can catch up.
What did you think of the AF prank 2013? I liked the idea of people showing up as different Pokemon in the postbits and you couldn't tell who that user is unless if you hovered over the online/offline icon and also the main forum index showed all the last posters as just ??? to further make it mysterious. Sadly I never found myself as an Oshawott lol but I did find myself as a Samurott which is close enough. What do you think about the recent name changes in PC this year? Yeah I do admit they were too heavy on section name changes this year but it did see some restructure as well, such as Game Development getting reorganized (and they plan to do it for Emulation as well) but I'm still trying to get used to NU/W's new name, The Welcome Lounge. The entire Off-Topic section getting changed was something well needed. |
What do you think about the recent name changes in PC this year?
For me, these name changes are better and well-considered, especially with NU/W (currently The Welcome Lounge) and OVP (currently Chit Chat and Polls). |
What do you think about the recent name changes in PC this year?
I am still adjusting to them, I really miss the old ones, but I guess this one really shows what the section is, as most people always mix up the OVP and the OCC together. |
What do you think about the recent name changes in PC this year?
Honestly I love them all save for Tabletop Games getting taken out. I understand it was only for like the card or DnD enthusiasts and I get that there are fanclubs but sometimes it is hard to talk about deck lists in a fanclub and have discussion on each one. Felt it could've been put under GE or something but oh well! And as for AF 2013 I LOOOVVED it! I thought it was crazily fun and I had a blast on that day <333 |

We saw April as the time of celebrations, many birthdays, PCversaries, and also mod promotions. Do you think that there will be more mod promotions in 2013 than there were in 2012? This is opinion based so dont give any names okay ;> |
*BUNP* Seeing as this is way past its 2 week mark, I'll just bump this. Feel free to delete this Andy if it incase breaks the rules ;o;
Well, just wanted to answer the topic above so that the club can get back on its feet :> Do you think that there will be more mod promotions in 2013 than there were in 2012? Hmm... I really think so with all of some big changes on PC here and there, I think there would be :> |
Do you think that there will be more mod promotions in 2013 than there were in 2012?
In my opinion, I guess there will be because we have been having several sections getting changed so I guess this would mean more new mods than before. |
Do you think that there will be more mod promotions in 2013 than there were in 2012?
I think it might be a possibility because the sections in PC have received some revamp. |
Do you think that there will be more mod promotions in 2013 than there were in 2012?
Perhaps? I'm thinking we'll get a Video Games moderator sometime this year, and perhaps X & Y will get a second moderator sometime in the future (assuming the current moderator there is interested in a partner). There's also the Member Interaction Center that might be opened to the entire memberbase that would likely need a staff... we'll see. :D There've already been a handful of promotions this year. |
Hmmm... Okay, another new topic to answer!
If you were an admin for a day, what would you do? If I were admin, I really don't know... xP Maybe some power aboosing but that really won't happen xD |
If I were an admin for a day? Um... depends. Probably nothing. xD Just change my name and that's it I guess.
|
SO THE GET TOGETHER IS SOON! Are you excited for it? What events would you join if it were approved?
|
Haha I guess I can join a PC club. If I may :3

I've done everything here, from becoming a moderator, to hosting events at the Get-Together. There's a few more things that I'd like to try...like creating a ROM Hack or attempt to write a Pokemon fanfiction, but the most important thing is friendship. I've met a lot of great friends here and it's a place where our friendship grows. Who's PC's Site Admin?: Rukario, the PC overlord. I'm very excited for the GT coming up. It's going to be massive. I'm actually excited for the Video Game event because I'm actually able to participate in it, now that I have Team Fortress 2! I'm also excited for the Skype event, given that I'll be hosting it once again for the 3rd time this year. |

Chit Chat & Polls - I'm always posting over there lol What's your favorite event on PC? Get-togethers! I love the games, contests, and other sorts of fun that happen during them! As for GT 2013, I am excited for it! ^_^ I'm hosting two events and I'm a judge in another. I'm also looking forward to participating in as many events as I can! |
How did you find out about PC?
I was on pe2k and talked about the manga :p But then - from a link or something, I can't remember exactly - I found PC and thought it looked and felt a lot better. Plus, there was a lot of manga talk here back in 2007. What's your favorite board on PC? The Roleplay Corner and Pokémon General! I can have two favorites, right? Probably the former still, if I would have to pick one single though. And that'll maybe always be so. What's your favorite event on PC? I don't really participate in events :p |

I love the Advance Generation Gaming and Metal & Color Generation Gaming boards, but of course The Welcome Lounge is first. Pokemon Clubs, Chit Chat & Polls, Pokemon Anime, and Pokemon General are really fun as well. What's your favorite event on PC? April Fools all the way! The site is so fun on each AF holiday. |
Ah, okay, I admit I usually love April Fools xD

If you were an admin for a day, what would you do?
I'd like to get involved with all the crazy stuff that goes on in the HQ and the rest of the staff forums, like discussing potential moderator choices. I always love choosing people who I think would be awesome staff members. |

So, what do you guys think of PC's current layout? Is it good in comparison to other pokémon forums? Are there some forums you'd like to change or switch around? |
So, what do you guys think of PC's current layout? Is it good in comparison to other pokémon forums? Are there some forums you'd like to change or switch around?
The default? It's wonderful and I'm so glad we're using it as the current default. I feel it fits really well with PC and is so aesthetically pleasing. :) Plus it was made by a good friend so I'm a bit biased, hehe. PC definitely has better skins compared to other Pokemon forums.. this is honestly the nicest-looking forum I've ever been to, Pokemon or not. But I'm satisfied with the current forums layout~ |

Are there some forums you'd like to change or switch around? I think it's pretty nice. It's organised, makes sense, and... yeah, haha. In terms of the order than the forums is in, this is talking, anyway. If you're asking about the skins then damn we're awesome. 8) Although I'm also quite into the idea of pretty dramatically changing how the forum's laid out into something like, not even reminiscent of default vB to make us look really striking and unique. That'd be pretty awesome. |
^I just thought the question over and realized the actual layout of the forums was probably what was being talked about.. oops. ;( On that note I do really love them and it has become almost the norm for me as it's usually the type of organization I look for when on other forums. Guess I've been active here for that long.

Welcome to you too Razor! Now I'll get on the topic...
So, what do you guys think of PC's current layout? Is it good in comparison to other pokémon forums? Are there some forums you'd like to change or switch around? I like the layout, it what makes us stand out quite a bit compared to most vBulletin forums and that may have been why I managed to stick around for this long. It's easy to navigate, and everything is all detailed well. As for changing some sections, no thanks because I think they are just right. |
Haha sounds fun! I'll apply~

Due to the recent COPPA enforcement here in PC, a new topic is in order!
What is your stance on COPPA in PC and how it has affected you? |
My stance is that the thought behind the law is a good one, but it really doesn't work because kids sneak onto the internet without their parents knowing. So it's really pretty silly. And it can also be argued that parents should be responsible for making sure their kids don't get into trouble online, rather than the american government.
Other than that, it hasn't affected me more than that I raised eyebrows at seeing some unexpected names get banned. Mostly because I never asked their age before since age on PC has proven to be a really bad indicator on how great a friend or rational a poster you'll be. |
COPPA has good intentions but unfortunately it is much too easy to fake an age or hide it altogether when you're on the internet. It helps out the occasional few children but I don't think it's something that's too successful in the long run and is very easily bypassed.
|
COPPA is a worthless law that doesn't merit any attention. It's just a stunt pulled by the conservative politicians; and it's ultimately powerless at keeping kids actually safe. All one has to do is lie about their age; or your age, and get you banned or shut down.
So it ultimately doesn't do any real good to enforce, and I think the PC staff is making a foolish move by suddenly enforcing it now; 10 years after the fact in a kneejerk response to some silly news story. The damage is already done and if anyone was going to complain; they'd have us anyway. But if the case is that someone has already complained and it's being enforced; then the staff is making a mistake by not being transparent about that fact; and that's quite frustrating as well since many good members were unjustly banned because of a stupid law we didn't care about before. |
Won't affect me (and never would have because I joined PC after I was already 13) but the fact that the staff are suddenly enforcing it kinda bugs me. I've never agreed with the law and I remember it was the bane of my existence on the internet before I was "of age" so my kneejerk reaction--even over a decade later--is utmost annoyance to see the acronym COPPA. I hated having to enter my birthdate wrong every time I'd sign up on a forum. And I'd always sign up with a fake birthdate because why would a stupid little rule like that stop me? So I know every other kid on the internet does it too.
>_> Pretty sure PC's had admins that weren't even 13 yet (or at least, had only just turned 13 by the time they got the position) so obviously age isn't that great of a benchmark for whether or not someone is ready to be online. I know it's the only one that can really be enforced in legal situations requiring maturity but this isn't being carded for M video games and it isn't ordering alcohol when you look young. It's just such a frustratingly stupid law and I can't imagine it actually does any good on the internet. The only kids who'd actually bother leaving a site or not registering (or asking their parents) are probably sensible enough to be using the internet anyway and all the others are signing up with fake ages which you can't validate anyway so whyyyy even bother? All that said, it is a US law and PC's servers are located in the US so I believe PC must be held subject to US law. There's so little chance PC would ever be targeted for not following it but if it ever were, to my knowledge the site could be shut down. (It absolutely wouldn't be worth fighting for it, money-wise. :/) So to that end I can't argue with the decision to uphold COPPA. I just wish it didn't have to be a decision at all. |

If you guys heard about PC 2.0 which Audy and the hstaff are working on right now, its this new software that'll change PC or something :P What do you expect from PC 2.0? |
What do you expect from PC 2.0?
I'm not sure I'll like everything about it, from what he's been telling us haha. I know a little about what's coming but I don't know if it would be leaking to say details here (as if I even know any details. I don't, really). Posts won't look quite the same, some sections of PC will get organized very differently and messaging will probably be done differently. All in all it'll likely make PC work more smoothly but I'm not good with changes so I'll likely try to use the old PC for as long as I can xD |
another revive ;-;
OKAY now, for those who don't know, PokeCommunity has its own battle server which can be located right here. Have you visited the Battle Server? Are you a reg there? What are your thoughts about it? |
Have you visited the Battle Server? Are you a reg there? What are your thoughts about it?
Yeah I have visited the server, and I'm a regular there who is an ex-voice and has quite a load of identities there. I managed to learn a lot thanks to the server, and it changed my views on the forum forever. |
Have you visited the Battle Server? Are you a reg there? What are your thoughts about it?
I think the Battle Server of PC's is awesome! I'm one of the regulars there, and I like this server, because I learned much from the server, that I becoming more comfortable hanging out in the forum as well. |
Have you visited the Battle Server? Are you a reg there? What are your thoughts about it?
Of course I have visited the Battle Server and I am indeed a regular at it. Who wouldn't like the battle server? I mean it may seem intimidating for new users at first, but everyone is nice really! If it weren't for the battle server, I would have never known that Pokémon were split into tiers, either. |
Have you visited the Battle Server? Are you a reg there? What are your thoughts about it?
Of course. I go there everyday. It is the most amazing place with a very friendly and laid back atmosphere where people can just hang out relax and have the craziest nonsensical chats and a few friendly battles with one another. A word of caution: once you set foot into it, it's one of those places which tend to draw you back in no matter how hard you try to leave or stay away. It's that awesome it's irresistible. |
Have you visited the Battle Server? Are you a reg there? What are your thoughts about it?
I think I'm a regular there, I come every day! One of the things I find interesting is how everybody has alternate usernames with which they sign in from time to time, and figuring out who's who's really fun! It's a neat way to chat with people in real time who's in a different timezone than you. |
Have you visited the Battle Server? Are you a reg there? What are your thoughts about it?
I am a regular there, a former voice too, and I absolutely love the Battle Server. Makes you go insane x3 |

Reason for Joining the Club Gunner VM'd me to I love PC very much and I've met a lot of wonderful people here, so why not? Who's PC's Site Admin? Rukario the Great Spoiler:
Have you visited the Battle Server? Are you a reg there? What are your thoughts about it? I've visited, but I'm a really horrible battler so I don't go there often. I think it's a great place for the members to hang out, but being the socially awkward twelve-year-old I am, I'm way too shy to participate in the conversations there. |
Username: srinator, duh!
Reason for Joining the Club: being the only forum i am on, why not? awesome css too :P Who's PC's Site Admin?: Rukario totally did not look above Have you visited the Battle Server?

Reason for Joining the Club: I love PC, don't I? :P Who's PC's Site Admin?: Steve (Rukario) Have you visited the Battle Server? Are you a reg there? What are your thoughts about it? I've been there a few times. I just go there to talk, I've only battled a few times. I'm just not got at competitive, so I always lose. It's a great place to be! :D |
Have you visited the Battle Server? Are you a reg there? What are your thoughts about it?
I am a regular on the server, yes! At first I was extremely shy in joining because I felt intimidated by the competitiveness it had, and I thought you need to have a certain level of competitiveness just to join. But I was dead wrong and Jelli was first to welcome me to the server when I joined for the first time. I was shown that becoming a competitive battler is optional and up to me if I ever wanted to be. I'm really satisfied that there is an option for random battles, or quick 1-1 battles if you want to battle right away. Mori (Sanguine/Moriarteh on the server) was the one that showed me a few OU articles in regards to the Overused tier, so that's where I made my first OU Rain Team in which it has become a success! It took me a while to get up to speed in terms of competitivity, and it's worth it tbh. For those who haven't joined the server, you should. You will meet the most helpful people, and you will learn a lot more about battling than you should. |
SO I DID NOT KNOW ABOUT THE SERVER MOVE THAT HAPPENED SO LETS HAVE THAT TOPIC!
What do you think about the new server? Is your PC experience a little bit better or worse? I really did not know the server move actually happened already so I was surprised. But the speed of the server is actually good... maybe a little too fast xD |
What do you think about the new server? Is your PC experience a little bit better or worse?
It's definitely faster for me. You can really tell how it's improved. Before, PC used to crash and lag a lot, but now it doesn't and I'm really happy about that. |
What do you think about the new server? Is your PC experience a little bit better or worse?
It's actually quite better, now that it's not crashing all the time. The server upgrade was definitely something well needed and without the contributing donations by the green-colored supporters we wouldn't have gotten our new sever. |
What do you think about the new server? Is your PC experience a little bit better or worse?
Personally, I don't feel any difference at all. |
What do you think about the new server? Is your PC experience a little bit better or worse?
The new server was definitely well-needed for an always-expanding community such as PC, and considering how PC currently has a 10+ year old database, it certainly needed room for expansion. As for my experience, it hasn't really changed other than the fact that there has been improvement in page loading times and definitely lack of extended downtime of 30 minutes to a few hours. |
What do you think about the new server? Is your PC experience a little bit better or worse?
I think PC is better ever since PC changed its server, that I rarely see PC down nowadays. (and the usual maintenance is one good exception for that) |
This is so obvious...
What do you think of the name changes coming back? Well, thanks to the programming god Audy, and the server lord Steve, I'd say it's great having name changes! Btw, this is Gunner or Lady Gunner for those who don't know ;3 |
What do you think of the name changes coming back?
I absolutely love it! I'll miss being [supporter]Laugh[/supporter], but I have to say, I think [supporter]Hannah[/supporter] looks great on me. (Duh, 'cause it's my real name.) Besides, it would be a good change if people call me Hannah instead of Laugh. Edit You should really update the first post, Gunner, what with all the name changes and stuff. |
What do you think of the name changes coming back?
I love it. Not going to make use of it, haha, but still. It's nice to be able to vary a bit again. If you want to. And yeah, update the first post if you haven't yet, gunner ;) |
What do you think of the name changes coming back?
I think it's really great, especially given I wasn't around when we last had them. I do plan on using it sometime next year because while I did love this name, it's almost like 3 years old and I need something fresh so I chose one of my battle server identities. Plus, I want to put more connection to my love of Oshawott in there. |
What do you think of the name changes coming back?
It's a very welcoming step because now I can change into the names that I like, especially because I joined when the name changes are unavailable at that time. And I was changing my name to Starry Windy at this point. |
What do you think of the name changes coming back?
I like it! I've never been able to experience this feature because of obvious reasons, but I'm very glad that it has returned. Although with its arrival came all the name confusions and whatnot, I mostly still can tell who's who by their avatars and sigs, or in worst cases, by their statistics tab. I really appreciate all the hard work our admins have put in to make this work for us. Looking forward to my next name change! |
Well, 2013 is wrapping up quite nicely, here's some food for thought...
What is your overall 2013 PokeCommunity experience been? |
What is your overall 2013 PokeCommunity experience been?
My experience has been quite good for 2013, I would think. Great so far! And tbh, I got more active this year--good sign! Good sign! I know I barely posted this year, but whatever, right? Posts don't really matter~. I plan to become more active in the coming year of 2014. |
What is your overall 2013 PokeCommunity experience been?
It was kinda half-and-half, I was very active for most of the year but my activity took a toll for a few weeks recently due to my computer getting fixed, but now that it's back in my hands I am back to my usual activity. I do hope 2014 turns out better for me, because I hope to accomplish more things here besides getting a coveted Veteran emblem once March rolls around. |
What is your overall 2013 PokeCommunity experience been?
There are lots of ups and downs for me, but in overall, my PC experience is going good. |
Ooh I would like to join!
Username: Bruce Banner Reason for Joining the Club: Because I enjoy PC! :D Who's PC's Site Admin?: Rukario What is your overall 2013 PokeCommunity experience been? It's been a good year I think. I've made a few new friends, and am making more. I really enjoy coming on here and chatting with friends. :) Woo we now cray cray. :p |
What is your overall 2013 PokeCommunity experience been?
My activity here really slumped at the beginning of the year, and I blame Lent for it...meaning I couldn't log on PC for forty days straight because it was something I had to give up. I was still Leaf Storm at the time, and I felt that my activity here was really horrible and there was no use for me to actually be on. So I took the break, and came back April Fools day where the anonymous Pokemon joke took place and I decided to switch back to this account, aaaand that's where I made the final switch back, leaving Leaf Storm behind. But still, my activity worsened, and it was because I was losing so much interest. So I contemplated leaving, but I had already volunteered to host a few get-together events so eventually that convinced me to stay a little longer. And indeed I did! I just couldn't leave. During the get-together I met such incredible people like bis, Mori, Jz, Apollo, and many others. And then I moved on to the battle server where I met even more peeps. What really was wrong with me was that all year I couldn't work myself to meet brand new people that were worth meeting. While I worked on my social skills on PC, I also began to work on my activity a little more. Basically, this year, compared to the past two, was just filled with so many ups and downs that I can't seem to follow, and I'm ending this year on such positive note. |
What is your overall 2013 PokeCommunity experience been?
I think this has been a great year for me since I am slowly becoming active and being a server regular helped me connect to PC more :D I just hope 2014 is better :D |
What has your overall 2013 PokeCommunity experience been?
Me slumping in the RP department due to severe writer's block, but I found other parts of PC to post in and got modded in one! So the latter half of the year has been wonderful, finetuning Pokémon General and finally gotten back my spark for writing <3 So I'll likely end the year with even more RPing and writing! All in all it's been a very active year for me. I've almost been logged on every day. |
You know, I still think that PC really changed my life in some way since I am becoming more active, knowing people across the globe and all and it feels nice knowing that in my almost 3 year stay here at PC was meaningful and happy :D
|
I was kinda bothered that this group is waaaaay down on the index. Time for a new topic if anyone doesn't mind! :3 I don't want it to die tbh. xD
Any PC-related resolutions for 2014? Are you planning to be a little more active? Maybe become a little more social? Participate in more events, more sections, etc? |
