This website
 
Everyone can you believe this website is older than me?

Ghost Owl August 19th, 2019 8:57 PM

Did you know Cleopatra lived closer to the time of PokeCommunity than she did to the construction of the pyramids?

moon August 19th, 2019 10:00 PM

Not sure if I should tell an anecdote that makes PC seem old or me seem old. I risk doing either with either tbh.

colours August 19th, 2019 10:03 PM

it's still insane to me that i joined this website just looking for friends to talk about pokemon with and that was a good 14 years ago. i wouldn't have believed you if you told me that i was going to stick around this place for years to come. i thought i was eventually going to get bored or leave, but life doesn't play out exactly how we think it will!

moon August 19th, 2019 10:04 PM

I just needed a nerdy outlet so I could be less odd IRL. It worked!

I genuinely do not believe any PC members bar Cay are under 20 at this point

Rather, pc members under 20 use the Discord instead of forums.

Neil Peart August 20th, 2019 3:33 AM

Sometimes I still can't believe I'm playing this game 21 years later. I get bored with games rather easily, but Pokemon has continued to suck me in.

Tsutarja August 20th, 2019 3:58 AM

I was only in 2nd grade when PC was founded and now here I am graduated from college

starseed galaxy auticorn August 20th, 2019 5:41 AM

I was like... 14 when PC was created. I joined when I was 16.

it's a little funny how PC went from "lol most users are not over COPPA age" to this

Fairy August 20th, 2019 2:36 PM

raise your hand if you're closer to 30 than 15

Ivysaur August 20th, 2019 2:40 PM

I joined PC in high school and I have had a stable job for three years after finishing two bachelor degrees and a master's.

And I still have spent longer as a staff member than a regular user despite having been out for 5 years.

Neon Pink August 20th, 2019 6:59 PM

Stupid question: How old is the PC now? Just wondering.

pastelspectre August 20th, 2019 8:10 PM

Man can’t believe I’ve been on this website for so long

I was gone for... a while, or at least an on and off member and then returned permanently in like. 2016 I think? But I’m glad for the friendships I’ve made here and whatnot.

You know, that’s an interesting observation. I joined in 2011 and was modded in ‘13. Meaning I’ve spent six years here on staff and only two as a regular member.

Sami August 21st, 2019 3:28 AM

I've forgotten when I originally joined :<

Think it was around 2012-2013 but my memory is godawful.
I do remember being modded around 2014, then bailed in the same year :c

ZeoStar August 21st, 2019 3:36 AM

I joined at the later age of 17, and now I'm 19. It's interesting to go back and find topics that were created when I was about 3 years old.

I learned that while playing Assassin's Creed Origins and it still feels so weird to me xD

Palamon August 25th, 2019 12:03 PM

Why is this tagged as serious....

But, I can't believe there are people here who are younger than when PC was created, no.
I also can't believe there are people who are younger than Mean Girls. Wow.

Cubeth August 25th, 2019 3:12 PM

Haha I joined last year haha ha

Treecko August 26th, 2019 8:35 PM

Yall are making my feel so old I was 10 when PC first started and some of you weren't even born yet or barely alive 😩

Sheep August 27th, 2019 1:28 PM

I was 11 when pc came out and would be on dialup for another 3 or so years, goodness how time flies. wish I stayed active when I joined in 2006!

Alex August 27th, 2019 1:46 PM

Hah. Everyone here is OLD

Rengoku August 28th, 2019 6:42 AM

Wow, I can't even remember how old I was... 2009, so I was 17 going 18 when I first joined PC.
It'll be 10 years since I am here next month.

mikey August 29th, 2019 10:33 AM

I was 16 when I joined and now I am 26 o:

Khoshi August 29th, 2019 11:46 AM

Don't remember the exact age, but it was somewhere in the beginning of high school for me. I've since been out of school for about 3 years. Time sure flies @[email protected]

starseed galaxy auticorn August 31st, 2019 8:31 AM

I'm actually older than PC. I came here when I was sixteen... and I'm now 30. It's been a wild and long 15 years, but I have to say that it's also worth it.

Cherrim August 31st, 2019 10:43 AM

i was 14 when i joined pc (which was the year it was founded) and now i'm 30,,,, i've been here more than half my life,,,,,,,,,,

Witch August 31st, 2019 10:45 AM

I joined PC when I was still in high school (over 12 years ago now) & I was super active. Once my friends & pair left I became less active. I am trying to be better about it because I do miss things here

Roxas August 31st, 2019 11:29 PM

I joined when I was like, I dunno, 11-12. I've gone through a few accounts, I believe. All of which I never use anymore, which I think was all according to the rules at the time. They weren't like, created for ban evasion, I just wanted a new account for some reason? I don't remember. I've been using this account so long it doesn't matter anyway.

BronzeHeart92 September 1st, 2019 5:50 AM

I distantly remember metting someone on Skype (back when it was obviously still in vogue) and linking me to this site. Obviously, discovering a new site's always a joy for me but it's still obviously sad that so many communities remains unseen simply because no one's aware of them and no one's exactly going around luring new users to the site. And while we're still on the subject, feel free to mention other forums you're a member of here in case I want to check them out.

Hiroshi Sotomura September 1st, 2019 9:05 PM

My "years" count in my post info accurately reflects my lifetime on PC. I was 12.

Make of my time what you will, haha.

Sapphiox September 3rd, 2019 3:08 AM

What date is pc's birthday? The site is almost my age! But about 1-5 years difference

Caite-chan September 3rd, 2019 6:04 AM

PokeCommunity opened in September of 2002. So this month PC is 17 years old.

I joined in November of 2003. Though I never remember doing so...lol. I must have joined here and ran back to Pokemon Elite 2000 until it died out. I missed out on a bunch of PC stuff for most of the years.

Pc isn't allowed to drive a car without supervision in my country still. Phew.
