Serious This website

Everyone can you believe this website is older than me?

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

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

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!

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

Sort of 16 years somewhere.

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.

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

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.
