For future reference, something like this fits better in the Trade Corner or even Technology and the Internet sometimes.

In any case, are you using a 3DS? Some 3DS users have a strange glitch due to the router or ISP they have where they cannot trade with anyone that is on a different security setting (WEP, WPA, WPA2). Perhaps that is your problem?

ah! yes, i do have a 3DS! that would make sense...cuz i HAVE traded just fine with certain people, others is a no go.
Hmm, i will look more into this in the forums you suggested.
I only posted it here cuz i didnt know where to. and the thread rules (i think) said this was a "re-direction" thread, in case you didnt know where to post something.

Anyway...thanks so much! arrr! now to tackle this stupid problem!

There's a Pokemon Claim Thread located in Pokemon General. A Bishie Claim thread is in General Entertainment.

As for the Oekaki, I'm not sure who takes care of the registration there (especially since it hasn't been used in nearly two years). If worst comes to worst, you can always ask Rukario, as he's the staff member concerned with the Oekaki and registration.

There are a few older styles it won't show up on quite yet, though (might just be vBulletin Default that it won't show up on).
Is Black 2 one of the "older" styles? :P Finally found it in Altomare's Light, but I prefer the Black 2 theme. :D <-- (Hey, there's no grin?)

Well, I decided to ask this here since I want a quick answer.

So why won't mods clean up Pokecommunity? You know like delete thread that only had replies which only contains something like "This isn't the right place... Stop reviving old threads..." and something like that. I thought it would make the database run faster because these last few weeks I always get server is too busy or something. Do you get my point? Please inform me when you don't.

Well first of all, this idea would only work if we had deleted all threads like this from the beginning, we aren't going to go back and find every single thread that is like this. That would take too long unless Audy had some miracle tool to help out. In addition, I'd assume that the server has been overloaded the past few weeks due to high amounts of guests coming in at the same time, not because the threads that are near empty.

Well, can I just find them for you and link them to you whichever one I might find. It's just a little bit annoying when you have this one great question in mind and googled it and the first result was on Pokecommunity but all replies says that "This is on the wrong section, lock... This is so month old, lock... Blah-blah". But seriously now, can I do that for you?

That won't speed up the database. They'd be soft-deleted, which means you can't see them but they're still stored on the server.

Well, at least we won't see them on the very long list of threads in each section, which would speed up browsing for what your looking for.

I think part of the reason they're left there is so the person who broke the rule can see it - when posts are deleted, you can see that they're deleted, but if we delete a thread because someone bumped it then the person that bumped it can't see that they broke a rule and most of the time we don't want to warn/infract for something so small. It's really up to the mod of the section - I'm not comfortable with having dozens of deleted threads in my section just because someone thinks it doesn't look clean enough. I don't want to delete things unless there's a very good reason to do so. So if you wanted to "clean up" a section, you'd have to ask the mod of that individual section if it's something they're willing to do - mods can't delete threads outside of their own section, and higher staff generally leave the upkeep of the sections to their respective moderators.

tl;dr: it's up the mod's discretion as to why they won't, if you want threads deleted ask them personally. :)

Hmmm... Okay. So let's just leave it there. Bye.
