I didn't give the kids a chance to remake such a history filled topic now did I? Ah well. *shrug* This topic has been thrown around by various other people, just reviving great topics like usual.

So, what reeled you into PC and what made you stay?

For me, it's actually quite funny when I look back at it. I joined to check the avatar limits. XD Also after viewing a guide by Tortured_Soul. As I was creating my own at the time, finding his guide from Google. After checking the guide out and seeing the forums overall, thought I'd stick around. So, I joined PC due to a hidden power guide, and trying to find a forum that could fit a wailord animation for my avatar. XD Obviously, I'm still here after getting active my first week and just coming to enjoy everything about this forum. I suppose everything PC has to offer kept me, friends as well. The friendly environment was a huge factor as to why I stayed here. :D

So, that's my reason. Why did you join, and why are you still hanging around?

Ah, good topic, BeachtasticalBoy. x3

I joined because of the writing. Yes, the writing. I noticed that authors actually helped each other here instead of "HARR AKLJF GABLASSSSSMICK!!!!!!" so that made me happy. And I also wanted to talk about PokeSpe with people. And look at what I've got going. -pokes PokeSpe Club-

Though I think I get on here so often I have dreams about it. xD The one I had last night...well, I'll save it. That's another story. xD

I love you PC! -huggles computer- And people on PC, of course. :D

The reason I joined was primarily because of PokéSpecial scans provided by nicoleb that I found in PC's Manga section. I wanted to give something back to the community that provided these resources; I didn't feel it was fair of me to keep coming by so frequently without actually registering. 2005 was a very eventful year on this forum and I just found the place attractive enough to join.

I started to explore other sections of PC. I mainly resided in the Art Gallery and its sub-forum Home of the Sprites (now known as Pixel Art.) There are a couple of reasons why I decided to stick around, mainly because of how vast the forums were and the regulars were immense. Two of the main reasons why I stayed would be because of a sprite comic I had been making at the time and a friend I had: Cookie luvs Green, I found her to be awesome company and it helped motivate me more to just come on everyday and talk to her for hours on end. I honestly didn't expect upon joining this forum that it would be a turning point for me due to the many events that have happened, it's sort of wondrous to think about at times.

Not this topic again... =P

I was looking for information on the Macho Brace back when I started to learn about EVs in 2004. It was actually several months later that I found out how to register. I previously couldn't register because I didn't have an email address and didn't know how to get one. Throughout all those months, I had PC favourited so I never lost the URL to it. It was in my favourites because I noticed people registered here were discussing some game mechanics I had never known and I found it quite interesting so I stayed and viewed the forums as a guest almost everyday.

I joined because... either Angela asked me to, or she was like "There's an Ash club... :D", and then I decided to join. XD PC was a large forum, and I'd only seen one before, so I was curious.

I stayed for good a few months after I joined because SPPF, the forum that I used to frequent daily, was starting to make me mad. It wasn't as fun anymore. I remembered that I had joined PC, so I decided I'd give it another shot. I've been around since. :D

I was one of the many who joined to download Shiny Gold and to learn more about hacking. Since then, however I've become friends with people and have learned that Hacking is a skill I don't possess. I stick around because I still find joy in the people and the C&T section.

Three words: Pokemon Shiny Gold

I decided to stay because I took a liking to alot of the Rom Hacks here and the Wi-Fi battle stadium. Then a few months ago I started to take a liking to OVP and Computer/Technology. Now I have many friends here such as zel, Gerri, and many more people like Silver Riolu.

I joined because I needed help in Pokemon Ruby. D:

No really, Deoxys was a new rumor so I decided to google it. It took me here on PC. I made an account here 2 years ago, then I lost the password, so I made another account and another one at that. There are still many more you haven't heard about. >D I disappeared for about a year due to utter boredom and I have taken intrest in other sites. I also came back because of utter boredom. I dunno what kept me here all this time. Three years later, I am still glad I joined PC and I don't regret anything.

When I first came across PC the default banner had the Pokemon Special characters from the R/B/G/Y and G/S/C arc. So I joined. xD

And then I found teh PokeSpe club. And then I knew I was here to stay! :D
trust comrades!
no one's strong enough to make it on his own.

I joined for the love of Pokemon. I just restarted FireRed and needed people to discuss it with. =D

I love Pokemon so this is a perfect place for me.

Well, I was googling something in came across the site. I was kinda scared at first because I thought this place was full of sassy people like I see oe other forums. I staqrted to explore around a bit and I found that the people here are incredibly friendly, so I was like why not join. I joined in 2006 but I didnt start getting active untill the mid 2007s. PC is also a pokemon forums so that also grabbed my attention, but I really didnt pay that much attention to that fact. This forum has friendly people, awesome online friends, a friendly and safe environment, and it is a relaxation spot, what more could you want.

Let's seee, I had some friends who were here at the time (though I don't ever remember seeing them post after I joined XD), and since I wanted a place to post my sucky fanfiction, they recommended here :> And that's the only reason I came here for a month or so, and then the infamous Drew and the Coordinators Club popped up, annnd I've been hooked here ever since XD;

I joined PC because Andy told me to. XD

That's a simple enough reason and completely accurate. It took me 8 days from when I joined to make a post, though, and Andy kept saying that if I actually post I'd start to like it here. So, I started to post and, sure enough, I started to like coming here. Now I always have at least one tab related to PC when I'm surfing the web.

I really don't know why I joined, nor do I know how. All I remember is that in July of last year, Hazuki wanted me to join, but I didn't. In late December, I was on google looking for forums when I found this one. I decided to join, but on January first so that I could feel special. -shotterd and stabbed simutaniously- D':

It's been long but we can do it; let's make this our dream

Look to tomorrow because it's all we have. Turn up the music until the walls shake. What do we have?
Is it hope? Love? Is it nothing at all? We won't know at all until we make something of what we feel.
When that happens, we'll find the truth. We'll find what we want. And we will find ourselves, finally.
