And PC used to be more fun >:
Yeah, it kinda did. But I think that's partially a result of people maturing, and mostly the growth of one's self and the change of viewpoint.
Everyone seems so gat-dang human nowadays.

I've met (as it were) plenty of exceptional people here. Intelligence, peacefulness, humor, reasonableness or any other number of traits. Of course, they're the people who stand out from what's perceived as the average. And then there are the spectacularly stupid, angsty, unfunny bricks-for-brains. Everyone pretty much has a role, and they generally play it well.

And we're all here because of Pokemon. Has your mind exploded yet?

It's certainly been an interesting ride. As one of the people who was 'OH MY GOD YOU ARE NOT PART OF MY CLIQUE I HATE YOU' etc needless to say I was hated. I believe I've grown out of that phase, luckily. I was also one of those people who thought the staff was biased, delusional, unfabulous etc. Once again, I believe I've grown out of that phase. I'd elaborate more, but who wants to hear about unfortunate phases on here? xoxo

I'm gonna make it.

I so agree with you here. ^^ it's all true. I suppose it's because I've grown up. :/

You guys posted some well-thought stuff here. I like that, somehow. Makes me feel more comfortable, being a self-proclaimed "tired" member of PC. But even if I just said I was tired, I still go here whenever I can. And I find it funny that I only realize that now. Ah, also, I think it'd be a waste of web browser space to quote all these wonderfully written posts, and since I probably won't give anything except "I agree" in the bottom of each quote, then I'd just say that I agree to most of what you guys posted.

The current 'me' still brings me to a related thing I learned in PC that I find funny. It's how I didn't take every chance I had. Whenever I talk to someone here in the past, I only share a sentence or two, and not take the chance of developing true friendships. When I read good threads that time, I didn't take the chance to express what I feel in a longer manner, and simply came with short liners. Same goes with the chance to actually make new members feel welcome while posting in the NU/W sub-forum. I also had one of the longest durations of being a newb, then into inactivity that's almost as long, and whenever I bring myself to partially type www.pokecomm..., I fail to take the chance to be active again, to try to renew my interactions with the people I met. These things perfectly exemplify how I fail at making decisions...and how passive of a person I am. The moment I learned of my losses, that made me want to do what was the right thing to do in same situations in real life, and I tried to grasp the chances whenever possible to not make the same mistake again. That's something PC made me see in myself, through its variety of friendly and not-so-friendly members, what wrong I was doing. I find it funny how I only appreciate it now...how I only get to appreciate certain PMs old friends (who became staff...then ex-staff) sent me, in actually saying that, "Hey, you're doing this wrong. Think about it," and now I find myself oh-so-ignorant for not stopping to think how much what I didn't appreciate can teach.

Yeah, I know it might not seem to be as busy and fun as then, but it's still got that slogan that cracks me up, and that website URL I always find myself typing when I'm in front of a freshly served internet browser. So hey, it's still PC. :D

Hahahaha. It's fun looking back and laughing at myself. And it's funny that a Pokemon forum slowly taught me lessons. That might be the reason why I'm still here now. Just to keep learning. I don't regret signing up, and I never will.


And if it all goes crashing into the sea

On PC, a lot of people are closet trolls. I'm serious. Lots of people post around here but slowly start seeing PC for what it is. A few people go and start trolling around, and get the voices of everyone else out there out. Along with closet trolls is the amount of hypocrisy around these forums. It's atrocious.

In case you checked my join date to see how valid my point is, read my post again and figure it out.
Unfortunately I feel like I joined much to late to really enjoy PC in its glory. At the same time though I feel like I would have been really immature if I joined any earlier so perhaps coming in late was for the best.

Even though I've only been here a little past a year I've done my fair share of just lurking around. Which is a past time of mine. Just viewing other members' pages and posts. I have to say that the thing I really enjoy the most here are the people. I've done enough stalking browsing to honestly say who I like, who I don't, who is annoying, who is funny, and who I admire. For some reason I just have a really good memory and I tend to remember just about everyone I see. So even when I left for a two month period every once and a while I'd just think of all the characters there are here. Even if I've never really talked to any of them, which is usually the case seeing as I only regularly talk to a handful of members.

A lot of people here are just memorable. Even though they really haven't done anything spectacular or noteworthy outside of PC. I just think it's kind of weird that PC is almost like it's own little virtual world and I suppose I find that comical.

People are corrupt, people change, people follow crowds, people change their mind. You shouldn't really let it get to you, that's just human nature.

Funniest time at PC was the Spey era.

Both. :|

Whenever I look at my older posts, it reminds me of how childish and immature I was back then. It makes me laugh sometimes. At the same time, those were the days I enjoyed most up til now. It reminds me how people were more different than they are now. We didn't have the serious looks on our faces, well I certainly didn't. How people change, that including myself, I find comical.
