Yaaaaaaay! Another thread about our wonderful forum styles!

What forum styles mean the most to you? I'm not talking about your favorite (though I assume your favorite will mean something to you). I'm just speaking in terms of maybe some big event when something on the forums (a promotion, for example) happened when you were using a specific style, what style was the default style when you first found the site, when you joined, etc.

For me, the styles that mean the most to me are...:
10th Anniversary Pocket Monsters, because it was the style that was the default when I joined.
Forever Standing, because it was the style that was the default when I rejoined after having forgot my information from my orignal account.
Entering of the Rangers, because I used it for a hella long time and holds a lot of nostalgia for me.
PokéLink 4 Blue, because it was the style I was using when I got promoted to moderator.
New Directions, because it was my very first style that was pretty much a year in the making and I felt super proud for finally completing it.
Squareline, because I used it for a hella long time and holds a lot of nostalgia for me.
Let's Get This Party Startered, because I used it for a hella long time and holds a lot of nostalgia for me.
Route 167+, because it was the style I was using when I got promoted to super moderator.
Chromatic 2.0, because it was the second style I felt actually super proud of making.

What about you?

Generation InVerse, because it has many styles.

The prerelease Modular was a memorable theme for me. It was my current style when I got my 100th post, and as a newbie around here, I'll never forget that moment. Modular was great. Absolutely great.

Let's see...

Johto Elite - When I first joined in June 2010. It holds a ton of nostalgia for me and I use it quite often.
Generation InVerse - When I returned from my 3-month absence and marked my activity debut
The Stand Nexus - promoted to moderator :)
Chromatic (or was it Stand Nexus still? idr) - The Official PokeCommunity Adoption Center made it's debut in February and couldn't been more proud of it.
Pokebok - April Fools day 2012, and srsly the best April Fools day I've experienced. So I can't forget that :D
Hypno's Lullaby - Honestly this has become a style I've fallen in love with, because I adore the color scheme, and how it's black AND fixed width. It has become my most preferred style.

I'm attached to The Stand Nexus, since that was the default when I joined, I think. I spent a lot of my early PC days with this style and have a lot of memories of it. :3

Umm, there's also Route 167+ since I used that for a few months last winter. Was my most active time on PC!

Lets Get This Party Startered - This was the only forum style I actually liked when I first joined the forum, and I used it for ages at the beginning. It wasn't until someone pointed out to me that it was incredibly old that I decided to make the shift to

Pichu2
- which I used for the next age of my PC experience. It means a lot to me because it stars the beginning stage of my favourite Pokemon, and also because it made PC feel like home once I was no longer able to use Lets Get This Party Startered.

New Directions - for a while I switched between Pichu2 and this and I loved it because it was stylish and wonderful and made by Mr. Wonderful himself, our very own Patchisou Yutohru.

Chromatic - finally we get to this. Chromatic is my new PC home. I feel weird using anything but this now so I'd be very upset if this was deleted for any reason!

I have used a fair few throughout my tenure here.

The Stand Nexus - This was my fave for a while and was once my main skin. Not so much now though.

Nimbasa's Shining Beauty - I love Elesa, so when this one was released I used it for a while although I had trouble telling the regular members apart from supporters. Still a favorite.

Chromatic - My current skin, and one I'll probably use until a better skin comes out. I just love the layout of it and I love any skin that our own Patchisou Yutohru created.

PokeBok - Ah yes, that Facebook-styled one made by Nica for the first April Fool's I witnessed here. Didn't like the organization though tbh.

Chromatic 2.0 - My current theme. I was switching styles to see which one I liked best and this one almost instantly caught me.

Atop Mount Coronet - I love the brown chocolatey tones and the foresty background of this theme. Good on the eye and easy to use.

Forest Savage - Similar in style and rating to Atop Mount Coronet. Loved it because of the green that soothes my eyes - something that is one of my criteria for good themes.

Nimbasa's Shining Beauty - This was the theme that first greeted me the first time I opened PC on my computer.

Flames of Simplicity - I fell for this theme as it has a light and simple yet elegant feel - just what I like once in a while.

Sinnoh Springs Reduced - I love this theme because of its cheerfulness and its bright colours. It made me look forward to come back to PC.

PokeRevolution 2.0 - This was the first theme I remember being on when I first joined PC.
Forever Standing - This was the theme I used all throughout my fondest memories on PC.
New Directions - The original version of this was the theme I switched to when I first gained access to the style forums and the beta themes.

Good times.

Nimbasa's Shining Beauty was default when I joined and I stuck with it for a couple weeks, so it's a little nostalgic (even though it was only nearly three months ago...?)

Chromatic 2.0 is the theme I switched to a while ago and have stuck with since then, it's one of my favorites and I really like the design.

Ho-Oh

I love you all.

First style I used for years was Pokelink 2.0. My first style, Unova's Violet Masquerade... didn't really matter that much to me, and although I'm using The Top Dog rn for some reason (despite its flaws idk I'm using it I just swap through my styles), those two are my least favourites of the ones I've made.

Stunfisk'd matters to me otherwise because it was the first style I made with a major positive reception! Plus Kip and I collab'd really well on it. Uhhh PokeBok matters because I often use that and it was the April Fools style - my dream totally was to have an April Fools style, and it came true lool. Finally! Hypno's Lullaby. :) Cause I did it for the most part by myself which I didn't really do much with other styles and people love it, and it's a less of a gimmick style than Stunfisk'd. Bewitched also matters to me because I became a supporter just before it was released and I saw about it in the style forum.

This thread makes me want to make a new style... I have ideas!
