I really hope this thread fits here! Lets get at it!

I am challenging everyone who reads this thread to do a few very simple tasks. The goal here is to improve your PokeCommunity experience! You don't have to do all of these challenges, but you should aim to complete as many as possible. None of these will be too difficult and all of them will take a very small amount of effort.

PokeCommunity users here are your challenges:

1. Make a thread in any forum of your choosing. Make sure your thread idea doesn't already exist first though! Don't worry about if your thread is "a bad idea" because none are!

2. Welcome 5 new users to PC by visiting The Welcome Lounge. Make sure your posts are original! We want all of our users to feel welcomed and loved :)

3. Get to know 3 people you haven't spoken to before! Klippy already has a thread for this specific task so feel free to use both of these threads for this one task ;) Who knows, maybe you will find your best friend by doing this!

4. Visit the PokeCommunity IRC(info located here) or visit the Battle Server. Both of these places are great ways to meet many of PC's most active members. You can chat with friends and have an awesome time at either one!

5. Post in a forum that is foreign to you. You know that one forum that you never venture to because it doesn't appeal to you or maybe is too intimidating? Make an effort to make one post there! Just make sure you are contributing and not spamming though!

6. Make a PC member smile :) It's up to you how you accomplish this one, but I am sure you will find a way. Leave them a special VM or give them a shoutout in the user appreciation thread! have fun! :)

Feel free to post when you complete these challenges here. Give updates! I promise your PC experience will be much greater even if you just do one of these. This can also be completed more than once! Winner gets homemade holographic e-cookies from me :D

1. Make a thread.
2. Welcome 5 members.
3. Get to know 3 people.
4. Visit IRC/Battle server.
5. Post in a foreign forum.
6. Make a PC member smile!

I made some threads! And then I found this thread, so we'll start there haha. I made a few in VIP for my fellow supporters recently, but also made a doodle thread in A&D. :D It's meant to be for like, sketchbook stuff that never really gets seen. Or silly doodles that don't get shown off because they're not finished art, idk. I hope some people post in that. ;w;

Speaking of A&D though, I've made two posts in there this week! And while I did run a gallery and then a shop for a while on two separate occasions, I've never really posted in there other than that. So I made the doodle thread and I posted in the DCC. I'm gonna try and keep that up. :3

Gonna update my progress

1. Already made a few threads so completed this one!

2. Working on this one. I've welcomed a few new users, a few more to go.

3. 2/3 completed here! 2 super awesome people randomly sent me VMs recently so I've been communicating with them. Has been fun :D

4. Since I am BSS I pretty much accomplish this step daily lol.

5. I've been posting some in TWL, and just made a VG post. Both forums are ones I don't visit very often. Gonna post in a few new forums as well!

6. I think I made Zach smile today c:

Glad to see people doing this I was so worried no one would ;o;!!

  1. Make a thread. I've done a sticky before ;o
  2. Welcome 5 members. Uuugggghhhhh, I just can't bring myself to do this one. I did one member, but I feel so out-of-place and silly in TWL >_<
  3. Get to know 3 people. Two started, approaching Gavin now.
  4. Visit IRC/Battle server. I did, posted some sillies. :3
  5. Post in a foreign forum. I'll put this as my failed attempt at welcoming members, 'cause that's about as foreign as I get :>
  6. Make a PC member smile! I think I got Foxrally good with his donation. He already liked me well enough before that so I kind of suckered him, in a happy way. ~~

Why do you feel so out of place? :O I would think a PC veteran like you would be able to offer a lot when welcoming new people since you know a lot about the forum. Though if you mean like you have a hard time coming up with things to say so you don't sound repetitive...I know the feel. It's hard making every welcome post feel unique :(

It's not just the turnover rate, but a lot of it is just anxiety I guess. I'm very comfortable in TT and moderately so in places like VG and C&T... but the farther I go from TT's style and mentality the more anxious I get. I don't know how to explain it but as nice as TWL is it just clashes with me too much <_>
