Back around February of '06, I received my first laptop with unlimited access to the Internet. It was a wide world. For a while, I lurked on another site (Serebii) and wanted to find out what "forums" were. So I clicked and joined the forums. Also joined Bulbagarden.

A few months later, I decided that I really liked forums. I met a lot of great people through them that I never would have known. So I Google-searched for other Pokemon forums, and PC was the first one that came up. So I joined. I felt that the community was much friendlier than others I had been on, so I stuck around.

How unfortunate for you. :o

I wanted to know if anyone knew anything about a GSC re-make, or plans about it. I thought it would all be in japanese, since they always tend to know first about it (I wonder why), and Google came up with the search result "Pokemon Shiny Gold - The PokeCommunity Forums." I clicked the link and looked around a bit. I didn't join PC at first, but then I realized that the game was up for download. I tried downloading it, but soon realized that you had to be a registered logged in member of PC to actually download any attachments. So, I joined, downloaded Shiny Gold, and I soon found myself posting in the Emulation section, the MCGs, and the OC. Sometimes the OVP. As well as numerous other places every so often.

I decided to stay at PC~

I kept seeing links to PC in several peoples' signatures elsewhere, and one day I finally got curious enough to actually follow one of those links and check this place out. I decided that since this place seemed nice, and I felt like I could use another forum to post in, that I would join it.

Nothing too monumental, but that's what happened.

I was bored and I decided to search for Pokemon Images on Yahoo, but I forgot to press Image and saw "Pokemon Community", of course I click it...
but what actually attracts me was the Theme "Winter Friends" or I think it was a Snow-related Theme and has a picture of Piplup and a Pikachu playing,
and I didn't know who the Penguin was so I decided to join PC to know who that Penguin was....and after that I started enjoying PC Poof! I am now a Poster here on PC!

To be honest, I can't remember exactly! It was ages ago! But I seem to remember the Art Gallery being very active at the time with lots of friendly members, so this encouraged me to join and post my own artwork. I think this was my main reason for joining. :)

A friend was like "Look! A fanclub! Join this forum and post there :D" ...I think. It might have been "Oh, this forum looks interesting. I'll go post in the fanclub too!" Can't remember anymore. Yeah, that's pretty bad. XD;

I became inactive for a bit; I'd only post in the club. Then I got sick of SPPF (I used to live there @[email protected]) and started coming here more. I was in PA (HotS back then) for a bit, and then I moved here. ^_^

I'll make a proper signature when Pokecommunity gets a proper slogan

Cuz my bestest friend Chuchino had to leave Serebii and I joined PC to bug her keep in touch with her. :3

♥ Natti.

EDIT:

Plus, I finally ditched SPPF and their server is horrible anyway. I can barely make it to the main forum's index page and then it would crash.
... when I needed y o u the most?

Somebody mentioned it on SPPf, so I checked it out. I didn't actually become active on it until I stopped using Serebii altogether.

DOOD, THE FULL STORY IS SO MUCH MORE DRAMATIC o3o



EDIT: George, Natti, you killed the suspense D:

you explained better than I could've :x

I am somewhat of a refugee. I use to frequent a site called Animal Crossing Community because it dealt with Animal Crossing and other wireless DS games such as Pokemon.

Then one day they decided Pokemon threads were swamping their boards and decided to limit them two to stickies - one for trading and another for battle. It was quite silly as many members whether new or old protested such harsh conditions. So people simply called for an exodus and I left along with the tide.

I checked out Serebii but didnt like their community atmosphere. Not to mention I felt like I was on dial-up again. Then I stumbled upon PC. Awesome layout which is streamlined and clean. Nice and friendly atmosphere. It held my interest and I decided to stay.

Yep. That's about why I joined too. Saw PC on someone's sig on SPPF, took a look, joined. SPPF's server's didn't suck back then, but I still started getting sick of SPPF. I only hung out in one subforum anyway, and it was pretty darn boring. Was pretty happy when I saw that Sweet_May and DM were on here, but I don't really talk to them anymore. :x I love talking to Sweet_May whenever I sign onto AIM though, even though the conversation's kind of eventless. xD;

I was looking for a Pokémon oekaki to register and draw at. So I was really a member first at the oekaki, then a member here at the forums.

Thanks, Google.
