A life without PC

    You wake up each day, go about your business, and do all of this while still finding time to live your PokeCommunity life. What if that all disappeared? If PC went away right now, what would your life be like? Would you have a lot of free time to get more things accomplished or would you be miserable without the wonderful community? What are some things that you would do in place of browsing, posting, or chatting on PC?
     
    If PC didn't exist, I'd probably just spend most of my time on EGC or some other forum, but I'm perfectly aware that there's no other place like PC on the internet. And trust me, I've been on a lot of forums before, but I've never felt like those forums were 'home' for me. PC, in a sense, made me feel that way, especially with all the wonderful people I've met here and will soon meet. I'd probably also spend more time on social networking sites in an attempt to fill in that dark void in my heart if PC was gone.

    I feel the same way about PC as you. It is like a home for me because I feel so close to so many people that I have befriended here. If PC went away, I'd lose some of that and I'd be miserable. Sure, I have most of the people that I am close to added on Skype but it just wouldn't be the same without PC bringing us together.
     
    While I'd probably would just go to other forums I'm also part of more, it wouldn't be the same and a part of me would feel rather empty. This place is truly another home of mine and where I can go to express myself and even vent things when angry. I don't have that at other forums. I have friends pther places, but the communities aren't as good as the ones here.
     
    I'd probably be mostly at EGC or even heck spending all my time posting all the cuties and humor I find on Tumblr. PC is probably the place I spend the most activity on so having the forum go away suddenly would make me sad.
     
    I would just play video games again, I don't as much as I used to but I would be pretty empty since I wouldn't be able to come to a place where everyone is happy and cheerful no matter how crappy their day or life has been.
     
    I would initally be sad since PC brought around so many good memories. Thought I wouldn't say that I'd mope about it for the rest of my life. Yes I guess I did lose a place that I called home but you know, life's unfair! I'd probably move on after awhile. The good thing about all of this is though that I have most of my closer friends on PC added on Skype or something. So we can still stay in touch. I'll definitely miss the community though. And wasting time after school. :[
     
    If PC went away right this very minute, the world will crash and burn. Okay I'm exaggerating, but yes, I would be quite miserable and probably would even get withdrawal symptoms lol. I would really miss posting to awesome threads, talking to my friends via VMs and reading amazing posts by other users. Wait, does the battle server disappear together with PC? If it does, I'll be even more miserable. How much more miserable? You won't want to find out. The good thing is that I get to focus more on my studies without this wonderful place distracting me all the time, possibly getting better grades haha. I also have some of my close PC friends on Skype and Facebook, so I won't be completely cut off from them. I might even start being more active on other social networking sites... Or another forum such as EGC. Also, I would probably be spending more quality time with friends outside of the internet for a change. Perhaps start exercising more frequently, etc. etc.
     
    I don't think my life would be that bad. I could probably just go about my usual business without it. I mean, it's not like these forums are the only thing that keep me from boredom. Though, I would be upset if they suddenly vanished. :/ I mean, like Laugh said, PC is like a home to me. I've been here since 2004, and I have had both good and bad memories here. There's no other forum that could ever compare to what PC is to me.
     
    Very little in my life would change, I'd move on and find a different forum. I also participate on Nintendo Life too, just not as much because I don't like that format. I mean, I like PC, it's a pretty awesome forum about Pokemon, but forums come and go, they all vanish, eventually, and get replaced by something else. It's the nature of life, to constantly change.

    I don't know though, I may be a bit hardened after seeing a forum I use to moderate on, vBulliten like this, collapse. Politics destroyed a forum about politics, how ironic, no? Then I tried to help the spin-off group build a new forum, but that became tedious due to them asking how to code things while not giving me access to the admin pages and expecting me to make miracles happen.

    The main reason I like PC though, the people here are mostly interesting, and there are a lot of cool members too. I'd miss it, but it wouldn't impact me much otherwise.
     
    A life without PC would definitely be different for me, especially considering all the awesome people I've gotten to know on it with the common interest of Pokémon. Without PC, I wouldn't be on staff at any forum anymore and being on staff has certainly been fun these past few months as well. So in essence, my life would definitely change a little if PC became a defunct website or if it just never existed at all xD
     
    Well it would have a pretty huge impact, since this is the only forum i go on haha.
    I would miss PC and everyone i met here greatly, but soon or late i just move on and forget about it.
     
    I was about to respond that I would certainly care because this is the only forum that I use, as ShadowE up there mentioned. Then I remembered the TC IRC. That isn't PC itself, so that would stay, correct? The majority of my friends who use PC go there, so it wouldn't be as much of a loss. I still would miss the friends who don't hang around there, though. I:
     
    Eh, I think life would be the same. I would miss PC, but I'd get over it. I have other forums to go to anyway. I would however miss the people here. That's about it though.
     
    PC doesn't take that much of my life anymore, especially not when I compare it to how big a part it played a few years ago.

    Like a few other people, I think my life would be the same. I only come here when I'm bored and on the computer. With school and with work, I am out of the house for most of the day. When I don't have anything to occupy my time, that's when I'll get bored and start coming on here. Which is strange because I don't really view PC as a cure for boredom anymore. It's more of a habit than anything.

    I'd also be lying if I said I came here for the people, especially since the people I care about are all people I talk to outside of PC now anyway. I wouldn't replace it with another forum.

    I'd be pretty indifferent to it suddenly disappearing.
     
    If PC was ever taken down, I would be extremely disappointed. It's one of the most favorite sites out there, and it's where many of my online friends are. Without PC, I'd have to find some other ways of staying into contact with them. This change wouldn't affect my life in any major way, but… y'know. If PokéCommunity wasn't here anymore, then just like most of you, I'd be spending my time on some other site. d:
     
    I wouldn't be that effected since I don't come here all that often, I mainly post on another forum but I'm having a... problem... over there atm so I'm posting here to take my mind off of it. It's nice to have another forum with a different community to post on to take my mind off of things, it would suck to have that gone.
     
    Well... I would try finding a way to contact some people I know from here first, but afterwards I don't think it would affect me that much. Would just live my life as I am living it right now. I guess I'll get more work done too haha

    Actually, if PC did go down suddenly I think my interest in Pokemon would deteriorate till it just becomes a thing of my childhood. I dunno, it was a huge part of my childhood so maybe I would join another Pokemon forum to feel the nostalgia again.
