Dead.

But yeah there's no point in avoiding staff members. If any person believes that they have higher authority or importance over someone simply because they are a staff member on a Pokémon forum, there is something distinctly wrong with their brain. PC staff are just people with regular jobs and lives who escape boredom by attempting to enjoy a forum and improve other people's enjoyment on it also.

I saw a letter on the website for the Church of Satan written by one of their higher priests, explaining that "if you're joining the church to become a priest, you're a ****ing *******".
What he means is that if you're concerned about the elevation for its own sake you ought not be joining to begin with... which struck a nerve in me then. I really like the idea behind the Church of Satan.

As far as #thepokecommunity goes, I'm active on another network for ROM hacking and have SystemNet logged in because lurking in #bulbagarden is a lot of fun, and with that I might as well idle in #tpc. I like PC, after all. :P

Twiggy, enjoy South Korea! I'm sure it'll be a lot more fun for you than it was for my mother in '99...



Okay, apparently I only half-skimmed this thread or something. I want to talk a bit more.

I've seen Geoff, and as tall as he is he's not something to be scared of. And if you know him you'd know he's not really that type to be afraid of at all either way. :b

Meh, some people actively try to use their position to scare people I've noticed. On forums and social media that has hierarchy in general. It's a bit embarrassing.

Exactly, and it's the same problem with both those who are abusing their position and those who are naively falling under someone's influence for all wrong reasons.

As I've spent more and more time on the internet I've noticed a lot of people have a really bizarre automatic respect for authority, and given the culture in some places I've lived it may not just be limited to online means. Basic personal respect is something you give to everyone until they relinquish it with poor behaviour - anything more than that is earned and giving more respect to some than others for arbitrary reasons is setting the whole system you're part of up to fail. Then you get dickheads in charge who have their heads up their asses, and regular members who would do their job better than them but didn't play along, and... it's not pretty. I remember exactly that in my Army Junior ROTC regiment, and it was just awful. Everyone worth anything left the program by junior year and with that you're left to select leaders from a pool of a bunch of power players who do ROTC for pretty rank and ribbons and shoulder cords and other menial crap that wasn't what ROTC was made for.

You must be pretty tall then. :P

I remember he has a few inches on me and I'm 6' even... pictures don't lend him to be scary though, you're right about that.

i'm 6'8 last i checked lmao...

Whoa, that's pretty cool. I've always been a little jelly of those taller than me, but then again I can be really intimidating so maybe it's for the best I'm not taller lol
 
I'm perfectly fine with being 9 inches further away from hitting my head on all kinds of things than you, Aphrodite. :)

The door frames in my house are like 6'5-6'6 so I can't imagine it'd be enjoyable to have to duck a little each time I go into a different room; not to mention going down the stairs in my house where the ceiling is low enough for even me to catch my head on a bad day!
 
I'm kinda tall-ish I guess, 5'8", but it doesn't bother me.
 
I'm eternally doomed to being in the 5'7-5'8 range. I've occupied this space for the past two years. I don't HATE it.
 
My height is 6'3".

My weight is...too heavy and not getting thin fast enough.
 
I like being 6', but being just over 6' would be perfect for me. 6'1" to 6'3" would be great.
