Joe has alaways been hated because he's arrogant. A person can't take that much though, even thought it's internet. It looks like SPP is back and I'm happy.

Excuse me for a moment... *pukes at SPPf advertising*
Anyway... if you've popped over to BMGf recently, you'll see what sparked this entire epidemic; Bulbanews. They've started implementing their plan to release screenshots/ep. guides/etc. faster than Joe could, boo-hoo.

Nice to see that it WON'T go.

This is something called "attention seeking" ... basically, you say you're shutting down so everyone goes to see your site and beg you to keep it up... =P

I hope Serebi doesn't close.That is my main source of pokemon info.
But that thread that you linked was made in January maybe he's staying now.

Attention whore, same difference.
Can't someone just quote his post here and kill the SPPf link?

Pfft. He's just going to say he's going to close it and everybody keeps visiting SPP and go NO NO NO DON'T CLOSE IT!!!!1111!!22!!!oneONE!!!@@2 And then Serebii goes "Ah maybe I shouldn't close it" and everybody is so happy and overjoyed and stuff and then Joe gets really hype about it and people go back to his site again.
Pathetic. Even if SPP does close, I wouldn't really care. I've never had much respect for SPP anyway.

Reading through more of his posts, it doesn't seem like he's leaving.
The thread seemed to be mainly about staff leaving and anger towards BG and some other sites. To be honest, it's over-reacting ^^;
The staff point, i've already mentioned. I've only sporadically had staff who do help out a lot, and normally only two maximum, so having few staff shouldn't really attract to much sympathy ^^;
I can't say joe is my favourite person..he does come across as arrogant at time, and i wish that he'd be more grateful towards all of the content of the site that has been given to him by his staff and fans, but it's his choice how he runs his site.
With the sites that hate him, i don't see why he can't ignore them. Maybe's it's a case of male pride, i don't know. If i knew a site hated me, i wouldn't fight back and keep checking what they were up to, i'd just completely ignore them. If they want to continue to complain and me behind my back, fine, but i wouldn't resort to the same level, i'd just get on with my site :3
DF was once majorly hacked by an affiliate (that's right, affiliate) that i didn't even know hated DF. They put pr0n all over the site, and even resorted to hacking my aol account and deleting it, and they would've been completely successful if it hadn't been for one dear friend that i am forever grateful to. After it had happened, I didn't put the site back up and start complaining about them and telling everyone who did it, i just let it be, and even now i won't mention who it was...if they want to be petty enough to hack me, i'm not going to start retaliating and telling everyone what a horrible site they are. The fans would be able to work that out for themselves..
With the competition, that is very much expected. DF used to be above PPN when we were back on a server which was actually reliable, which goes back to Zapchu. Because we've been on such unstable servers since that time (hopefully this one will be more permanent), as well as the major hacking mentioned above and the recent server drop without warning, i've had to accept that DF has to work its way back up, but I honestly don't mind how well DF does (i'm not expecting it to gain its old position), i just concentrate on the reason i started the site in the first place, which was "because i enjoy helping fans".
If serebii wants to leave, so be it (and it should be a case of wanting to move on with his life as opposed to competition and a lack of staff), but he needs to understand that other sites are coming up and may overtake his popularity, that strong competition is unfortunately a must, and that he's extremely fortunate to have had all the staff and help that he did have, whether or not he still has them now. He should be grateful that he has had so many dedicated fans and staff, and that, no matter where his site ends up, at least he held the top position for a long while :3

He probably does it to see if his site is apreciated, thats all, if people ask him to keep it, then he will, thats how it works. Anyways, he's closed the thread now, which is a sure sign that he will probably keep it.

yeah, he told me yesterday that he's reconsidering his options... so most likely it'll stay open (dang, i wanted his content, too - oh well, better that it stays open)

Jesus H Christ people...I havent done this a million times before...I've done it twice...if that.
Then you say its all because of BulbaNews...if you actually read my post you would know that thats not true.
The thing that gets me is how most of the community is run by arrogant elitists (I know I'm arrogant but come on, some of these take it way too far) and how they spread crap and thus get SPP bashed for no valid reason
My Problem is also the state of the community...it is fractured beyond belief with fights going on everywhere against everyone...this is the stuff that annoys me and makes me want to quit...not one poxy section on a site that has tried to one-up me countless times and failed.
Some of you need to get yer facts straight before posting. I was not looking for sympathy and I was fully intent on closing it but they did manage to convince me to give it another shot
