What do you hope to achieve from forums :)

My initial goal when I joined PC was to make as many friends as possible and learn to be more comfortable with socializing with people in general. I've always been a very introverted person so I joined PC to help myself break free of that habit. So naturally I do have some high goals.

My secondary goal is to learn how to lead. I know I've got intelligence enough to do so, and I'm a very compassionate person who is also capable of doing what needs to be done, but I still need some more confidence in myself by proving myself as a capable leader here. To me, PC the way I train myself for social interaction. By immersing myself among younger people I not only learn tolerance, but I also learn things I didn't learn during childhood/adolescence. It's often said that kids can be brutally honest and I actually like that, because most adults are too afraid to point out your faults because they fear the consequences. I generally have a very large amount of respect for each staff member unless they do something to lose that respect.
As a newbie, I seriously saw members like Forest_Grovyle as the kind of person I wanted to be like. To this day, I still want to be that sort of kind and welcoming person, and I think I'm getting closer to it now.

Maybe I am too harsh on myself...especially by setting such ambitious goals. But I can't help it. I have to challenge myself. It's just part of my character.
I cant help but want to better myself and learn and experience as much as I possibly can. I want to be able to live life without fearing fear. I want to be rid of my shyness and doubt in myself because I know that if I don't address the problem that it will only serve to hinder me.

I definitely commend everyone for not pulling any punches. So far everyone has been brutally honest with me for the most part, and it's made me a better person so far. I may be a little stubborn, especially when critique is delivered less than politely, but if they are indeed right I eventually see it and work to correct the problem, if one does indeed exist. I came to PC to live, learn and enjoy myself while doing so. So far I've been able to do all three for the most part. Sure, there's likely to be rough patches and disagreements and whatnot. That's just par for the course really. When it comes down to it, I really and honestly love PC.

Really I just come here to find stuff out, meet cool people and battle of course. This is the only forum I go on though.
 
Good thread.

Not many more goals. Of course, getting modded was my dream way back when I first joined and I could barely form a coherent sentence. That finally happened (even though there was a fairly long amount of time where I despised the idea of being staff...don't ask lol), but everything is still the same. My goal on PC is to have fun and to ensure to others do as well. I think everybody can agree with that.

My original goal was actually just to get better at battling. That took way too long, but it happened (and then Platinum came out and I can't battle for pie but whatevs). Debate and discussion is still what I love, and whether it's about Pokemon or gay marriage, debates are a lot of fun (unless my opponent is an illogical moron which has happened quite a few times, but usually it's a positive experience on PC =D).

Besides the whole fun thing, I don't have many goals. I would definitely like to stay here as long as possible and keep in contact with my friends...even if that means getting off my lazy butt and getting MSN lol. But yeah, having fun, having an escape from the stresses of everyday life, and having a cool, fun, and diverse group of friends makes PC a really awesome place for me. Even though my passion for battling has died down a lot, I still love this forum. I guess that makes my goal staying here and having fun.
 
What do I hope to achieve?
Um...
Well, I hope to get 5,000 posts. That way I won't have to send in money for blogs xD

And of course being a mod would be a nice achievement to put under my belt. (You all know you wouldn't mind being one either xD) But I wouldn't be crushed if it never happened.

I guess I also kind of want to get known around the forums. And from my standpoint, I'm not sure If that's happened yet xD You can't really judge yourself on those kind of things.

Anyway, I suppose that's about it. :D
 
I come here to make my profile pretty and test my themes.

If I spot an interesting thread, I'll post. And it's a good place to come when you're bored, even if all I'm going to do is stalk some members.

That's all.
 
I don't come here for goals or achievements. I come here to talk to my friends, but I guess one achievement could be to meet more people? XDD
 
Interesting question actually. I join just to have some fun, chat and battle. PC is full of friendly people and trolls ^_-

I'd like to get some emblems, maybe make a blog and beat D_A three times in a row in OU =D
 
To kill time, I achieve nothing else and the time I've killed is all I have when the internet implodes.
 
I also came here just to talk about how lifes going. I can't talk about my feelings in general public.
 
Really the only reason I join a forum is because the interests of the users reflect my interests..

So do you have any goals, do you have any specific PC goals?

Do you always set your self a goal when you join a forum?
Click to expand...

To be honest, I find this topic rather silly since there is really only one true reason to join forums; to discuss things with others.
 
Nothing, really. Just that people like me, appreciate me, and don't find me completely terrible to be around with. I know several people on forums that people hate to be around, and I just try my best not to be one of them. :3
 
I've never had any "set" goals that I wanted to achieve when I joined. Pretty much I joined for MCG (now Pokemon Groups/Other Clubs) to get Pokemon pictures I believe. I stay here now to occasionally post in threads that seem interesting and to talk to the friends I've made.

I've been here almost three years, hit 8000 posts and um, stuff. xD
 
I don't really have any goals when I join a forum.
Probably make new friends, have fun, I guess that's it :3
 
Make a name for myself,get friends,learn,have some laughs,good discussions,hot debates,and obviously pokemon help :D
 
Since I'm new to this forum, I want to achieve 1,000 posts.
 
I joined for the community tbh

All i plan on achieving is new friends here not quite worried about staff/post counts/answers ect..
