When I first joined this place, it was so different then what it is today.. not in a bad way though, really. In 2005 it was a bit smaller, but was still the most active Pokemon forum online.. and it was all the activity that originally made me stick around. I'm one of those people who tend to dislike smaller forums.. I'd rather be in a place that was totally hectic, and had 1000 things going on at once. I have to say.. PC is exactly that. If you take the time to lurk a lot of different areas, it seems even more alive. & The community as a whole, that causes all that liveliness is the best one on the net, in my opinion. xD
It doesn't matter what I feel like talking about.. I can go through times where I don't feel like talking about Pokemon at all, but I can still stay perfectly amused here. This place is so much more nowdays then the Pokemon forum that it set out to become. Sure it has it's drama that pops up in different groups of people/friends, but that's expected, and that aspect also ties people together. Needless to say the community is my favorite part about this place. If I had the time, I could probably talk to every single person on here, and get along with them just fine.. because no one here is really mean, or too hard to talk with.
( Regardless of how they try to appear.. xD; )
Community aside, I love the features.. VMing makes keeping in touch with people easy, plus there's blogs. It seems like a forum and a personal journal two-in-one. owo
I'll stop here since it's probably tl;dr by now.
