Well none of us really did iirc, the Pokemon players on NB and such. I'm sure the more "casual" crowd did, but you could tell the difference between hardcore and casual back then.

Did everyone jump over to Nsider2? I remember posting there for a year or two, pretty much only for Power On.

Lol that was sooo long ago...I want to say around 2006 or so Nsider officially ended discussion of it on the forums since it was basically acknowledging (to me anyways) that their Pokemon support sucked and gray-area sims were the only good thing for competitive battling. The server kinda carried on for another few years after, we banded together and had another forum where a lot of us migrated to, but like most fan forums it died out.

Heh, I saw your post in Chrolaforum about Nsider. When did they shut down the NB thread back then? I remember posting in there a few times, and playing on the NSider server a bit.
