Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Haha, there's a first to everything :p The Smog has improved quite a bit / a lot since I joined too! Seeing how it has changed over time for the better, haha.
LOL. Site Staff didn't start from The Smog though. I just sort of picked up the duties of uploading stuff for Smeargle Studio and sometimes The Competitor :O! Just happened that it helps during releases so I can fix stuff. Haha artist. I applied for access mainly for GP initially. Ended up I had done only a handful of GP and more art xD
also glad you feel that way too ! it's always great to have enthusiasticidkhowspell writers :)!
