Smogon Community - Welcome to SmogonU! (Rules and Explanation)

Here's our channel: http://www.youtube.com/SmogonU
Be sure to subscribe!

You can also join us at #Smogtube on synIRC! Come here to suggest ideas and voice your opinions!

I'd like to thank everyone for their support in the YouTube channel as well as our 3,096 suscribers! You guys are the reason the channel can stay active and alive. However, the YouTube channel is about to be given a boost up and we need you to help!

This forum serves multiple roles and all of them are community guided. What I hope to accomplish here are the following:

Provide the best competitive battles with player commentary (which includes you guys!)
Quick metagame discussion (Think SmogCast except much shorter and on one specific subject, such as a recent banning)
A wide array of Pokemon topics (such as an introduction to lesser played metagames such as UU, Ubers, RU, VGC)
Commentary from the best battlers on specific teams

As you can see, the channel is no longer just going to be able recording battles and posting them - We want to get the community involved! So if you have an idea, want to help commentate on videos, have teams to recommend, or even want to join a discussion on a subject you know about, please post in the designated threads and show your support!

There are some basic rules about this forum other than the main rules of Smogon:

Please post in designated threads for a subject or your post will be deleted!
Do not advertise your own YouTube Channels in this subforum, there are plenty of other places to do that.
Do not be abusive to other people's ideas. Everyone has the right to an idea and abuse will not be tolerated.

Other than that, this forum is for you the people, so don't worry about your ideas being laughed at or deleted - we are always looking for new ideas.
