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.
Really though I was dealing with a ton of things at once and once things got more free I really wasn't much into Pokemon. Recently I picked up Black in the first time in months and remembered "oh no I haven't been on Smogon, I was going to go back when I was free!" and here I am though I'm not entirely free either. It's a Friday though so it's probably fine >>;
