Ask the Admins #7

***Mekkah***** · Jan 25th, 2010, 12:42:59 PM

Welcome to "Ask The Admins"!

Have a question you've always been burning to ask the Smogon site administration? Here's your chance! For each issue of The Smog, the Smogon admins will comb this this thread, select the very best questions, and write up answers to be published in the webzine. Your questions may cover any topic you like, but remember, not every question will be selected.

I hope you all take this chance to get in touch with us; we want to hear from you!

Rodan · Jan 25th, 2010, 5:20:53 PM

~~Sprinkles~~ · Jan 25th, 2010, 5:25:55 PM

Why do some admins do shit like giving people random user titles and avatars? (not that I care or anything[thanks BK])

***Delko**** · Jan 25th, 2010, 6:14:58 PM

what would you do if you found out that a admin was abusing there powers? would you take away there admin title or ban them outright?

Engineer Pikachu · Jan 25th, 2010, 7:46:47 PM

What's your favorite section (Firebot, Circus Maximus, Stark, etc.) of the Smogon Forums and why?

Badal · Jan 26th, 2010, 5:07:09 AM

What Inspired you to make a great website like smogon and why did you choose to focus on Competitive battling?

eric the espeon · Jan 26th, 2010, 12:33:40 PM

What makes Smogon different from other Pokemon websites, including those that try to have a competitive element?

How would you like to see Smogon change and develop over the next few years (preferably specifics)?

What do you think will happen when the multilingual Shoddy Battle 2 comes out, giving the opportunity to battle against players from every Pokemon community across the world?

lesalia · Jan 26th, 2010, 3:49:47 PM

what makes you do this by this I mean spend all of your free time and keep everything in check

symphonyx64 · Jan 27th, 2010, 12:55:59 AM

When looking to the future, what are some of the goals/envisions for the website and the community as a whole you'd like to fulfill?

Foster · Jan 27th, 2010, 8:50:47 PM

If there is one thing you would like to fix about any part of smogon right now, what would it be?

Slyguy46 · Jan 27th, 2010, 8:54:11 PM

How did you get into competitive pokemon?

DJXO9 · Jan 27th, 2010, 10:20:19 PM

This is one I've wondered:

What is the origin of the term "Smogon?'

That is actually a really good question.

german for koffing

wickdaggler · Jan 28th, 2010, 8:30:31 PM

If you had to pick one favorite Pokémon type, what would it be, and why?

What are your opinions on the new features that Shoddy Battle 2 has to offer?

Of all the avatars currently being used on the forums, which one is your favorite, and why?

Slyguy46 · Jan 28th, 2010, 9:00:39 PM

What pokemon type would you consider yourself (and don't say Normal)?

What's your favorite game besides Pokemon?

StealthFire12 · Jan 29th, 2010, 6:36:39 PM

Since the Smogon Administrators play such a huge part in the site, Do you manage to find time for things the typical smogon user would do, such as battling, trading, joining in on IRC and Shoddy conversations (I acknowledge that jump does this).

~~Purple Wobbuffet~~ · Jan 29th, 2010, 11:35:48 PM

What do you think of the average user on Smogon?

GM-Damion · Jan 30th, 2010, 10:34:01 AM

I was wondering if I could make a tribute article to the Six Kings Of The OU Pokemon for shoddy battle for the webazine? I think it would be a pretty cool article to have. After all there are six pokemon stats and there are six pokemon that match each one perfectly. Will you consider this for a future project?

I think you are in the wrong place. I think you mean to put it here: http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=64315

Aura Guardian · Jan 31st, 2010, 9:51:26 AM

What direction do you want smogon to go in, or just to stay as is?

What impact do you think Generation 5 will have on smogon?
