Ask the Admins #7 - Page 2

-Marcel- · Feb 1st, 2010, 5:29:37 AM

Seeing how much time the admins invest in Smogon. Some are practically 24/7 online. Do they all have a good ''real life''?

pastel · Feb 1st, 2010, 1:19:37 PM

what does it mean when an admin/moderator ignores you?

zarator · Feb 1st, 2010, 6:07:19 PM

Do admins know each other only as "collegues", or do they have closer bonds (like friendship over MSN/Facebook, direct knowledge etc.)?

rayquazamaster776 · Feb 1st, 2010, 8:57:10 PM

What's an easy way to get more involved on Smogon?

Engineer Pikachu · Feb 1st, 2010, 9:21:28 PM

What are some reasons you are so dedicated to being on Smogon and modding it?

Golden Sun · Feb 1st, 2010, 11:22:20 PM

Have Admins or Mods ever met up in real life?

UncleSam · Feb 2nd, 2010, 10:46:13 PM

What is the most annoying aspect of being an administrator? What is the most gratifying aspect of being an administrator? (IE, having to deal with idiots, seeing users grow, etc.)

Lockeness · Feb 2nd, 2010, 11:10:11 PM

What are your thoughts on the idea of a fifth generation in pokemon? In your opinion how much longer will pokemon keep making new games?

420 · Feb 3rd, 2010, 7:21:04 AM

now that you're an administrator for a website about pokemon, where do you go from there? Astronaut? Nuclear physicist? President of math? I mean, what is the next logical step once you've reached the pinnacle of modern society? (or should I say, the Indigo Plateau? LOL) Will you just settle down and try to live a "normal" life, and get away from all the glamor and fame that comes with your position, or do you think there's possibly even a step beyond spending your free time managing a forum about pokemon? (hah, I know right? just the idea makes me laugh!)

But seriously, I really would like to know: what possible goals in life do you have? (besides being the best and catching them all, LOL)

Eternal · Feb 3rd, 2010, 5:15:13 PM

Why did you choose "Smogon" (German for "Koffing") as the name of this community?

Is there a story behind it? We would love to know, lol. Since "Koffing" seems somewhat random.

Smith · Feb 4th, 2010, 9:51:23 PM

What about Smogon (instead of maybe Serebii or something) makes you want to participate in it?

~~Zeyre~~ · Feb 5th, 2010, 5:09:05 PM

Has becoming an Admin changed how you personally feel about the site and how you feel about other members within Smogon?

Tomaius · Feb 6th, 2010, 5:23:00 PM

Whats your fav competitive pokemon and why?

El geek · Feb 6th, 2010, 7:14:55 PM

Do you like mudkips?

How would you define this fourth generation?

Aura Guardian · Feb 8th, 2010, 6:53:54 PM

Has a mod ever had to organize a troll to punish an advertiser? If so, when and how often?

Engineer Pikachu · Feb 11th, 2010, 8:07:36 PM

What's your favorite question you've seen asked in the "Ask the Admins" thread?
and... another one about faves.
What's your favorite thread on smogon ever?

***Delko**** · Feb 13th, 2010, 10:37:08 AM

Is Smogon the only site you are moderator in or are you active on the likes of Bulbapedia as well?

What are your plans for the future? Are you planning to keep on being a moderator in the future or will you retire in a couple of years?

FinnRagetti · Feb 16th, 2010, 1:40:19 AM

What do you do with you time, aside from spending your time administratrating Smogon? Do you live and breathe Pokemon every minute of everyday or do you have a life in the "real" world?

Shur.tugal · Feb 17th, 2010, 12:54:12 AM

What is your view on smogon being the "authority on competitive pokémon"?

You are not alone · Feb 18th, 2010, 3:08:20 PM

Have the admins ever made contact in real life. or don't they know each other?

CasMat · Feb 19th, 2010, 6:06:15 PM

Do you believe the fifth generation will be beneficial to Pokemon? Do you think the core Pokemon RPG series should ever end?

~~Zeyre~~ · Feb 22nd, 2010, 9:10:23 PM

Do you really think that the decision of pokemon becoming Uber, OU, BL, and UU should be decided by only around 30 people when thousands of players use Smogon for there battling standards? If you were to make it more open do you think that a system such as in order to vote you must have been active over the past, lets say, month, have so many posts, and have been on Smogon for over, say, 6 months?

Brown · Feb 25th, 2010, 6:06:02 PM

What would happen if all legendaries were simply tossed into Ubers?
