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.
I want to welcome the newest members of the Battling 101 Staff - Mekkah and Bloo. Real life has swept august away (we'll miss you around here) but I know these two can help pick up the slack.
In addition, look out for some new tenured tutors soon :)
