I was SO fucking good rofl jesus christ are you joking me
i was a troll and still kinda am but not as much; and, i think, highly underrated as a poster, but how lovable can a troll truly be?
never cared to ingrain myself in the community and still dont, even though i made a bizarre appearance at a smogon meet-up (and forever changed the lives of those who saw my good looks )
i mainly frequented smogon during two periods of my life... when i dropped all my sports, stopped hanging out with my friends and broke up with my gf during senior year of high school and became a social recluse... and when i moved back home during third year of uni because i was depressed (which is to say, i was on smogon because i was depressed, and moved back home because i was broke :p). im here now lately because otherwise im gonna leave my house and spend my money (but i will be moving out again!)
i will probably never return once the school year starts. my posting on smogon will stay with me to the grave... just one of those bizarre nerdy things i sometimes have indulged in (despite, generally speaking, a great social portfolio)

When I first joined this forum I posted a shitty battle tower rmt
then i posted a pretty decent dpp rmt based around SubDDFlail Gyarados
Then I scrambled for the next year and a half (top 1 percent of all scramblers!)
Now I start shit lose interest and let someone else take over

Really good post, Zracknel. I remember when I talked to you on IRC I encouraged you to post more. I wasn't aware of your past history on here, so it all seems to make sense now. Hopefully other people that are in a similar situation will read your post and take your suggestion.
As for me, I originally joined to be able to trade with some people in Wi-Fi. I lurked for several months because I was aware of Smogon's reputation for being elitist. The first time I really stepped into the community was when I posted my joint RMT with Limitless and applied to tutor. I remember I had less than 15 posts when I started tutoring. Smogon has hopefully shred at least part of its reputation for elitism. Over the past few years, I think Smogon has made it clear that they welcome the community to engage in its activities.

I joined Smogon because I wanted a place to post teams in case I ever wanted to. I was from the Official Shoddy server so I sorta looked down on the people (they banned Wobbuffet? What idiots!) but eventually I sorta transitioned to Smogon from Official and then they joined so it was all good anyway!
I signed up when Shiv's rpg server on netbattle used the Smogon forums for a while, applied to be a gym leader on the server, made good threads, and the rest was history
When I joined, I used to be an adventurer, like you. Then I took an arrow in the knee.
But in all seriousness, I was curious as to how far deep the rabbit hole was...and I found out that the answer is "pretty damn deep". I didn't know that there were so many facets of competitive pokemon.

that's probably because you changed your identity, chanazn
(and sex, going by my sig)
My first post was here, on page 62 of Nastyjungle's art thread. For a while I used that page as my access to the Smogon forums because I was too lazy to scroll through anything in my address bar and that was always at the top, but then I found it awkward having to make my first action any time I wanted on the forums to be to creep nj art.
Also, funnily enough, I posted right below sirndpt, the Queen of GP (who has since been overthrown and replaced by Omicron). I don't think that going to her profile was what got me interested in the GP team since I started that like two weeks after I joined, but whatever. Coincidences are cool.
Basically uhm uhm uhm I haven't changed in the seven months but I have a badge so that makes me important enough to post itt thank you!
I was a bad user because I tried to do everything and I did everything terribly
Now I do one or two things pretty well

A dumbass is everything but Wi-Fi.
Not really sure if anything changed.

I remember Limitless said something about a pretty girls thread.
But anyway, I was originally a wifier and didn't do much at all. I even got banned from Wifi for trading hacked Pokes. I then got banned for COPPA but came back and signed up for a Tutor, which I now am.
But mostly I came for the girls thread.

yes pdc and the girls thread is gone now :O
I remember that thread, San. It was the best here. Why did it close down?
Started off contributing to smogon after lurking around for months, now have a shiny contributor badge!
Same. I just joined.
DLE used to be a wee likkle battler who wanted some tutoring and help because he was pretty bad at this game. I soon became a wifier despite having very inconsistent wifi access. Most of my post attempts in any other place outside of wifi were pretty terrible.
Now I just play mafia and hardly post outside of circus maximus and karaoke threads, where I promise to sing a song and then never do.

I made an account, realized the name sucked so I made a new account. I made an introduction thread and posted in it like 20 times because I was used to forums that support posting for the sake of getting your postcount up. Changed my name and got tired of it but luckily got an extra name change which I stuck with. I got infracted like 4 times too so that's about it
