    Hi it's me again c:

    So my server has definitely been up for more than 36 hours now, just haven't gotten around to asking you about having it registered yet. Is there some proof of its uptime I need to show you or are we just on an honor system here? :3

    Again, this is no rush, as I know you've got a billion and one other things to do. If you'd rather me ask another admin, just let me know. No problem at all ^^
    Zarel
    Zarel
    Yes, please ask another admin. If there's trouble with that, though, feel free to hit me up.

    Hi Zarel. Firstly thank you for creating Pokémon Showdown. Secondly, there is a big problem with the ranking on the ladder, everyday i loose some points while I'm sleeping. Yesterday I was at 1668 on Gen5 OU ladder and today I have 1662 (and yesterday morning I won 3 points without playing). I don't know if is that intentional but if it is, it's not good.

    If I get first on the ladder with +13 on the second one, he will need 2 wins to get 1st place over me, with the "natural readjustement of the ladder", he will win 5 points without playing, I will loose 6 points without playing, so he will need only 1 win to get 1st place since i will have only +2 on him; The second one of the ladder doesn't deserve his 1st place then.

    Yes, this is called rating decay. You lose points every day, so you can't keep your current rating by doing nothing.

    The rating decay formula is pretty simple. You lose 1 point/day at 1400, 2 points/day at 1450, and so on (so 6 points/day at 1668).

    Ok, the fact is that yesterday I have done 5~6 battles on the ladder, so I have done something but lost 6 points. It's pretty annoying :/

    Hi Zarel. Hope your the right person to report a glitch with PS to. Apparently on Musharna, the Telepathy ability does not work. Hope you can get it fixed soon! :)
    Zarel
    Zarel
    Are you sure? It's possible you forgot to select Telepathy. Can you link to a replay that shows the bug?
    Golden Piloswine
    Golden Piloswine
    Ah, nevermind. I made a mistake. I didn't relize mold breaker negated Telepathy. Sorry bout that.

    Hello Zarel, firstly thank you for creating Showdown, secondly I've been curious about something for a while now, are you able to demote room owners like wingg?
    Zarel
    Zarel
    In general you should talk to Hugendugen or Jasmine about demoting room owners.

    Hey Zarel I hope you see this. I was always a huge Pokemon fan but as soon as I found your site I fell in love with it 10X more than I ever thought I would. Thank you for creating PS and all you do for it. Competitive battling amplified my love for Pokemon more than I ever thought was possible and this site got me into it so in other words Thank you for creating the best site ever :D

    Hi, it's me again c:

    So I was finally able to reinstall everything, started up my PS server, and this happened: http://pastebin.com/bRb7E5ej

    Not sure if this is a problem caused by something on my end or a known bug that I'm not aware of, but this didn't happen last time for me :c

    But that's only if you're sure nothing else has changed. Are you sure your public IP is static? Are you sure every NAT between you and the public internet is set for static DHCP and still has port forwarding configured correctly?
    Naoi
    Naoi
    o__o

    It came back on randomly right now. No idea why. I'm sure my IP is static though and my ISP didn't have problems with me hosting a Pokemon Online server for a year and a half. Port forwarding hasn't changed either. Weird...I'll see if it stays up this time.

    Oh, and thank you again for helping me out with this so much c:

    Zarel
    Zarel
    Most commonly, this happens when we don't restart as often as we should. It's been restarted so it should be fine now.

    Hey Zarel I just wanted you to know how much I love PS and I wanted to thank you for creating a site so epic.
    Zarel
    Zarel
    Aww, I'm glad you like it. :)

    I really don't want to bother you with this, but is there some other thing I'm missing besides forwarded ports and a static IP for running a PS server on an Ubuntu machine? PS installs and runs fine and hosts locally, but won't host any external connections :c

    I've been able to host a Pokemon Online server with ease, but for the life of me, I can't seem to get a PS server to work on my machine.
    Zarel
    Zarel
    Forwarding ports is enough... Are you sure you're forwarding the _right_ ports?
    Naoi
    Naoi
    I was pretty damn sure I was. I uninstalled it awhile ago, but I'll try again once I have access to my machine. I remember switching up the ports though in node.js though before running the program instance to all of the different ones I had forwarded.

    Maybe I'll just wipe the machine this time and see if that does anything. Thanks for helping me though ^^

    You could also check the console for crashes. A common error is to use an old version of node (the version in your repos is probably too old).

    'Ey. I was wondering if there will ever be a feature for a "/unwarn" feature. I've heard that they go on record, and if so, I believe there should be some way to "unwarn" people if someone makes a mistake. (Warning the wrong person, for example.)

    Of course, I could just be stupid. . .
    Zarel
    Zarel
    We already have the ability to mark a warning as a mistake.
    AxeBane
    AxeBane
    Oh. Is that so? Heh, that's nice.
    Skitty
    hi zarel will there ever be an implementation on Pokemon Showdown where we can unban ourselves?
    Arcticblast
    Arcticblast
    I believe mikel is working on implementing this, actually. Ask him about it.
    LzrGunPewPew
    Seems silly, but will there ever be an implementation on Showdown where you can change your name's colour without being a driver/mod?
    RaoulSteve247
    Hey Zarel, I got the idea of name clearing. So like if there are users that have like 6+ months without signing in or 12+ months would be cleared from PokemonShowdown and other users would be able to take those names. It is just an idea for some people to get more name choices. What do you think about it?
    Zarel
    Zarel
    No. We're definitely aware of that concept (it's not a very new concept), but it's nice to be able to reserve old/unused names and only manually hand them out, so they're usually still available when we need them.
    Moneyminty
    Are you who I talk about about Middle Cup? I think its the best Om implemented on Showdown and that it should be permanent and that you guys should let those who meet reqs for for its stay.
    Zarel do u happen to know how i can make an asb(anime style battling) team.
    It's a forum or something here.
