Generally speaking, I feel that there is no more purpose or point of working on anything else to keep this board from going on any longer. People tend to lose interest with the series while others do not even bother signing up
I'm like a one man staff member on this board with neither Pikachu and Gurlbot doing anything on this board. I mean, I have seen Pikachu login in rarely each week though he does not post or inquire of the situation regardless. I really don't like doing this but I think it's time to call it quits. No one is actively posting anymore, no one is joining, and no one is showing an interest of getting this board back actively.
I've seen members like The Priest, eevachu, tawna, Spenk, samnaz, or panamalav that haven't even posted in months while still logining in regardless. There's also 3 pages of members that haven't posted at all since they signed up. Out of 4 pages of members, more than 75 percent do not post. That's just plain sad and why this board is always dead. It's dead, folks, a former shell of what it was when Gurlbot was actually on and contributed.
Likewise, I think I'm done as well. I outgrew the series and rarely have time to watch any of the episodes. Sad to say but it's true. As such, I will no longer be active or adding anything new because it's a ghost board to be honest. I don't like it when my work is put for nothing. No one takes interest or makes an effort of trying to get this board actively except for myself, benny, flygon, and latias. We're down to a single post or topic each day and that alone is also sad. Most of it is me creating a topic to get things started again and with Benny talking to me as if we're in a single one on one chat room.
Has anyone even have a counter argument of why we should still be online at all? I'll be online through aim mostly but not on here as much. Unless something drastically changes, I'll come back but until than, I'm done. I'm sick of working with no one and having non responsive members that don't do anything at all. My username on AIM is at zjoeyjj.

i do see exactly what your saying. a vounter argument?i dont have one.because you are right, to a degree. weve tried almost everything.i posted recently about advertising on social networking sites , wich im still happy to do. heres something about what i dont do , incase anyones intrested. i dont watch the episodes.i stopped almost a year ago. i dont buy merchandise i dont really lay the games im not a pokemon fan as such. but i still do enjoy this.i think its fun.im getting older but i can appreciate that ther will be this slightly less amture side of me that can enjoy these thigns. im happy to talk pokemon.wen somethign sparks an intrest , il go find out more. with that said , you will be sorely missed greatlord.please dont delete your account or anything like that.i feelthat your name should remain here , as you have deserved the right to be remembered as somene who tried. as for people not trying , i like to think i do when i can i resent my name not being on your list! haha im kidding . but one question.if your going...what..moderatrs are ;eft that come on? we wont have anyone who is able to fix things , or even try, now that youve gone. we need at least somene who is willing to still come on and fufil the duties just now , jsut until we get everything sorted.and such. im sure there are people here willing to oblige.i just wouldnt feel entirely comfrtable with no continuously active moderators. warriorgaz19

(sigh) the end of an era. This is sad, but I can't blame anyone for leaving. This place is...well...it's dead. It's really dead. No one post, and I keep telling myself "post and contribute to the board and it'll be active." But I'm starting to realize thats not true at all. Everyone has to have that mindset, and since that's nearly impossible, keeping this site active is nearly impossible as well. So ya, I'm not making new post unless something interesting comes along. Sure, I'll login just as much as usual, and if a topic comes up that I reallly think I need to share, I might post it, but other than that, I'm pretty much a ghost.
I'm sorry PMC

P.S. We should always keep this place online though. For sentimental reasons.

Interesting how this comes up, since I was just talking to Benny about this on AIM yesterday. As in the interest in Pokemon that is. I, like warriorgaz have pretty much lost interest in every Pokemon branch out there and it all just seems like the same thing with a couple tweaks here and there. The topic for this forum is dry (to me at least), the concept of a "forum" is becoming dry for many people these days, and it just seems like we can not pull this off anymore. When I come on here, it is not because I want to talk about pokemon or want to watch episodes, it is because I want the site to live and be what it once was. That has become an obvious near impossibility. Benny you say this is the end of an era, but the problem is this the end of the second of two eras. The first being the "PMC" era the second being the "Slowly lose hope and die out" era. That right there is the sad and hurtfull truth. Greatlord tried, and did well. But due to many people of this forum failed. Benny tried many things, but none of them stayed strong. All of our other staff members have not said a word like they were all practically ignoring us. As for me, all I have done since the beggining is be active and participate in everything. The question now is: what do you want to let go of and what do you want to hold on to here? That is something we all have to decide individually.
Wow this really sucks, Flygon99

Ive said it before , and flygon just reminded me there.its not all our fault.i think just forums in general are dying out.
well at least forums such as this. youl find "official ones" wont as much , but they still are.
but i dont want this board to die.as in , dont delete it. anyone. in a few mnths time , all it mite take is one person , lost on the internet , who finds this , joins up , asks " hello?anyone there?" for us to all login and welcome this person. because thats the kind of people we are.no one here is a bad person.you just dont know what mite happen in the futre.
and sure , pokemon pretty much is a dead phase. but whos to say it wont come back? look at things these days!
thunder cats pacman space raiders teenage mutant ninja turtles.
all it could take is for someone to have an amazingly great pokemon idea , that works (possible live movie in the next few years?just an idea.CGI today is advancing all the time , its incredible...) and everyones into it again!
i think its perfectly understandable to "give up" right now.
only id ask everyone to do one thing.
dont say your "giving up"
just
take a break for a while
thers always a chance you mite come back...

I agree with everyone on everything of what has been said here, yes i am one of those who does not contribute to this place because i do not know how except make threads and post but i can't do that without inspiration without something popping into my head and make me think of that subject. I continue to watch Pokemon, almost one a day but mainly just once a week but even watching Pokemon doesn't give the inspiriation.
It's whats happening outside the internet that has gotten me so downed, i havn't told a soul of anything of...my personal problems and no offense, i won't tell any of you unless well meh so there, that's my HONEST truthul answer and no it's not a counter argument since i agree with everything said in this board.
However i do have to say this one thing which i believe is the most important, thegreatlord, you have been one of the most greatest members of this board and as sad as it will be to see you go with honest answers, i salute you....or rather wish you luck.

hmm...the thick memories hope to despair.I`ve alwyas wanted to be someone, on a regular basis, and this forum is pretty much the only place I could do it, other than school.With work ahead of me, and posting regularily, things are pretty much quiet throughout.As I think to myself, wow, this place is really qiet, all of a sudden.Well this doesn`t oppose to back then in 2006, where I signed up, and pretty much had fun.And for the new pmc event, benny, I`ll get to you on that, only one more thing to finish, graduation.For now, I see, greatlord`s point and I read all of your remarks, this place is really dying and we can`t do anything about it.Wait patiently...as I say to myself, and things will come to you.so this is my remark.

That reminds me of a song i love. its new tho.
"Over and out," she said from a hospital bed "For what it's worth, it doesn't hurt, don't cry" "Over and out," he said with a .45 to his head "The war has taken everything from me, it's all I've seen"
So run for cover as fast as you can We're fighters, lovers, enemies, friends And guns and knives apologize for leaving you tonight Leaving you tonight
"Over and out," he sighed. "It seems I've run out of time Please tell my wife I loved her more than life itself" "Over and out," she sang as the telephone rang "There's no pain, no answering no more, no"
So run for cover as fast as you can We're fighters, lovers, enemies, friends And guns and knives apologize for leaving you
Run for cover and you'll find us there We'll take out the anguish, make it disappear With hand grenades and napalm flames, I'm leaving you tonight
Let this candle burn 'til you get home Never forget your face, never lose hope Tonight
Run for cover as fast as you can We're fighters, lovers, enemies, friends And pens and knives apologize for leaving you
Run for cover and you'll find us there (over and out) We'll take on the anger, make it disappear (over and out) With razorblades we're softly serenading you
Performed by : Alkaline Trio Song : Over and Out Album : Agony and Irony Year : 2008
