December Community Thread! The November Community thread has been moved here.If you're new here then don't be shy! The community thread is the place to come and chat with fellow members of the site who share a common interest with you. Talk about whatever you want, whether it's GPX related or something going on in your personal life, just be sure to read the rules first before posting. There's always someone on the forums to read and respond to your posts, so chat away and maybe you'll meet some great people! Rules- Regular forum rules still apply here. Basically don't double post. Don't ask for clicks every time you fill your party. Unless it gets out of hand*, I'm okay with you linking to an exploration Pokemon who needs a specific berry.
*out of hand meaning I don't want to see Pokémon being linked just for leveling or if they need drinks for happiness. These kinds of interactions can be handled just fine by being in your parties and signatures.
- Do not post your shinies here, there's a shiny thread for that. Discussing them is OK though! Just make sure you add content to your post.
- Make sure your post contains worthwhile content. If you're posting an exploration Pokémon to be fed berries then be sure to add other content to your post. Same with discussing shinies. Find people to reply to or start a discussion yourself! Your post must, with the shiny portion and berry feeding hypothetically removed*, not read as if you're talking to yourself. To clarify, your post should not be an out-loud thought to yourself, and should contain more general discussion than just information on your current shiny luck.
*if you were to read your post, skipping over any mention of shinies, the post should still sound like a good post.
If any posts are found breaking this rule then they will be instantly deleted and handed a 10% warn.
- Do not post your GPX+ gear grinders in this thread either. There's also a thread for that. This is mostly for raging at staff or site events that you don't like.
Hopefully helpful examples! (click to showhide) Okay: Ugh, snow again! D; Dragon type for the Poke Hunt again??? ):
An off-handed comment that is in no way malicious like this is fine. You can always add an emoticon to help add to the not serious effect, but that it is only a small annoyance.
Not okay: Ugh, snow again! Why can't staff do something to change this!? Dragon type for the Poke Hunt again??? This is stupid, someone NEEDS to change this or do something about it. Where is the - New Feature - that was suppose to happen? They said it was going to be a month ago, so where is it!?
This is more ragey and is trying to throw shade at the site and staff. Either examples can be thrown in the gear grinder thread just fine, but this kind of anger is what I want to avoid in this thread. I hoped this helped explain.. (:
- Do not litter your post with swear words.
- Memes and Gifs are allowed, but don't overuse them. If the thread turns into nothing but meme and gif replies, I'll give everyone a 10% warn that was involved because it's just plain out spam! Make sure you put these in a spoiler tag.
- No quote pyramids! Be sure to cut out everything that was before what you're replying to. They can get long and make a page annoying to scroll through, so be considerate to your fellow members!
- A post must be AT LEAST one sentence long. If you’re saying hi or bye to someone be sure to add something more to your post.
- If you'd like to advertise something, then be sure you put it in your signature. Youtube, Deviantart (No smut), Fanfication (No smut), Twitch, adoptable sites, your own minecraft servers are all fine. If you Live stream give a heads up that you're live, but be sure to add content. Don't just link dump. Send a PM if you have any questions about anything else!

QUOTE This will be the last egg distribution for the foreseeable future. The community threads will continue, but they will no longer be monthly, nor will there be an incentive to participate in them. Not sure how I feel about this. Granted that the site is slowly dying for the past two years (kinda funny that the community threads started to go downhill around the time that I gave up on the forums), but I feel like this is pulling one of the last plugs, unless there's something coming to replace it. On one hand this was inevitable. People grow, interest dissipates, real life starts to take over. Besides all of this, I'm sure that the staff has taken money out of their pockets to maintain the server and whatnot. Not counting hours to draw sprites and write explorations. On the other hand, I feel like there was so much to be done that could pump that much needed life onto this. Social networks/community managers to advertise and gather newcomers (something that could have been done last year when PoGO was released) was one of them. Revamping the trinket market, revamping the Inventory page, revamping the PC page, breeding incentives. Not to talk about some QoL features and the blantely obvious Achievements. Heck, even more variety in Scavenger tasks would help. And it's obvious that none of these suggestions will come to life when there's only one person with a job and a family (aka that has very little spare time) able to code. And I know that giving someone access to that kind of stuff is risky. But at this point, is there really something to lose? Anyway, this is just me venting. Not at the staff, but at fate. We grew so many good memories in here that it saddens me to see things like this. But there's still time to change it. At least I hope so.

And yeah, it would be wonderful if all of the things you mentioned could be implemented. However, it really is a matter of time and interest. Not to mention that some of these things aren't as simple as they might seem (specifically Achievements). There are things planned, I can assure that, but an entire overhaul is not in the cards. I do love the site a lot and have had a fantastic history here, and I don't blame anyone for being upset about its current low-activity status.

I would like another person to be given the ability to code things onto the site as well, but as you mentioned it's not an easy thing to do. I do hope that one day we may see some more life brought back into the site. I'm absolutely fine with low-activity though, I mean, it would be awesome to have even more but the people who still play, are pretty dedicated to sticking with this game, and that's really nice to see. ![happy.gif](style_emoticons/red/happy.gif) Low-activity beats site shutdown any day of the week!
