What editorial thing? We had(ve) a lot of things going, budpalsquishything, so I don't know what you mean. qq

Rotom-F (the fan, I forget its letter) runs over this with Air Slash/HP Ice. Otherwise good team.

For whatever reason, I only understood it after Bullet said that.

Can't tell if serious or if an Ametroll escaped captivity.

Not back from vacation yet but I'm on my way home so... BOOM I'm alright with a camera, but the one we had was low on battery power, we had no extra batteries (old camera) and the lens was scratched/broken, so the pictures aren't amazing. I also didn't take a whole lot because I wanted to enjoy the city more than take pictures. Anyway, here they are! New York Niagara Falls I'll add some later with pics of what I bought while at New York... c':

/d lost their Flash HM in Dark Cave PLEASE

Actually, communities usually do have an awards type thing at the end of the year. The staff makes up categories, then sometime near the end of the year, they are posted in individual threads asking for nominations of the best x of that year, etc. I'd love for this to be done. :3

TerraTerraTerraTerraTerraTerraTerraTerraTerraTerra Anyway, sounds fun.

That's where I'm hung up on. Anything that can breed healthy, friendly discussion while also adding firm and true opinions on whatever topic we decide to touch on, whether it be something that's happened in the community or something even more general. Any ideas there?

>kpop fan where have you been all my life?

I've been thinking and considering this for awhile now; where has the community togetherness gone and could we try to get it back? Recently, over the past few months, Reborn has been growing from what used to be a very small, tight-knit community of about twenty-five people. Tops. They would talk on the chat, hang out into the wee hours of the night until just a couple remained, they would participate in the popular Reborn League and they would have good old fashioned general discussions on the forums, and they knew about each other. They talked endlessly and became more knowledgable about who each person was more than just pixels on a simulator or an avatar on a forum. Now, Reborn has become quite a bit larger than before, and most people can agree. A daily average of nearly sixty people is no laughing matter in contrast to what the community used to be. With such numbers comes a divergance in what we used to know. We still have our connections sprinkled here and there, but they are very arbitrary to find, and now that we have new members, the awareness of everyone around us is becoming to wear thin. We don't know much about our new friends, and our new friends don't know much about or old, dusty skeletons of selves that have been in this community for nearly two, even three years (for the real skeleton veterans). What I'm proposing is that we start doing more to raise this community awareness. We start to break out of our shells and get to know the new people and even let them know about us. We have the Trainer Journal that lets us relay what's going on in our lives, and we have our status updates and whatnot, but... suppose we go further? Some ways we can do this is by coming together and actually doing something as a community that we can all benefit from and even learn a few things as a result! The reason I'm posting this is because I'd love if everyone pitched into giving ideas for us to really get together and do more. However, I do have a few ideas. VLogs. I'm sure we've all heard of VLogs, which stands for 'video logs.' What we do in these is basically record ourselves answering questions that other members have asked us and would like to know. This can give us a sense of actually knowing who we talk to and battle. If we were to do this, why/not (dat pokemon) actually have sign ups for people to check in on and when someone's turn comes around, they actually get people to PM them questions that they can answer in a VLog? Of course, VLogs aren't limited to questions, but that's the foundation. Community editorial. We can start a community discussion weekly/daily on a certain topic having to do with something extremely general and ask for opinions of everyone and make an editorial out of it so everyone gets to know more of other's views on certain topics and the like. That's all I have at the moment, but we can get this going with more suggestions as to what to do to raise our community's used-to-be-well-known feeling of being very tight-knit. Together, we will accomplish! c;

Sorry, I lol'd pretty good here. >_> And yeah, my first impressions were on the size of the server, but everyone seemed so close and when the League started every weeknight, the server expanded and was so happy and chubby...

The title says it all; what were some of your first impressions of Reborn/how did you feel about it and the people?

Ametrain, are you expected to have to do this every month?

If both parties need something, they could find someone with it.
