Yep, I'm here now.

[Bloom]

Ok, I've contemplated this for months. I honestly would have never considered joining this place for various reasons, but its past midnight and my skewed judgement is compelling me to do some arbitrary decisions.

I am many things... I am a friend, an enemy, a nuisance, a know it all, an overachiever, an artist, a competitive battler, a random homosapien, a person of many nicknames, a Raltsy persona, and so forth.

For those of you who know me, this is my way of somehow keeping in touch because you all ignore me on Skype, except Plato. For those of you who do not know me, I am not one to be viewed little of, though I am very kind and courteous to those who emulate good morality and kindhearted typed responses.

Whenever I post, I focus on neutrality. I don't plan on posting a lot, but when I do... just be prepared to see the bombarding paragraphs of my ranting subconscious. (I'm kind of surprised this topic hasn't turned into a super long jumble of words. I'll keep it short for now...)

Furthermore, I do hope that my presence will not be a burden here. I read all of the rules, I memorized all of the forum etiquette I already know of, and if my disposition seems a bit pessimistic at times, please do say so. My emotions are usually controlled, but my ranting usually is seen as something of a negative manner when it is not directed to be.

Something I noticed here is that the different forum skin designs are kind of bland. The banners are marvelous, but the skin could seriously use some work. You guys also have A LOT of moderators for such a small community, I mean are there really that many things to control? Also, by now you all probably hate me..... so I'll just stop typing for being a skeptical little Ralts. (I tried my best to control the rant-ish antics -.-) Let me just wrap this up now before I start an infestation of remarks.

Hello everyone of Crossroads. I am Intel, and I am finally a member here.

[BisharpBlade]

YES YOU ARE BACK! WHY DID YOU LEAVE US!

*cough* I feel like a stalker now that I'm up at such a late hour at the same time as you (and god we live in the same area, odd.)

[Bloom]

I left for good reasons, mainly to not have to worry about pleasing everyone and living up to expectations that were all in my head. After a month or two I was finally relaxed and calm, yet extremely bored. So here I am, up late battling and working on some digital fabrications and I thought, "Let's go down memory lane!" After cleaning out the Pokecreations, I felt some weird urge to check up on Eeveelution Resort and PokePavillion and they are practically dead. So I though it was time to finally join here and see what you all have been up to.

[BisharpBlade]

That is true. Feeling that you owe someone something by keeping them company, especially online can be difficult.

I was made mod here, and I'm not too sure what the expectations require, but I've recently made the decision to try at least to be somewhat of a helpful member and live up to what a moderator is (although I barely know what I am doing, that can be a small secret as soon as I get my ***** together). I'm also not too thrilled at the implication I have made here that spriting here on PXR isn't as big as it was on PS a long time ago (ever since Johan turned PS into his stomping ground for bans and sticter rules, which ultimately led him to close down the forum).

Overall it's nice to see you again. You were the only few PS members I actually liked.

I think you'd have to try really hard and set that as a goal for it to fall into effect. xD

I agree that we have a lot of mods, but they tend to be more focused on the places that need them. Some places don't have mods while other sections have a few. It's not up to regular members; it's up to those who oversee the sections of the forum that get the most traffic, and guards are assigned so we don't have any issues, or so that mods can help each other out and be there for others if they need help or when they're not there. ASB is a good example of one such section. It's not in vain. :]

WELCOME TO PXR! 8D I'm sure you'll fit in here so don't you worry about that. We're all a bunch of crazy, weird, friendly people who love a good chat and a good time. Well, mostly, anyway. xD I'm looking forward to getting to know you!

Hey I.N. Glad to see you could make it~! ^w^

[ray_quazaa]

*banhammer for criticism*

just kidding! The good thing with more mods is that when one has to do... homework or something IRL, we have someone else to pick up the slack... right? It's an organizational structure that some prefer and some do not.

And also, if you want to help with skinning, we're definitely looking for more skinners!

I think skeptics are good, and I encourage you to continue to be skeptical. We have a suggestions board for ideas and comments that you have. An organization that's stagnant is always falling behind.

[Grassy_Aggron]

Hiya! Welcome, welcome, you don't sound pessimistic at all. A bit nervous maybe, but you have very good reason to be if that was how you were treated before. On PXR, however, you won't get any of that - just do what you want, and what you feel you can do, and if anyone gives you trouble tell 'em that there is a report button with their name on it. Hehehe.

Oooh, if you could help us with the skins, that'd be much appreciated. We love seeing new artwork~

[DarkNerd]

Evening Intel. Good to see ya.
Welcome to PXR.
I'm sorry I don't know what else to say. It's been a while. We should talk more.

[Braixen]

Based on the OP of this post I have decided that . . . I like you! You seem like an interesting and intelligent person and I am happy that you've joined these forums. I look forward to your rants. I consider myself an artist as well, so I look forward to seeing your creations and being inspired.

Welcome, Intel!
