I use PXR Because....

[Fraised]

One of the things that inspired me to join this forum back when I did is... well, the fact that forum boards themselves feel as though they're becoming somewhat obsolete thanks to the rise of other social media platforms. They were an enormous part of my childhood on the internet, and I'm happy to see that some are still thriving here and there; especially since the one(s) that I got my start on have all either fallen away to inactivity, or been completely shut down in the years since. x x

But... on the opposite side of the coin (and as mentioned by some of the other replies here), the handful of other Pokémon-related boards that I've tried tend to be too thriving if they aren't suffering from not having enough active members. It's led to me being unable to really connect with anyone at best, and leaving one of them due to feeling ignored each time I've tried to participate in activities and conversations there for the several years I've been a member...

I haven't been on PXR in a long while as of writing this. But I've always liked the size of this community and how tightly-knit it seems! I just tend to forget to drop by as often as I'd like to, on top of being extremely shy. But I would probably rank PXR as one of the Pokémon boards I've most enjoyed spending time on.
