Well it's nice to know how everyone feels about PP, and the fact that I came from there originally makes me very offended by some of the comments I've seen here.

I'm sorry I wasn't good enough of a member from Poke Portal for you all.

And Karen, I still can't believe you, I really can't, you may be the worst of all considering you were a staple of Poke Portal and a well known member. Just because Brian's there now it's suddenly to be avoided completely like the plague? It's interesting to know how highly you regard Brian that simply his presence there trumps every other person who might be there, I thought there were people there that you liked and respected. Then again I guess I shouldn't talk, I haven't returned either, but I certainly wouldn't insult the place.

-BBM

Brian isn't the only reason.

@Jonny - And remember how after the merge the PP ended up failing?
Then what's your problem, Karen? Why suddenly is Poke Portal SO horrible that you want to avoid it at all costs?

And Matthew, I get the vibe that that Staff comment may have something to do with me, correct me if I'm wrong. But as of right now, I'm the most active Admin here.

And Shaun makes a good point, I do have the Root Account, and being the only active Admin here, I'll assume 'control' until you all have decided whom you want to replace George. I'm not holding the board hostage or becoming power hungry, I think it only makes sense, someone has to promote a new 'Head' Admin here, so that should be me as the active Admin.

Afterwards, I'll probably be around here a lot less because I don't think I feel as welcome here as I once did, judging by all of the negativity towards Poke Portal, which is undeniably an integral part of my proverbial 'internet roots'.

Nope. I meant to say that if the boards were to be merged, and if the staff on BB would like to be staff on PP, they'd have to earn it, unlike last time.

Ah, very well. I understand.

I know there was a bit of a clash with that. In fact, I was involved in a situation regarding that myself, if I remember correctly, but I digress.

Actually, I've been anti-PP for a good while now.

Because of the shitty treatment I got after Spooky became head admin? Because the fucking site WILL become 100% drama, and 0% Pokémon? Because it's interesting how it suddenly sprung up when Javier/Brianfail were banned here? I see it as little more than an attempt at competing with this site, and Javier's way of getting back at George. May not be the case, but that's how I see it.

The fact the PP's had too many problems in the past? The fact I've found a better site here? The fact the PP will lose it's aim, and become a poor copy of this site? Brian's there, I want keep as away from him as I can. Oh, and a few other discrepancies in the past (mainly involving the crap after Spooky), which I'm not forgetting, nor forgiving. The PP has lost my loyalty, and I can't be asked to get involved with it again.


Edit:- Sorry if I cause offence to anyone, but that's how it is for me.

No, Karen, I'M sorry. Really. I don't even know what to think of you anymore.

Although I would like to point out that at this point in time, I haven't heard anything about Spooky returning and taking over as Head Admin on there yet, so anything regarding her is somewhat invalid until she actually shows up there with the intent of returning as Head Admin. And though you admit that there's a chance Javier re-opened the board not as a way to 'compete' with this board but just because, you still just think otherwise anyway because it's "How you see it". Well fine, see things your way, but I'll see things my way, then. And regarding you, it's not good.

You're not the only one who can be stubborn.

That's very well and all, and the crap with Spooky is in the past, but, it still helped with rubbing the PP the wrong way against me.

And yeah I did have a think about it after saying that, and to be honest, given the timing, I'm fairly sure that's what Javier's aims were. I mean, it's very convienient for a competitor with this site to suddenly return out of the blue like that after what happened earlier this week. Which is even more unforgivable. Ahh well, all the more reason for me to shun the PP, I suppose.

And yes, stubborness, one of the things I can be good at.

Why does it have to be a competition? He WAS banned from this site so where else was he supposed to go? It almost makes more sense that he would go there because I don't think there was anywhere else to turn. And it's only a competition if YOU make it one. Everybody has the right to post wherever they want to. It's a separate board as of now, and it should just be viewed that way. I mean, it's not like every board with a similar purpose are competitors. When Poke Portal was originally opened, we didn't think we were competing with Smogon or Serebii, did we? No. The forums on those sites were completely separate.

Anyway, I don't even know why I'm arguing with you, I haven't gone back to PP, either. I guess I feel compelled to defend it because I was an active member on PP longer than anyone else, I believe, or very close to it.

And as a side note, I have removed George as an Admin, because if he is no longer capable of running the board as was mentioned earlier in this topic, I didn't think there was a need to keep him one, as I can simply promote whomever it is that you all choose to take his place. If only I could have a couple of words with him first. George, I mean.

Competition because ultimately, we have very similar aims, a fairly similar member base, etc. Activity there will have an impact on us here, and vice-versa, seeing as we have shared members. And it's competition if we have to close this site because of the PP. Unless of course, we kept this site going and didn't close it/merge it/whatever.

And meh, I would be defending the PP if it hadn't completely pissed me off in the past... I was loyal to it once. Ahh well. Suppose I can have that function for this site, I guess.

And also meh, I don't nesscesarily agree with removing George as an Admin here. It seems too much like we've given up and just looking to replace him here, which I personally don't think will go down too well with him. But then again, seeing as the PP's back, and this is sparked in part by the PP, so it's a similar scenario, when since has my opinion counted for anything... Feels a bit like the PP all over again.

Well it sounded like George won't be able to be an active member anymore, much less an active admin, and this thread is actually supposed to be a poll to vote on whether to stay or not, and if the board stays, then someone else has to 'run' it, so I don't think there's anything wrong with removing George as Admin if someone's going to end up taking his spot.

FOR THE INFORMATION OF ANYONE CONCERNED ABOUT HOW THE MERGE FAILED

We are all older and a lot more mature than we were when we attempted a merge before. There will be no drama like there was last time, as we are all old enough and experiences enough to realise there is no point in it. If we all make just a little effort to get along, the boards could really blossom together.

And then eventually the boards will die down becoming dull and void like the usually do.

This could be a real oppurtunity.

5-0 for staying so far.
Looks like we'll be staying for now.
Short and sweet my views are:
1. The fucking drama never ends.
2. I want to stay on one of these small community boards or whatever you call them.
3. That one board is BB.
4. Older or not, seeing as no one voted to merge so far it would most likely be a negative thing for a lot of member if we merged.

I don't know, the BB seems to generally pull through, it's the PP that fails and dies.

But maybe for once its not about 'pulling through' and just surviving.

Maybe its about making an epic board which loads of people will really enjoy over the summer.

Yar, this be true. BB is teh shiz, in a good way.

If George doesn't want to be an Admin any more, and Mark does, then I guess Mark should become an Admin. Maybe. We should have an undemocratic way of deciding.

6 now, but I'd say Karen even though she kind of declined earlier.
If she really doesn't want to though, I guess Mark because he's pretty determined.
