Default Not quite an introduction, but close enough.

I've been away from Victory Road since September 2, 2010. Next month, my absence would be a full two years. A testament to just how steadfast this site has been.

As you can see, I did quite a bit of posting then but eventually just fell off due to school. However, I've always thought of this site as the go-to resource for a friendly, open community that's always up-to-date on the Pokemon fandom. It was only a matter of time until I would return. ^^

I never did manage to get those 100 posts to get rid of the ads. ._.

That being said...I recognize a few people here and there. I remember the drawing threads, I remember gym battles at one point, I remember the Arcade fondly...These pokepet things are kind of different, aren't they...? But I haven't been around for a while.

Anyone willing to give me a rundown of any other new things that were added? What's the most popular thing going on? What happened to the old chatroom client- does that work anymore or exist?

Thanks! By the way, I'm Azu and it is truly a pleasure to meet you or see you again, if we've met before.

I could've sworn I've seen you at least once before. I, too, took a long absence from VR, but I came back too (if it wasn't obvious enough by me posting here). As for what's new - the Gym League shut down and is reopening soon and the adopts have been changed from Victory Battles to the Adoption Center. Those are the two biggest changes to VR. There are some other smaller changes, but I'm sure you'll figure them out as you go.

Glad to see you're back and I hope you decide to stick around for awhile.

Welcome back~ Gee, time flies really fast, doesn't it? There's always something in here that seems to make members stick around for a long time, even though we're small... or maybe it's because we're small.

Thanks guys!
@Quadcentruo : YOU!!!!!!! I USED TO GET IN ARCADE SCORE COMPETITIONS WITH YOU BEFORE THE ARCADE WAS REALLY NOTICED. I remember putting messages in back and forth taunting you when either of us beat the other. Eventually I couldn't keep up and you took all my trophies. xD You're a moderator now, congratulations! (probably very late)

Thanks! Anyone know why the chat was discontinued? I thought it was so neat to be able to bother everyone at all hours outside of the forum.

@Fubab_107 : I remember your name, but I don't remember why I know you. It's nice to see you again though. :3

@GTP_NickSkyline : I recognize the latter half of your name (I always have loved the word skyline), but not the acronym. Have you changed it since then?

Thank you all for such a warm welcome! <3 It's good to see that some things haven't changed even though others have. I can't wait to get to know all of you.

I've had it for a few months now.

The acronym at the beginning is called a "tag"; when gaming Online, it helps distinguish you from everyone else to show that you are a member of a community of some sort. I use the "GTP_" tag, hence I'm a member of a Gran Turismo fansite called GTPlanet.

I'm just going to wing it here: if a Pokémon game ever came our for the Xbox 360 or PS3, I wonder what tag the members of Victory Road would use...I'll assume "VR_", which stands for Victory Road.
