PCA~ (One of my few important messages.)
15 years ago
People have been saying this shit's been dying for three years now. ... So where is it? At the moment after some talks I can't help but feel annoyed but also kind of amused by this fact. People have probably said it even longer than that, perhaps since its very conception. Yet it remains a place for people to hang out and socialize.
People pay too much attention to groupings and ideas they make up in their own heads. The fact of the matter is that when you join the PCA you do so as an equal with a huge number of peers at your disposal to talk to and interact with. I only apologize that I'm so unreliable for steady contact here on FA and resultingly don't have such a strong personal link to much of the community. But still in the end of the day, "hey, they're a PCAer. Rad."
In short? Setting's not going away any time soon. People need to stop bitching about other groupings of friends and learn to be light hearted and willing to go with the flow. Nobody really forces anything on people here and it's a fun and easy place for any pokemon nerds to go to just kinda hop into a community. The PCA hub is officially three years and a month old, and the project itself was born around January 21st, 2007, at the very latest based on
KaeMantis submitting Weaver and becoming the third member. Making it at least three and a half. Here's to hoping to a nice and long future with many new members continuing to flow in and some great times for everyone willing to have them.
EDIT: To further discuss the groups thing, this quote from
PCADuck seems like a perfect analogy. "every little group of friends playing in the PCA is a different ship in a fleet. Each has it's own rules, it's own captains and it's own adventures, but they all sail under the same flag"

From what I see as a PCAer with half a year of contribution on my record, this place is far from dying out, new peeps pop out every few days, bringing multiple new charas and chances to interact. Maybe we don't see the older generation charas that we grew to love that much as we did, but it's ok, they had their time and still are around, ready to show up again. Meanwhile, the pantheon of noteworthy charas grows and grows...
