The amount of times I've clicked the banner by habit, only to be led to the main site...

FUCK!

Also while that's probably true about having to compete with WPM, it's really time to face the facts and admit that SPP is and has always been a hard site to compete with for anyone, except for when it's down and not by any means pathetic. Dislikable reputation, sure, but it's a joke to say that it's pathetic in competition. If it weren't for SPP having content first all the time, yes, it probably would be a pathetic slam-worthy site, but that's the important factor here. Not like anyone would expect kiyone to understand that, though

Although I haven't been here for the process, congrats!

And..

I agree very much with shazza and Zak on the banner. That thing has confused me nonstop the past few days. I always expect to return to the forum index, and it seems like a lot of others are feeling that way. I mean.. it's swell to have a quick link to the main site, but for convenient (lazy?) navigational purposes, a link back to the forum index just feels right. It makes forum browsing nice and.. smoooooth.

We have one, it's blue letters right under it that read "The PokeMasters Forums".

I'm still habitually clicking the banner sometimes, and I'm sure most of you are, but we'll get used to it eventually.

Yes, that is what I have been using.. It's just a habit to click on a banner to get where I need to go. Not a big deal of course. Forum instinct can be adjusted.

You'd be surprised how easy it is to compete with PokeBeach. I know for a fact that WPM rips all of the pre-release information from Joe. In fact, I have a screenshot that somebody showed me about an hour ago of PokeBeach copying a deliberate error made by Joe about a HGSS Gym Leader's Pokemon. :/ Also, have you seen how popular PokeBeach is lately? It's booming. And, for a website that does all of these shady things, it really makes you wonder... It can't be that hard to compete with them, can it?

I've also been told that Joe is having a difficult time finding a HGSS ROM, despite quite a few people in Japan having access to the game already. It wouldn't be hard at all finding somebody who really hates Serebii.net and wants its competitors to have a serious advantage.

The real obstacle, however, is finding enough people here who are dedicated enough to the new website to update it rather frequently. ^^; Don't get me wrong; Jeff, Telume and all the others who helped with the revival project did a great job, but finding people with long-term dedication is an obvious shortcoming.

I'm sorry. I've really sidetracked this topic, haven't I? XD
