Oh, I find them annoying too. It's a silly tradition established when I was twelve or thirteen and everybody was doing it, and I've since made an effort to make it unobtrusive by making it just redirect to the front page if you have a style cookie - I never even see it unless I specifically click it on the menu.

What with how by now I no longer have easy access to a scanner and only have a piece-of-junk tiny laptop mouse to use with my daily-use computer, though, it's become harder to even keep the tradition up properly, so at this point I really might as well put it away. Maybe I can later resurrect the tradition in some form that doesn't involve forcing people to go through hoops before entering the site for the first time.

> Oh, and suddenly 4,500,000 front page hits! Thanks for that. Now excuse me while I panic about how I should have had a new splash ready by this point.

Might i humbly suggest that you retire the splash page? Personally i find splash pages in general to be annoying, and i'm sorry to say that TCoD's is no exception. They're also bad for usability, if you believe people like Jakob Nielsen.

Yeah, Bayleafqween, I think it's been an issue for most everyone. The past two days haven't been as bad as the few before it, however.

Has anyone else have difficulty getting on the forums? I've been getting the "Too busy!" message thing every time I get on.

Whoo! Forums back up. I think.

Red… Skunktank….Can. Not. Un. See.

I'm pretty sure that was a shiny Pokemon~Yep :P

One word about the newest update:…wow.

And, yet, it, somehow….doesn't suprise me too much. o.o' As, ya know. Yellow is based off the anime and all…still was an epic discovery, regardless!^-^

Now, before this post gets in, i'm gonna try to 'random the vertification pokemon for shinies'….hmn~

Umn….I need a mouse clicking break @_@;

Having the same problem here. Haven't been able to access the forums for a few days now.

So there's nothing you can really do then?

I've been getting the busy thing as well. =/

Huh. I don't actually see the busy-time, because the forum software gives administrator accounts priority. To my knowledge nothing has changed, but then again this whole server being busy thing has never made any sense to begin with.

Same, Spoon and …! I actually haven't been able to post since the 9th.

[13/12/2012 04:19:07]

Spoon

…, same here. I've checked it fairly regularly and have only had one moment to actually post. Going by the archives and that single moment that the forum was non-busy, it seems that the server being busy has gotten to fairly ridiculous levels.

[13/12/2012 04:00:07]

...

I don't know if it's just me, but the forums appear to have been busy for the past few days. There hasn't been a single non-busy moment for me.

Great writing, Butterfree. Must everything be so sad though? Letaligon left, Lapras gone, Tyranitar disappeared… I thought Scyther was gone too, but nah. :)

when I finished all current chapters, I checked out the spin-offs. Scyther's Story was good, so was Spirit, and I have yet to read Nightmare.

The Fall Of A Leader… well, geez. What is with you, and characters dying? I liked Pearl and, kinda sorta, Shadowdart. I mean sure, great emotional impact, but not the kind I was looking for. Still, good writing.

Love the sprites. And the Rainbow Umbreon just made me grin.
And you have so many interesting things that made my glad that I looked around your site.
I'll be coming back every chance I get now to see what's new.

Jirachu

Thank you x3; I wanna try reading it again sometime. I'm just still kind of confused by some of the 'dark' language choices and stuff, though (being an aspie can be difficult, ya know..).

I wonder what chapter it is at now though. :)

I need to try writing my own fanfiction again someday too. Maybe Pokemon or Kingdom Hearts related. They were never really serious, fanficts I writen, though….so i'm not *sure* if I can write non 'InSaNe' stuff or not. .-.; But I guess it could be worth a shot. Butterfree can be very inspirational. :3

Scyther

Quest For The Legends, my friend. I read all the current chapters in both versions. Butterfree needs to write faster :(

So, will Letaligon ever be back? … no? D*:

[08/12/2012 15:30:08]

Jirachu

Is Scyther talking about a fanfict on this website? o.o'

[07/12/2012 00:16:16]

Scyther

So far, Lapras is gone and Letaligon is half crazy… this is gonna be interesting ^-^
