Welcome to a forum. You just might be asking yourself where Firebot, Congregation, and/or Internet Renaissance are. Bad news: they weren't getting along too well, and now they're gone. Long gone. A moment of silence, please.
. . .
The good news: enter a forum. This is now your one stop shop for general, and generally non-Pokemon, posting fun times. It is not the place to spew moronic or offensively unfunny bullshit. We're sorry to say that such a place does not - and will never - exist on Smogon. So what does go here? Put simply, anything that you feel, in your heart of hearts, would contribute to what is now Smogon's primary social forum. Intelligent discussion is welcome. Funny threads are more than welcome. Talk about music, games, sex, drugs. Whatever. Really.
This is not a merger of Congregation and Firebot. This is not a merger of Congregation and Firebot. This is not a merger of Congregation and Firebot. Congregation is dead. Firebot is dead. Enter a forum with a totally open mind. To assist in the transition, we've moved over some recent threads from the recently fallen forums that we think serve as decent examples of what we want (but remember, they're just examples and not at all exhaustive). We encourage you to make many an awesome new thread. And when you mess up, well, you're at the mercy of our delightful moderating staff. They'll take good care of you. But don't worry too much - warnings will only be given out when genuinely merited, and not at all liberally.
If you still have any questions, ask them here. Judiciously. Exercise some common sense. In the meantime, post away. a forum is your oyster. Also, read the rules thread.
Thanks!
[edit by Hipmonlee] - Mentlegen summed up the reasoning for this nicely here.
In other words, we think this forum will be better than Cong and firebot and IR.
Also, we are not in the least interested in whether you think this will work or not. Give it a chance, or ragequit, but bear in mind we will probably just delete any posts you make in the process.
