All I can say is WOW!
Damn it's good to see so many familiar faces about.
It's incredible to see Morrigan, Joey, Andrew, Dani, Kat and March! I know some of you have expressed some guilt for being away for lengthy periods of time but I've said it before and I'll say it again, everyone who has contributed to this community, its history and the creation of ZapdosZulu is welcome back at any time in my mind!
I am sorry I haven't been back for a visit in a long time. Life gets in the way as you all know but I can say that everything's going well on my end. Where I have lacked the leadership, I have to give huge thanks to Tiki for keeping this place alive and kicking. You are a stalwart and your work ethic is something that should be publicly commended. Thanks also to the rest of the modding team that have worked hard and remained loyal (wolfquest, avalon, tarlar)! Your efforts really don't go unnoticed.
I'm not sure if I can be much help these days. My knowledge has become a little obsolete haha. Can you believe it's been over 5 years since this place was created in anticipation of the releases of the Heartgold and Soulsilver versions? Now we have progressed 2 generations, discovered 200+ more Pokemon and from my limited knowledge of Gen VI, we have a new type now, horde battles and mega-evolutions too.
Despite the world changing around us, it is amazing to see that some things remain constant and that's the rich, vibrant community is still full of dedicated and wonderful people. I still dream of the day that someone actually reaches the end of the roleplay and beats the Elite 4. Has it happened in 5 years? No, but maybe in 10 or 20! I'm confident of seeing it in my lifetime at least.
I hope to hang about and help out where I can, tying up any loose ends that need tying. I know that Ilex Forest is currently broken. This is because version 5 of proboards removed html coding in posts with the creation of plugins. I saw it coming at the start of last year and it had long been a bugbear of mine seeing them take a backwards step in forum functionality. But apparently... and I don't want to get people's hopes up... but I've been doing some research and in the last few months or so, a plugin may have been created for it.

So, I hope to test it out and maybe see if I can restore Ilex to its former glory again.
Anyway, for those that are wondering, I saved all the coding and images for it here (only admins can access it by the way). But fingers crossed this new plugin will work. It's something I've been waiting for a long time!
