well ok, why not?
It all started with a crazy person who loved Fire Pokemon o.o (ME!^_^) I started this team on PUK which was very unoriginally called Team Magma(being the fire fan i was.Afteri did that everyone else wanted a teamXDSo im pretty sure u can thank me for starting the everyone wanting to own a team thing.Or it cuda been a coincedence.) I THINK I met Fire God before i started my TM.(the reason we met was because of the jackogirl thing going on.he had asked me what was my opnion on it though i didnt really know him.Apparently it was cause I was nice to him before sometime in october of novemberO.o ) Because Fire God was a fire nut too I asked him to co-lead with me.I had to sorta convince him but in the end I won(no surprise^_^) I went and made a place for the team to sorta call home.First it was a place on neopets(XD) But the cute little animals there freaked fire god out.ad I knew it wasnt the greatest.So no one ever saw that pathetic excuse fr aplace but fire god and I. Then later thatsame night i found porboards.I signed up(and when i did i picked a username not realizing it wud be in the sites urlXDDummyXD) the next morning i showed fire god and he was all excited.i made him admin and I remember him saying he loved the feeling if power that came with being in chare or something like that. after that it was like a blur.People came.People signd up.We were attacked by spammers then hackers.We met some real great people and made some friends we really wont ever forget even though they arent here now(Steph, Blaziken, mudkip, dr. bananna, and others) For quite a long time we were really good.It was fun.We had the perfect combination of people.We were small but really active and stuff.We changed our name and look 15 million times. We hadparties and role playing adventures.We had insane people everywhere kicking each other and throwing paper weights(ok so that was just me^_^() ) at one point Fire God didnt want to lead Team Magma anymore.so we sorta stepped down and became anall aming site.Nothing changed then, besides the fact we didnt lead team magma anymore.(hee hee and Fire God said how relieved he was when he didnt have a team to worry about) I was actually kinda sad to leave behind my team.Actually VERY sad.But being typical me, I didn't want to come in confrontation with my co-runner of the site.He always recognized me as the main owner and stuff of the place but I sorta let him run things the way he did cause it made him happy. At one point,Steph left,because, ofwell complications lets say, between fire god and her.Steph was going through some things and for some reason he didn't want to talk to her anymore.(I thought it unfair to just abanadon her just cause of a problem though so i stayed with her until she was ok and looooooong after that.Shes my friend after all and i cudnt abandon her.) But it was the night before halloween maybe, and thats when Fire God left for reasons im still not entirely sure of, but iunderstand some things better now. After that things just werent the same.He was one of the most loved members this site ever had id say.At first we said his computer was seriously damaged but theres no sense in lying.He just told us to say that.The truth is he just left.By his own choice.And theres so sense in hiding this any more either, we cared about each other, if you know what i mean.At least I know I cared about him, im not so sure about him.Its hard to say if any of what he said about himself was true anymore.(but thats one of the reason he left he i guess, cause im pretty unavoidable here) But yeah after that things went downhill.I had literally lost my mind, said strange things, and wasnt taking very good care fo myself really.(im sorry i acted theway i did though.Even if most of you never saw it.Though i cudnt help it.Anyone who's ever lost someone dear to them cud understand) A few times fire god actually came back.Half of those times still dont make sense.Why he would doesnt anyways.(but just so you know I don't think he's coming back again.From what i understand, he doesn't care to know who cares about him and doesn't give a llama about any of it anymore.He didnt actually use the word llama but I don't like to swear so....O.o)(woah and I just realized it's only two days until he turns 15O.o) but steph was able to come back after fire god left,theres a plus.Though she ended up leaving again eventually.But on different circumstances(and i still talk to her and shes doing great^_^) during our hard time after fire god left though we met some new people(GA to name one). then all the sudden lots of people were joining but not posting(which is ironic it used to be the other way around) We've been going on for about....a year and a half now i guess.I dont plan on like endng this site even if it goes totally dead.Basically we're just a place started for a team to reside at that turned into the site where there's almost no rules but the rules we have aren't totally inforced.A place the weirdos, crazies, and social outcasts could sorta go to be with their own kind.Even though things are slow I still love this place.It holds so many memories.I wouldn't have met a lot of the people I met if I hadn't of started this place.(including Pop Tart who I met because of Steph.and in case u still haven't met Pop Tart, he's that crazy goober who is really short and even though u probably can't tell hes also a geek!^_^yoy!^_^but I love him to little bite size pieces!^_^He's the reason why I'm ok now and REALLY REALLY nutz!^_^) So thank-you TGA! *gives TGA a BIG hug* Now that I told the story of this place if there's any questions feel free to ask.I'm the oldest member(been here since day one^_^) so I know everything!^_^(well everything about this place^_^() )

That's true but I don't know much about how they could leave a place like this... It really boggles the mind how you could turn and walk off...

I swear I'll kill myself one of these days if I don't lose this seemingly horrific amount of curiosity.
Yes, that's about how it happened if I remember correctly. We went through several website attempts, several members, and several good times.
The only thing that's bugging me now is that I can't remember two things. The password to my hotmail firegod221 account, and also that I can't remember if I left in the year 2002 or 2003.
I'll see if I can answer some questions now. Why did I leave? If I remember correctly I was going insane with the place. (Not really insane but you know, very agitated and annoyed at what I'd been doing for a year. What had I been doing? Not a whole lot, and that was the problem.)
I apologize for leaving on such short notice, I realize it wasn't exactly polite of me to leave without giving a very good reason for it. I just needed to get away from here for, well I didn't know for how long, just quite a long while. I was 13 years old when I registered on Pokemon UK. I am now 15 years old. Not a ridiculous difference in the amount of time between then and now but it was long enough. As most of you problably know, yes, I used to have a certain "liking" for Kacey you could say. I think another reason for my leaving was that I realized at one point: "I'm 13 years old, and I'm obsessed with a girl whom I only know over the internet? What could possibly come of this at this rate?" I needed to leave and stop things while I could. (I know I meant a lot to Kacey, for all I know I still do.)
Now I'll talk about what I've been doing over the past (nearly year or year and a half?)
Near the end of my stay here I purchased an online first person shooter. Oh I had wonderful fun with it and I realized at what other games there were out there too explore. About 1 month after I started playing the game, I joined an online gaming clan named [UFOG]. (At which point Kacey was still trying to contact me after I'd declared my leave.) It was annoying yes, but then it died off and she let up. Which I'm very thankful for.
I held with [UFOG] for a good long while, until January, when another online gaming clan moved into our home server and brung up some competition. I'd become friends with all of these people from both clans. Some stuff happened between the two of them, and when I noticed [UFOG] wasn't getting me anywhere. I went off to join the other clan (whose members were all adults except for 1 other person a little younger than I, by a few months.)
These guys taught me a lot, they taught me what a good time really is, that fighting doesn't solve anything and that it's all about fun. I made some of the best friends of my life in that clan, we even got our own server which I helped admin.
Then, in early february not even a month after we'd gotten the server, it all hit the roof. A member of the clan declared himself leader, which didn't sit well with the original members of the clan who made it to be democratic. He tried to kick one guy out which didn't sit well with me, so I said we needed to vote him out to be fair. After this, he kicked me from the clan as well. I rallied up the members I knew believed in equality and we all left together. Thus starts the fall of a wonderful wonderful clan. The clan slowly fell month after month, at which point the clan started picking up random people into their clan, some of my friends were still in the clan that I'd just been banned from. For a long while it was me and some others trying to figure out what to do. (We were best of friends, so obviously this was one hell of a mess, and keep in mind these were adults except for me.) Eventually people split off, two built a website that some others went to, I joined the former clan server. (A second incident happened in which my last clan got kicked out of their own server that I got banned from. I am now unbanned.) So I played on there. I was trying to go to the website, the forums of both places, the server of both places, the server of my original clan, everything. I've gotten used to moving quite a bit and keeping friends from a distance.
When the second incident happened, more people left the clan, and they are now my new clanmates. We just started a new clan and are now paying for the server. I am currently one of the 6 high ranking admins out of about 16 clan members or so. All of whom are adults. (Except for me.) Being with these guys and experiencing so much over the past (year I'm guessing, or...now that I think about it, did I leave here in 2002? I think it was...maybe not...darnit.)
Anyway, I play games, I have fun, I built a few more websites which didn't get used, and now I help run a server with a bunch of 25-35 year old guys who're all good people.
Of course, here it is 4:00AM. (Which'll have to change when school arrives again next week.) And I got the strangest urge to see what was happening here. I remembered the url perfectly. Even my password. (I had to type it in because this is my computer which I aquired in June.) The first thing I did was check up on Kacey, I needed to make sure she was handling herself alright. I know me leaving had quite an effect on her which I still feel rather horrible about.
It seems though, that she's managed to move on a bit. She seems better than last time I saw her which is a VERY good thing I might add. It's not a good thing for anybody to feel poorly about themselves or their lives.
Anyway, back to my original point.
It's me. The very same Fire God from way back when, from the beginning. After my rather long time out, I feel I'm finally able to add this, to my list of places to visit daily once again. The only question I have for you all is this:
Am I still welcome here?
Kacey, you must understand though, that just because I'm returning on a for the most part daily basis (at least make it one of my stops every day, hopefully school doesn't interfere.) That doesn't mean I will return to you the same way I was before however long ago it was. Am I different? I'll let you decide. However, just because I don't think I should be "with you" as I used to be, doesn't mean I'm not willing to be a friend of yours.
If you're willing to speak with me about anything at all, please do one of the following:
Add ptflea@hotmail.com to your msn contact list, or if you have Yahoo Messenger (which I'd almost prefer, it's alright if you don't have it though.), add
thebritishflea
to your contact list.
Also, my AIM is thebritishflea as well. I'll see if I can unban your name from all formats if I can find it or if I haven't already done it. I'd love to speak with you again to catch up on things as friends.
To the rest of you.
Hello.

Well you see there are two reasons as to why I thought I might not be welcome:
The first being that it is ultimately because of me that this place went downhill and ended up in it's current state. I didn't exactly leave on a peaceful manner either.
The second reason is simply that it would have been impolite to just assume I could come on here and be respected as I used to be.

Fire god you should see all the posts about u I think that would indicate how respected u are here and I think people think since u are the reason that it went downhill will also be the reason it will go uphill. But so far no ones reconised u are here so I was think about do ing an e-mail to eveyone to tell them to come back. What do u think ?

Well I have noticed that you seem to be the only one here on a daily basis. Anyway here are my opinions.
About the email, there is an admin option allowing you to mass-email every member of the boards, which you problably already know about. I suppose you could send an email to everyone if you wanted about my return. I was hoping at least 2 or 3 people came back here on a daily basis. Unfortunately that doesn't seem to be the case. I don't know if an email would do any good though, when people check their emails they use for this place, they also tend to just check the boards, or so I'd assume. Also I know that whenever I get on, I check the boards before my email. If more people don't find out by tomorrow night, I'll pm you.
Also, the only other thing I could have you do for me is rather simple.
Since you're an admin, you have access to the restricted names yes? The words Fire and/or God are under the restricted names list right now. Only admins can get past this filter, and since I no longer have admin on these boards, I am unable to change my profile because whenever I do it says I'm using a restricted name. Of course, the reason those names are on the restricted names list in the first place is so nobody could steal my name.
-Also, Fire Emblem, if you could pm me any means of contacting you through any one of the messengers (Yahoo IM, AIM, or MSN) it would be very much appreciated.

Well, this is great! Seriously! You're back! Although I don't think you think to highly of me at this point, do you... Yuck, my own fault. Glad you're back! I'll try to be around more often now, because I think I should be here...even if I AM useless.
