Articuno UPN DAY TWENTY THIRTEEN

Hello friends. And enemies, I guess. Welcome to another edition of UPN Day. It's been another crazy year of stuff and also other stuff. And I'm glad I'm here at the helm because I generally have no idea where we're going. But that's half the fun, right?

So let's share some stories about random UPN stuff on this fine day. It doesn't have to be something cliche about how you found it, but anything will work. Maybe a fun moment you had on here? A friend you met that you can't replace (or can replace with a Substitute). The sky is the limit. Wait, that's a lame limit. The universe is the limit. Yes. Good.

The best entries will be allowed a one time name change, and all other entries on today only will be given the ability to change their user title at will. Just like any other day.

The stakes are higher this year. Have a good one.

It's cliche, but I never talked about how I got here, so here I go. What drew me initially was my love of role play and pokémon. Started out as a pasbler at Serebii, and quickly found myself migrating to UPN. Some time later, I found myself joining Fizzy Bubbles. Honestly, I scarcely ever ventured out of those subareas, though I found myself browsing more and more this specific forum on a daily basis. Maybe its the smart black layout that helps, but really, its the comunity I found myself endearing to. Met some good friends with whom I speak on a daily basis pretty much. There has been drama, but that too makes this place memorable. I guess what I'm ultimately trying to say is, UPN is the place where I invest the most of my leisure time in, and long enough to make it a relevant chapter in my life. I love the comunity. I love the place. Even if I don't contribute much, you can count on me being there, wherever this ship leads to.


Hail Kuno.

One day I got banned by Kuno. I hope to be banned forever.

I came for ASB. But now I contribute to more parts of the forum. It's always fun (except in the Debate forum), and the people are nice (except in the Debate forum).

Maybe this year could I have the colours optiom for my user title?

anyway, here's my story of swampy and the Ultimate Pokemon Network.

It was cold, and dark, with only the faintest sounds of voices bouncing off of my blank white door. My Room, a large rectangular room painted in a light blue colour, scattered with multiple pictures that didn't seem to match. In one corner of The Room stood a computer desk, and underneath, a computer. This Computer held within it the last few friends I had left, yet they were nothing but digital animations, and voice actors that droned on, and on, and on. In the Corner directly to the left of the computer desk, was a bed. This bed was scattered with multiple things, including, stuffed toys, extra blankets, too many pillows, but a more distinguishable feature was on the bed. It was a human being, this one with a quivering face gleaming with dried up tears, and a runny nose. The human was lying on his side, curled up, and motionless, similar to the stuffed toys that accompanied him. This human, was me. I had just lost nearly all of my best friends. In my mind, nothing seemed to make any sense. I was frozen, out of either, shock, anger, sadness, or a combination of them. I looked upon the wall, the ceiling, and could only find the nearest stuffie to talk to. I remember talking to it,asking it what could be made of my current status. When I got no reply, I felt hopeless, and alone. I hugged the stuffie, for a very long time, and not letting go, in fear of losing yet another friend.

--------------------------------

In the next few weeks, I was brought closer to the few friends I had left. I thank someone I know for being such a kind person, and he probably hasn't heard of my predicament until now. His name is Kin. And he was, and still is, someone I look forward to seeing again. In that time, I believe was when my character was formed. I was a jumpy boy, that was fun, but not serious. Something that took longer to develop was my maturity. Which is what I thank you all for. I have a strong belief that the UPN was a strong factor in my maturity. I think I have changed drastically between the time I first arrived at UPN, and now. So I thank you UPN, for helping shape the person I am today...

A story? I don't really have much of those, to be honest. I originally only joined so I could get some answers to the FB entry quiz and thought that would be it, really. Obviously, one look at my post count shows that's not the case, but I still rarely stray outside of FB and 49 of those are in the Casino alone! But in a way, that's impressive in of itself. I've always had issues trying to get involved in conversations and things that look fun, both on and off-line. I didn't think it was anything out of the ordinary, that's just the way I've always been. However, in 2010 I was diagnosed with Social Anxiety Disorder. I sometimes feel like the diagnosis just makes things worse though, like I've been given an excuse to withdraw from the world because I have ~*psychological issues*~.

I don't bring it up very often because of that, and it feels like I'm playing the sympathy card when I do. So why bring it up now? Because as you can clearly see, I've done stuff here. Sometimes I gather up the courage to mention something in the FBTO thread or Hatchers Anonymous and, while the times I don't still outweigh the times I do, being able to do so is in itself an achievement for me. Forums have always been hard for me because despite the anonymity there's still the factor of the time taken to write up a reply giving me a chance to reconsider, which rarely ends with me posting. But when I do I never feel like I'm unwelcome here. Even when I'm not chatting I've noticed people mention me a couple of times and it's just, I've made a tiny impression! I'll probably never be famous by any stretch of the word, but that's okay, I'm happy being me and you guys don't seem to mind that at all.

So, thank you. Maybe sometime I'll gather the courage to venture outside FB, I've been eyeing PASBL off for a little to be honest. But even if I don't, even if we never run into each other, thank you. Whether we talk or visit the same places or not, we're still a part of the community, and it's a pretty dang nice one, if I do say so myself.

Also, I just realised I've been here and mildly active for a good six months now. Allow me to say that's pretty impressive by my standards.

My story huh? Can't believe it's already been a year and a half since I joined...

Anywhoo, I first came here through Fizzy Bubbles in Serebii; it was really my interest in RPing that brought me here. I do admit that I rarely venture outside FB though I am slowly fixing that. As the months pass by, I find myself staying on this specific site more often and even made quite a lot of friends, so much so that I even revived my rarely-used Skype account just to talk with some of them on a daily basis! Not to mention even meeting two of the users here in real life just a few days ago... Never though I would actually do something like that! Ah, that was truly one moment I'll never forget~ *hugs Daisy and pengyzu*

All I'm saying is I guess I grew to love this place a lot. Sure it wasn't all sunshine and rainbows but there were still many happy moments here that I enioyed with everyone. It really is a fun ride Kuno, and you can bet on me sticking around for more. Happy UPN day folks. =)

I already possess these abilities, but I do consider UPN the internet home nowadays.

Since acquiring Mod powers over on Serebii a few weeks ago, I've been able to see in to their Mod's only forum. Now, I don't know if UPN has the equivalent or if it's the same... certainly the ASB's LO forum is not the same... but Serebii is odd. The mods all seem to be really nice, which contrasts with how awful some of them are publicly, but they all seem to have given up the will. They don't really care any more, wound down by constant barrages of idiocy no doubt.

UPN is not like that. I don't agree with everything that Kuno does. I don't think that the site is arranged in the way that I would arrange it. But that doesn't matter. Kuno cares about the site, even if he's not as active as he has always been and even though his real life is in a career which has the potential to be the most rewarding in human civilisation. UPN community has its quirks and its quirky people but Kuno doesn't really give a shit about that, he just turns up every now and then and tells us to chill our beans. If he weren't based in America and thus limited to watery swill and pseudo-Irish bars, I would want to drink with Kuno.

Here's to UPN. Happy UPN day!

Well, I happened to join this place about a year ago, and back then the only reason I made an account here was so I could pass the Fizzy Bubbles test and get into the that little game, and since then I've had a great reason to procrastinate on things. Better still I found a ton of good friends with whom I have fun RPing with, if only for the fact that I LOVE torturing my FB character because it's so hilarious to come up with his reactions to certain situations. And that's not even counting how much his own Pokemon make him squirm sometimes! Honestly, though, there are some really good roleplayers here, and the fact they consider me a good person to RP with says a lot to me. Great people, and great fun, that's how I roll! Shout out to Balmund, Marion Ette, and Missingno. Master for being three of those people!

Happy UPN Day! So... does this mean UPN gains two levels, an Egg or Move Tutor move, a TM, +10 to all its contest stats, and +1 IQ?

Likewise to Kush, I already have the user-title ability and I'm happy with the username I have, but UPN Day comes but once a year.

I'd like to think that over the last year I've tried to spread out of my little corner in ASB and engage more with the rest of the board. Getting back into FB has strengthened that since there are a few people who just stick in that section, so I hope I'm doing some kind of bridgework and encouraging other folks to expand outward too.

I've said it before, but UPN is definitely my internet home. Hell, if it had an email function it'd be my homepage. I spend the vast majority of my online time here, but that's good - there's always interesting things to read or contribute to. True I'm not keen on anime and I've lost touch with the gaming scene, but the joy of UPN is there's something for everyone.

Once again, thanks to Kuno for keeping this place up and running. Happy UPN Day to all, and to all a good... er... time?

Again, I also have the ability to change my User Title, though a username change would be nice so I might as well put something up.

I know I haven't been the most active or contributory to the forums over the past year, but I'm hoping to get back into it now I've got much more free time. I may not be on here as much as some other folks, but I love this place all the same. I've made friends here, I've had fun here - and I hope to have even more such over the next year. And the next, and the next, etc.

Thanks to Kuno for keeping this place going - and to pretty much everyone else for just being around.

Happy UPN Day, everyone!

It's weird to think, but without UPN, I might not be the person I am right now. There's no way I'd be as close to my Fizzy Bubbles friends if I'd stuck to the less active Serebii forums, so I probably wouldn't be as social as I am with them. So I have to be thankful for that, Kuno. Admittedly, no, I don't venture outside of Fizzy apart from very rare occasions - I have enough forums to browse, but when I do, many posters seem relatively intelligent, and despite the occasional bit of stupid drama and bastardy, this place is a damn fine forum which you should be proud of.

Thanks.

Holy crap, I actually remembered this year.

What to say about this place? I guess it's kept me entertained during the times I've been feeling down, and I've been around pretty much most of the place. I lurk around the Anime forum as a guilty pleasure, notably to read on the musings, ramblings, bitchings and generic entertainment statements from the folks there, was brought here by PASBL which I've sorta grown out of due to the fact it's not as fun to me these days and I forgot my old team, and while I'm drifting from FB due to the red tape that seems to have risen, it's always good to read up on bad fanfiction/the RPing that takes place in those TOs and bar. Granted, some of the impressive things I see here don't help my socially crippling lack of self-esteem, but the folks here are pretty fun to be with.

I always enjoy seeing everyone emerge from their caves for one day a year for the sole purpose of changing user titles. Feels good, man.

Kidding aside, there have been lots of good moments on UPN, but my favorites have taken place in IMs.

Eau my.

Hmmm. If you posted in 2 other UPN Day threads (and provide links FB style) I'll allow a one time colored user title. But it wont let you change that title since you won't be able to do colors. Like I'd have to set it for you.

Aww thanks. Although it might sound weird, even though I don't post a lot I actually read every thread here. Well I try to at least, I certainly hit up the FB TO every so often, etc.


Edit: Everyone should have working user titles now. Let me know if it doesn't work

Edit2: Let me know if you were interested in the name change thing. If not, don't sweat it.

Let me preface this by saying, look at this name. Can you really deny me a name change? It looks exactly like what it is, something a twelve year old came up with.

That's what I was when I stumbled upon Serebii. I lurked there for several months before I decided to make an account. Shortly after I joined the ASB and got to know a few people. Like almost everyone else, I found my way over here through ASB and now here I am. I fade in and out very frequently but there's something that keeps me coming back to this place. Perhaps it is PASBL, but personally, I think it's the people. This forum is something special. This forum is a community of close knit people who just want to share their love for Pokemon and other similar interests. It's weird. It's like a family but you don't know anyone.

Each time I come back, I'm left with a new memory. So, thank you Kuno. Thank you for creating this wonderful forum. It's really hard to forget a place like this, and that's exactly why I keep coming back. Keep up the good work, I know you really love this place and I'm glad that I can enjoy everyone's company here.

I got the best one, but let's just start off with how I got here.
A story that's almost as bad as superman's.
almost

I came here because of PASBL after not being able to see the forum because I didn't have an account. I lurked for a while, cause you were all so intimidating, and recently I joined Fizzy Bubbles. I also reside in the general forums, sporadically posting my thoughts.

Now for the interesting part...

Yesterday night, I had a dream. In a dark and foreboding mansion, filled with stairs, secret doorways, and rooms of every quality and shape, a Fallen Icarus was captured. For some reason unbeknownst to me, they wished to change my brain into thinking their way. The two men, cloaked in shadows, led me down a light-less flight of stairs, into a dim room full of.... doors and people. Strange thing was, somehow objects "floated" near them. Laughing, the more portly one of the men explained it to me.

He introduced himself as the overlord of Fizzy Bubbles (and presumably UPN and PASBL as well, as I saw a room labeled PASBL when I was escaping). The man pointed to a floating post nearby a girl. I had seen that post before, but now it was modified. He explained that they brought people and written stuff here to change the contents if the overlords did not find them desirable. Pokemons in glass vials moving in a conveyor belt was part of the show. I was to receive the same fate as the other people.

Adrenaline rushing through my veins, I broke free of their grip and somehow got into a mysterious room. A candle was flickering in the corner, and there stood a man draped in a turban and a girl in a veil. The man nervously licked his lips and asked me if I wanted to escape. I was suspicious of the man, so I did not answer. He grew even more agitated, and said if I wanted to escape, I would have to pick 5 cards and he would read my future. This scene seemed familiar. (I had a dream with this scene before) Because of this, I picked the 5 cards, he read my future, and the woman led me to a locked door. She pulled out a key, which was apparently a key that could open all doors, and I was led out.

A lot of scenes passed, including where I was captured and escaped repeatedly, passing rooms that said PASBL, MATH, Room (Lol), and OFFICE. I entered the office, and remembered that I had been here before, and had almost escape. I frantically searched for that door, using the key I had somehow gotten. But wait! The overlord entered with several girls that were scantily clad in pink, and grumbled something about annoying kids while I hid. He proceeded to abuse and call the girls "my sex slaves", after which he raped them. I realized what was happening, and escaped.

For some reason, I knew what would happen in the future. The news would get out, and the overlord would be forced out. Where he was doing those nasty things was the hub of all Fizzy Bubbles and PASBL activity, and it was considered sacrilege. He was also a necromancer who had been enamored by his brother and was trying to revive him.

I entered a hallway and observed a man and a gorilla pokemon speaking. (Mostly the man). My subconscious told me that he was one of the leaders of this mansion and very handsome+popular. I tried to slip by, but he called out to me. "Why are you so worried?" he asked. I was about to answer, but then, scene change!

Lightning was flashing from the sky and I stared straight at the overlord. He was very disheveled and looked like he was going to die. "If I will die, I will use my death to revive my brother!" He cast a spell for about 24 hours, and his brother revived. But the brother ate the both of us.


End dream.

Also if people want a name change dont they just make another account?

EDIT: Also, I don't really want a name change,.

Happy UPN day everybody! I have the traditional story here; stumbled in thanks to both ASB/Fizzy Bubbles, but then I didn't know what I was getting into, haha. Being here with all you guys has kinda bumped up what little self esteem I had, and now I can honestly say that I'm a lot more confident in myself as both a writer and a person. And so, I'll be sticking around for years to come, hopefully for more games, streams, and random discussions. Have a good day everybody, and here's to many more years of miscellaneous adventures! ^.^

Like many here, UPN is my internet home. My personal life this past year has been particularly crazy, and it's this forum and the people in it that helped me get through it, whether you guys know it or not. I'm not eloquent with my words or as involved in the forums as many of you are, but I truly thank each and every person here on UPN for making this place what it is.

Happy UPN Day!

Happy UPN day I guess?

Not going to bore people with how I came here for Fizzy Bubbles so I'll just tell something else. Like my first encounter with the Holy Emperor himself

From my very first day here, when I got kinda forced by a Fizzy Bubbles event to go here, I was often told to go to a person called 'Kuno' for fixing problems. Which at that very first day I had, cause links and stuff. N00dle me looking for a Kuno everywhere but no Kuno to be found.

And then, on one good day with a less good drama discussion in the FBTO the Holy Emperor himself showed up to give his almighty verdict on the matter that settled it immediately because of his unearthly wisdom. Then however, more references came up to this 'Kuno' person. And then it hit me, Kuno is the Holy Emperor! So I gathered all my courage to ask his highness if this was indeed the case. And then his holiness addressed me directly saying it is 'Nice to make your acquaintance'. The pleasure there being all mine ofcourse as I showed him my greatest respect by making the deepest bow I could possible make and will ever make.

And so goes the story of one of the highlights in my life, the day I met the Holy Emperor.

Too much? lol :P

Naw but seriously, even though I don't really spend a lot of time here these days its still super nice to pop in every so often and see everyone. Because I have met some wonderfully fascinating people on this board, or I've met people on other sites but they come here. I can't even remember how many years ago I started here now, and it was even further back I started on Serebii (eurgh if I see one more ancient n00b Stu post I will die) but its nice that UPN is still standing. Even if many people I have befriended have moved on now, but then in the same breath many people I have befriended are still here. And for that I am very thankful.

It's nice to find a little corner of the internet which is actually a pleasant place to be, of course we've had our fair share of dramas and such, but on the whole UPN is such a nice place to be. And I hope it can stay that way. I mean you only have to look at the Serebii Debate Forum, or not too much further into the depths of the internet, to find some truly horrible people saying horrible things.

This post isn't really going anywhere, I just have a lot of feelings D:

I think I explained my origin story in last year's UPN thread, but reflecting on the past year... Man, it's been one crazy ride. From the RP storylines, to the celebrations, to the occasional drama, to the amazing friends I can never replace, to the ever-growing collection of ghostly companions that have been making FB life more and more interesting... In fact, exactly one year ago today, an infamous little Frillish known as Bedivere was born. UPN day is the anniversary of his hatching, which is a funny little coincidence. Ohohohoho~ It's been a great year, and I hope UPN will flourish for many years to come.

It was always said of Kuno, that he knew how to keep UPN day well, if any man alive possessed the knowledge. May that be truly said of us, and all of us! And so, as Marion Ette observed, Giratina Bless Us, Every One!

Hard to believe another year has passed. Coincidentally the end of this month will mark my 10th anniversary being on UPN. Hard to believe 8th grade was 10 years ago!

The past year has been nice. I've made a lot of new friends on here and had a lot of good times on and off the site with a lot of them. We've all had our share of drama, too, but like Daisy said at the end of the day we're all here because we were united by our interests and that's what it always seems to return to.

I'm glad to call you guys friends and my "internet family", if you will. Stay strong, party hard, be safe, keep being awesome.
