I must be an idiot, because I can not figure out how to change my user title.
Anyway, I joined Serebii a year and a few days ago, and just stayed in General Pokemon Discussion for the first few months I was there. After that, I started to venture into other forums, and began making posts there. But it wasn't until October that I said, "Hey, what's that thing above Fan Fiction?" and discovered ASB. There I created my utterly noobish team and got the official TO welcome courtesy of Dave, IIRC. After about a month, I was still eager to be involved in ASB, but noticed that not a lot of activity happened at the Serebii board. It was then that I saw someone mention in passing about UPN. Me, not knowing anything about UPN, I decided to Google it. Oh Lord, was I lost. After getting such results as the United Paramount Network and the United Physicians Network I finally found it, and made an account. At that point I considered Serebii my home, and didn't expect to get too attached to this place. However, now that I've been here for a while, I have to say that the majority of my closest internet friends come from UPN. I've had many good memories here so far in my half year on UPN, whether it be rediscovering a love for Yu-Gi-Oh! and Sailor Moon, or watching Kuno stream theregamening, or something else. I'm definitely looking forward to the year ahead, and it's thanks to all of you. Happy 13th, UPN! (You'll get a picture later.)

Happy UPN Day!
I've joined Serebii in July 2010 and did some Competitive battling related stuff there until I joined ASB in April 2011. A few months later I joined here for more ASB stuff but UPN is much more than just a place for ASB and FB as I later learned. The people here in general are pretty awesome and I especially like that this is a small forum. So people would easily recognize each other and it doesn't feel crazy and stupid like SPPf. I also like that I live like 10 minutes away from Kuno...

Some of my students are going to Rapeside next year. Ask the freshmen if they went to my school and had a teacher that loved suits.

It's the yearly visit!

Happy Birthday UPN! I've been here for more than three years now (which is frickin' ridiculous) and you've seen me through the majority of my High School experience, which is nice.
So my joining story is really plain and not original. I used to roleplay a lot on Serebii. I always wondered what ASB and FB were. I looked at ASB for a while, then I joined on serebii, and hung out there until I decided to check out the other site listed on the PASBL website and hurrah, UPN. It's been one of the few sites (along with Youtube and Facebook) that have stood the test of time and kept me coming back, and that's at least something. So Happy Birthday, and to many more years indeed. |

Hmm. I've been here for three years as well, but contrasting nicely with Handy I've completed a degree. I basically started because I noticed that Serebii, where I had started looking at ASB, was far superior in its organisation. I've been in and out occasionally, always coming back after a while. A good site, well run, and has provided a nice distraction during some darker moments.
Happy UPN Day! |

I joined here in January of this year. I'd been on SPPf before, but I like UPN much better. The smaller community and lack of complete idiots definitely makes it better here.
Happy UPN day!

I forgot to yell at people this year saying if you just say one line all that you'll get is me slapping you silly. Especially if it's your first time.

I'm sad to admit I started on Serebii. As some here know, I started as Slash4life there, and I was active in the debate forum threads and the Gay/Lesbian alliance club. I at some point found ASB, and eventually, came to UPN, although for a short time.
Well, after a hiatus and a new account on SPPF, I was a bit more involved in the things such as TO and such on SPPf, and again took forever to come to UPN. When I finally really came to UPN, I found it as more of a second home than anything. I hate some of y'all sometimes, some of you can be dicks, although some (only some) of that is my depression talking. So I kinda love this place. Even the debate forum has less trolls. One of the things I love about UPN is that it's fairly tight. Most people know, or at least have a vague idea of, who most others are, even if they're in a different niche of the site. I've got to say, it's refreshing. As well, although I placed in a Kuno Club contest and got my custom usertitle some months ago, I never got the option to change it in my CP. I would be very grateful to get that option. |

I came here because of ASB stuffs, met Copy and became his rival, disappeared, became his bud, disappeared, and have come back for all the wonderful people that frequent this place.
Thanks for being such a nice site, UPN. |

You know how deoxys made that post last page about how he's been here for nine years oh my god what?
I've been here for ten and it is at once interesting and slightly bewildering. So hey, thanks, UPN, for sticking around and giving some goofballs in the Pokemon fandom an interweb home.

Hey guys, it's me Swampy. I got introduced to the UPnetwork by my good friend Kin, At first I didn't use it much, but now I love it. UPNetwork is a place where I can call home. I thank the readers of this post, and ALL the active users of the UPNetwork. The group of friends I hang out with has recently kicked me to the curb, and now Kin is graduating, leaving me very lonely for the past two years of high school. Even though it can be saddening thinking of my future loneliness, I can think of here, where there will always be a home, and friends. I would like to tell you all that I love you all for being there, and humoring me through your posts. And special thanks to Kuno, for handling this site,(would love to change my userbar(maybe colours too?) for my avatar run) and my ever so friendly and loyal friend Kin.
(And when I say I love everyone, that means you too Rangeet) |

User titles are a go. Everyone who posted got it, and fixed the ones who said it wasn't working.
If you feel weird you've been here for 10 years, it's more for me. >.> |

The first time I came in made me feel that even I'm a total loser, everyone loves me. Even my first loss happened here, my experiences make me a lot better. And oh, UPN: The Game! Liked it so much!
TRIVIA: I only knew the term streaming because of UPN. Thank you guys a lot! Addition: I also experienced my first FB adventure here in UPN. And I met Filipino UPNers like me, like pengy, Coolz, Daisy... I feel like I want to cry typing this stuff!

>I missed it again for the third/fourth year running
I need a loser's medal... Honestly, being here for a good 3 years from Serebii, I've always wondered why I bother checking this place out when I'm rarely here. I think it's likely to do with the charm of this place as well as the amusement despite the cancer that is the bronytards thread, but that's something I just need to ignore as well as half the idiots here. That I've missed UPN day yet again has to be a track record of failure for me. I seriously feel like flooding an orphanage with lava right now. Last edited by Raves; 06-20-2012 at 08:29 AM. |
