Ok, this one's from the shoddy server itself.
We can start a new forum, known as Mentoring. One way we can do that is expanding Competitive Battling
to a category instead of a Forum itself. Inside this forum are different threads, one for each mentor. If you want to learn a specific style, tier, pokemon, type, or whatever, you find a mentor who has that listed in his thread as something he can teach. If noone teaches it, ask around.
Advantages:
More Personal, more time to work, more efficient, no unavaileability problems
Disadvantages: picking the mentors.
Personally, I think you should apply to be a mentor, get a badge as a mentor if selected, and everyone, you as well, shoiuld decide each speicality according to specific strengths and weaknessess.
