Telume claims that it should be working now.

I'm sorry, but 10^(10^(10^(10^(10^3.242952999147628)))) (which is an approximation of that huge number you just gave) is just a slight bit too far beyond 5. While we're at it, 0.

Good grief, you sure don't get tired of this. At least it'll somewhat entertain wraith since I'm effectively disproving this being a rehashed Mods vs. Regulars. Division by zero.

Do you even know who you're talking to? Zero.

I'm sorry to spoil your fun, but... 0

Guys, we Project Digimon now, right?

That would only increase the user count. While that is also a pretty cool statistic, I personally have to say that I'd prefer fewer but active people to many but inactive people. There are also a couple of bugmenot (Google it if you don't know what bugmenot is) entries as-is; they'll just increase even more if PP.org went "you can only see attachments or pictures or whatever if you register blah blah". Therefore, I wouldn't say that's a good idea; register-for-view is very annoying and I've already made experience with that kind of mentality, it's mostly just a bother and not at all an incentive to join any discussion.

Seeing how lately a lot of people have failed to use common sense, it's been decided (Read: I've taken it upon myself to come up with this and didn't even ask for staff confirmation) that these new policies would be introduced: Do not complain about your bans I mean it, we ban you for a reason. For serious offenders who just never listen and evade their bans so often that we lose count, we have so-called akicks to keep you out, a kickban on join, automatically. If you were banned, PMing the one who banned you is not a solution and probably just angers the ops more, and won't help you. Just quietly disappear, come back in a week or so, and everything should be alright again, just do not bug us about your ban from the channel. Being annoying is an offense Yes, you heard me. Being annoying can get you banned, and what's considered annoying is up to the ops, and not you. I actually don't really want to use this policy too often, but some users just don't get when it's a good moment to shut up. Do not evade your bans (This is probably somewhere in the forums rules, too, but I think I'll have to stress this one) You are not allowed to join the channel while you're banned/your akick is still standing. Doing so will probably just make it worse for you. If you've been keeping out for, like, six months, maybe someone will remove your ban if you ask very nicely and indirectly about it (Pro tip: Don't ask me unless you've started to type properly). If we ban you, we mean your entire family This means if your brother got you banned, I'm sorry, but you're banned, too. We don't care if it was your cat, your dog, Cthulu, your parents, it's not an excuse and we will not unban you or your family members. You are responsible for all activity that occurs on your IP address (negative activity in particular). This is unfair, but the only technically feasible method.

That link is ancient. Either go and look for it on the site or stop using PokeSav and start using PokeGen, like you should.

Backups of PPRE were restored to the wrong directory; as Andibad already noticed, they are now fixed.

You're banned for wanting to buy the IOS SDK.

Free 47 for everyone! Whee!

41. Whee. Isn't this great?

38. We're trolling staff big time right now.

35 just to be annoying. If we keep this up, someone's gonna be angry soon.

32, F5 spamming is really worth it in this case.

29 for the good measure of it.

26, just earning in as many posts as we still can. Badges ftw

6 Ton of badges here, too bad I can't +2 for each of them.

Okay guys, if you chose Suicune, please consider switching to Dragonite. Anything is better than Deoxys of all things, right?

I'd like to change from Suicune to Dragonite. I still like Suicune better, but ANYTHING is better than Deoxys, so I'll rather support the second.

Suicune all the way. [insert generic Suicune voting advertisement here]

Okay, I think it's time for some statistics. Following Pokemon in Smogon's current version of OU are weak to Stealth Rock (Normal font means 2x weakness to Rock -> 25% health loss, bold means 4x weakness -> 50% health loss): Dragonite Gyarados Ninjask Salamence Togekiss Weavile Those are six out of 47 current OU Pokemon, which isn't too bad. The 12% or less loss of HP can be neglected in most cases. So, what does this mean for the move itself? It actually helps balancing some of the top threats in OU. Now, there's a small problem: Multiple Pokemon who have BL or even OU potential (Articuno, Yanmega, I'm looking at you guys) are simply neglected because they take massive damage from Rocks. Those Pokemon are simply denied in Smogon's OU because Stealth Rock hampers their function up to entire uselessness. Imagine you have a Yanmega and stupidly switch into a Roar - your Yanmega is blown away and if its HP isn't odd (correct me if I'm wrong there), it's dead weight, because after another switch-in it's KOd anyway. So you could say Stealth Rock is a pretty unfair to some Pokemon, but it helps keeping OU balanced, especially in regards to stuff like MixMence. Overall I'd say Stealth Rock should stay. Most people rely heavily on it and it does help balancing OU.
