Well, here's another forum I never really thought much to join.
I'm Crystal Walrein (CW for short in some circles), and I've been a Pokémon fan practically since its inception — yes, I'm the equivalent of a crotchety old man in the fold, I realise that. I've been a member of several Pokémon forums over my lifetime, and sometimes things have worked out well and other times not.
So, there you are. Me in a nutshell.
(On another note, I notice that there aren't any rules regarding signatures. One thread referred to the general rules thread, but that link was dead (the same dead link exists in the FAQ thread). Anybody care to fill me in on this?)
