Greetings, Boulderstar2000. (Why does that sound like the name of a spaceship to me?) If you've never been to a forum before, I recommend taking it slowly at first. Threads are sorted out by category, and while you can find almost anything to talk about, where it goes can be a bit tricky to find, even for people that have been on forums before. My advice is to take a look at Guidance of Valor to get you introduced to the forum interface. It's a neat little tutorial that will take 20 minutes at most to complete, and should help you get acquainted with the forum. As for the people, almost everyone here is rather friendly and willing to talk - not necessarily outgoing, but won't turn a face away. There are a lot of other people that have joined recently as well, so who knows? You might be able to start your forum adventure together with new friends. I think it'd be more fun that way.
Welcome, Boulder! It's fantastic to have you with us. Definitely explore around, you'll find something. Site has tons to offer!
Hiya, welcome c: I think one of the things I learned from my first forum experience was that you can use the quote button if you want to make sure someone knows you replied to them, otherwise you have to rely on both sides keeping track of the thread to see the next post, and maybe that's not difficult for others but I tend not to remember to keep a thread open so quotes are really great for reminding me that somethings happening there :'D
I decided to join LV on a whim and have been definitely enjoying it! PP seem very cool and I also love the emphasis on artwork in this community! I am new so I would love meeting other players, old and new, and learning more. This isn't my first forum so I've pretty much figured it out but I would love if someone could link me to the donation thread so I can request a tiny donation and kickstart my LV life (I came across it but can't find it :/). EDIT November 21st 2017: It's LV's 5 year anniversary Vig and this is your first post. Seems like it was only yesterday that you wanted to amass the largest collection of PP in LV's history
Welcome to Lake Valor Vigilance! You super nice and I am so happy you like the site! You can request donations here- http://lakevalor.net/topic/1170-request-a-donation. You should make sure to check out the shop, there are a lot of cool features for your account!
Hello there everyone. I submitted another story to this site. I'm so glad I was told about this place. I believe I will have a lot of fun here. It's a pleasure to meet you all.
Hello everyone (for the millionth time that word has been said in here) I only joined recently but this forum is a lot of fun. Never really got into forums so this is my first. Was invited because of my fanfiction, already have four chapters up here. I hope to continue to be apart of this site for years to come!
What a...no, no coincidence. Wish we could find zformtapu on here (he/she sent me here too!)... Anyways, glad you're on!
I've been checking my PM's on FFN, and I've noticed that the person who referred me changed their name to zformtapu. I also believe that's why there's been a massive influx of writers. At this point, I'm just curious who it was!
Am I late to the welcome party? Either way, welcome to all newcomers! I bet it'd be great to have you all here. I'm pretty new myself though, haha.
Hi everyone! I'm new here, which feels weird to say, I haven't joined a site like this in a while. I'm pretty excited to be here (not only because I finally have proof I'm not the only one over seven who's interested in Pokémon!) and would love to meet some people!
It's not weird to say if it's factually accurate, is it? ...okay, maybe it could still be weird, but still I don't think this is one of those occasions. It is good to see you stumble upon this place. I can assure you that Lake Valor is full of people who would love to meet you and want to be met, so you can always feel free to look around the place for topics that interest you, and strike up a conversation with whomever you please. I hope you enjoy this place as much as we do; please share what you think of our little home as you spend time around here!
Welcome to Lake Valor! It is always shocking to see how many people enjoy one topic and how it brings people together. It is awesome to have you join us!
welcome c: it's definitely one of those fandoms that is growing up alongside it, rather than falling away as they grow older ^ ^ it's especially telling when Pokémon go came out and almost everyone around me, all adults, were playing it with no shame at all :'D
