Welcome to the Cave of Dragonflies guestbook.
Off-topic discussion is allowed, but spam is not; please make sure all your messages are of substantial meaning that at least somebody would be interested in reading and responding to. That being said, obviously I appreciate comments relating to The Cave of Dragonflies, whether they are error reports, questions, suggestions or whatever else you might want to get across.
Responding to post
Did you actually want me to be engaging you in some kind of a discussion? I got the impression you were just ranting in the hope of making guestbook viewers see the light and hate me or something. You didn't even address me; it was just a declaration referring to me in the third person with a name that isn't my name and talking about how fascist I am.
But fine, I'll humour you for now.
Most of your 'accusations' honestly aren't worth replying to, because they're so vague as to be meaningless. You keep talking about how dictatorial I am; I genuinely don't have the faintest idea what you're talking about, because as I pointed out, I barely even do anything on the forums. I've given exactly two infractions this year, one of them to ban a member who PMed me to ask to be banned. (I also reversed one infraction that I thought was unfair.) You also imply people are banned "for their views" all the time, but don't give any examples, and again I have no idea what you're talking about. You say the forums are especially uptight about members' behaviour, citing the fact the rules contain rules against things like flaming and mini-modding that are banned on most forums (and they don't have a rule against "bad English", only a guideline saying posts should be decently readable). You say I don't allow people to make mistakes (??), when mine is, I think, the only forum I know of where ban evasion is not actually a bannable offense, exactly because I think people should be able to get a second chance even if they screw up once. You insist my forums have an unusual amount of members being nervous about breaking the rules. You act as if forums having drama is a highly unusual thing. You seem to think I'm some kind of an evil mastermind. All of this just makes me scratch my head; I don't have the vaguest inkling of how you even got to these conclusions. How on earth am I supposed to respond to something that, as far as I can see, has simply been pulled out of thin air?
Other comments you make are just ludicrously outdated, such as the one about Furret and your general obsession with Nidokingu. For the record, I admined him at his insistence, because I was fifteen and stupid and bought his blather about how because we were in a relationship he should get an equal share in the site and forums, and I didn't de-admin him at all because he left the forums on his own - not that that actually makes the complaint valid, because forums aren't democracies and forum admins aren't in positions of power that warrant a democratic process behind them. There is no reason members should have a say in whether a mod becomes an admin; I can see the argument for wanting to have a say in who becomes a mod, maybe, since that could affect them, but an admin doesn't have any more power over members than a mod does, so why should they care? The added power an admin has is the power to vandalize the forums as a whole; the owner of the forums obviously has by far the biggest stake in ensuring admins are trustworthy.
Even then, like I said, forums aren't democracies - I don't think I've ever been to a forum where moddings weren't a matter of the admins (or current mods) just picking out regulars who seem to act responsibly, with no member input. Ultimately forums are a privately owned platform, and a private owner would rather mod people they view as responsible and capable, rather than whoever is most popular among the members. (Not that I've been personally involved with the last couple of moddings beyond just okaying the people that were nominated and voted on by the other mods.) I just run my forums the way forums are generally run, and I have no idea why you're trying to lynch me for it.
Rude, offensive or otherwise inappropriate messages, including drama, controversy or other topics that might make others uncomfortable, will be deleted on sight. Repeat troublemakers will be banned altogether. Please keep any websites entered into the website field reasonably family-friendly. You can use BBCode (forum code) to format your messages.
Giving an e-mail address is optional; if it is given, you will be notified by e-mail if I respond to your post. If you fill in a website (this should be your own website, blog or social media profile), it will be linked publicly on your post.

Done.
So basically I wanna be able to click gen 1 only. Then be able to click include regionals, mega and gmax. To have alolan vulpix, mega charizard x or gmax lapras. Same for gen 4 and mega lucario etc. Not asking for new evolutions to be in gen 1 as well.
Just the mega, regionals and gmax to be avaiable for gen the original pokemon came from. New pokemon entirely like pichu Something like wiglett is a new name so its stay gen 2 or 9. cause how i see it alolan vulpix still uses the name vulpix so it should be able to be added to gen 1 if i wanted to sort just gen 1. I'm not asking for you to remove regionals or mega from the gen they introduced in. Just asking for them to also be available for the gen the original Pokemon came from as well. With the ability to turn it off still for those who don't see it that way.
I have a Pokemon team planner. It includes Pokémon from all generations

This reminds me that im really happy with my own handmade (non pkmn) website (shameless plug of linking it here), & I think as a teenager I had a dream id make a pkmn fancomic & affiliate request you.. of course, haven't drawn a single comic (not past the occasional 8-page zine) since I finished university. Adds to the thesis that any fansite is an achievement :-) The comic could still have decent legs tbh, im just not much of a fanartist these days. Alas, maybe a distant future where I choose to have fun again. 😂
Btw, the site address field doesnt accept anything without http in front of it, unless its a quirk of my url. :-) I suppose that goes some extra way in resisting injections? Not that I figure youve left the field vulnerable in any way.
aside from the header font (& its almost fine for the title!) & not thinking of this site as being babygirl pink in soul - i kind of love this theme actually…..
Highly good post, no notes, but please also accept my extra laudations for stubbornly (& unsurprisingly) hand-crafting your mommy blogging entirely free of robot slop
Sleep still works the way it describes; the page generally states the current way it works as the default and then notes where it was different in previous generations. There was one bit where it talked about the "sixth and seventh" generations that was meant to be sixth onwards and I just hadn't updated that sentence when I updated it for the eighth and ninth generation; I have fixed that.
Burns and poison have always dealt the same damage, I believe, unless it's bad poisoning.
Just so I have a clearer idea of what you're hoping for: how would you class cross-generational evolutions? Would you want to see Obstagoon in Gen III with Galarian Linoone and Clodsire in Gen II with Paldean Wooper, or do those stay in the generation where they were introduced? If the former, would you also want to see Pichu and Tangrowth in Gen I?
Most of it is in my webmaster sections! They're a bit old and some of the advice is a little out of date or not quite how I'd put it today, but for the most part it's still valid. Good luck with your site!
How does sleep work in newer generations? And I remember burn dealing less damage than poison
I'd love a feature that includes regionals into whatever gen the original was in. Like if I sorted to have just gen 1 I could include regionals like alolan vulpix or alolan raichu. I personally consider them gen 1. I consider regionals the gen the original is from. It annoying having to add all the other gens just to get the regionals when I wanna pick only gen 1 pokemon. Same applies to mega and gmax. I wanna pick gen 1 with regionals, mega and gmax included.
Hello! Do you have any advice for a new up-and-coming Pokemon fansite? Thank you!
Happy birthday
Goated
Hooray!!
"Base Pokémon" is now one of the options under "Include forms", so you can exclude them. Let me know if you have any issues!
There's no way to filter them out right now, no… I could add that, feels like a pretty reasonable use case.
Awesome, I'm Arcanine!
