Welcome to the Cave of Dragonflies guestbook.
The site and forums are two different entities. I have mods on my forums; they have nothing whatsoever to do with the site, and there will never be staff that will have anything to do with the site.
I tried to e-mail this to you in response to your complaining messages sent through the contact form, but apparently you didn't give a real e-mail address even on your original account, so I'll put it here where you'll see it:
We're all for second chances. That's why it takes a few infractions to get banned, and even if you do get banned, you can come back in three months.
You, however, abused these chances. You reacted to the first infraction you got in the most immature possible way by throwing a fit over it, spamming and flaming people, pretending you didn't do it, and knowingly breaking further rules seemingly just to annoy us about it. And when this got you banned, you didn't sit back and think about how you could change your behaviour: you made more accounts to spam and complain more. You clearly have no real will to follow the forum rules and be a civil member, and that's what results in permanent bans. And because you kept making more accounts to complain while even actively threatening that you would never stop, you were IP banned.
You have given us no reason to trust you when you now claim that you're sorry and won't do it again. You've shown that you don't stop to think about consequences before you do things and that if you're reprimanded you will simply get angry and resist harder, not think about what you're doing and change your behaviour. You've given every indication that you would get into trouble again if we let you back in now.
I don't care if you come back at some point and have by then become a better, wiser person who never breaks any rules. But rushing to register five more accounts the moment you've been banned is not a sign you're a better, wiser person. Nor is thinking you can make everything better by registering yet another account to make a long tearful message about how much you want to be unbanned. It's a sign you don't understand at all how forums are run and have a long, long way to go before that point.
And I don't believe that second account was really your sister. I'm sorry if it actually is, but trolls and troublemakers come back pretending to be their siblings all the time. Telling your sibling to register at a forum where you just got banned is a terrible idea because the administration will be forced to assume it's actually you. The hypothesis you're lying about the sister is further supported by the fact that you had already responded to being reprimanded by lying, namely by editing the offending statement out of your post and claiming it wasn't there. Any reasonable person would conclude at this point that it's actually you, and it's a further reason not to trust you because you're trying to trick your way back instead of acknowledging that you screwed up in a truly monumental fashion.
You can be in the guestbook if you want, provided you don't make trouble here, but stop trying to get back onto the forums. Being so insistent on being let back in is extremely counterproductive to the goal of looking like you've properly realized why your behaviour was unacceptable and your ban was justified, which is the first step to seeming like you could become a rule-abiding member.
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.

What are your thoughts on Iceland's EU referendum? Do you want to join?
Silvía Nótt is a parody character played by actress Ágústa Eva Erlendsdóttir - think Sacha Baron Cohen's characters like Borat or Ali G. In Iceland she existed as the star of an interview show similar to and inspired by Da Ali G Show, where she, in character as this incredibly ditzy, obnoxious diva, would interview people who thought she was for real for the entertainment value of her ridiculousness contrasted against how the interviewees reacted to her. (Disclaimer: I never watched her show myself, but that's what I understand it was like.)
Her Eurovision song was similarly an obvious parody sung in character as this ridiculously self-important fictional character. In the Icelandic version, the chorus literally starts "Congratulations, Iceland, on me being born here", and the backup dancers were dressed like security guards in suits and sunglasses only to dramatically pull of their pants at the climax. She acted rude and obnoxious and preposterously awful in all the interviews around it in Iceland, too, because that was the joke and the whole point of her character!
One way or another, though, the official English translation and staging kind of muted the obvious parody nature of it to the point that people outside of Iceland couldn't even tell that it was a parody and a parody character and just thought she was an actual obnoxiously self-important diva, so all in all her entry was a big flop in the actual contest, nobody really got the joke, and the whole thing was kind of embarrassing.
So she was not cancelled, because she is not a real person, and the entire point of her was to be like that.
Was watching clips of classic Eurovision entries and one came up that made want to find out more. What was the reaction in Iceland to their Eurovision 2006 Sylvia Night entry and the way she conducted herself in interviews (she was kicking journalists out and being very rude). I remember reading news articles with people claling her behaviour a disgrace and being mad at the way she acted.
So just wondering if in Iceland she got cancelled, a bad reputation, or thrived off the negative rep. And was she famous prior to Eurovision and was she always thia arrogant and rude?
Really good information! It helps me to write content in better way.
cool
My oldest affiliate is Pokémon Rebirth, which has been around since 2001, although it didn't become an affiliate until 2005, and technically the project is now complete so the site is dormant since 2021. Sneasel Plushie, though, is also an affiliate since 2005 and last updated this December.
Who is your longest affiliate at this point? And are there any old Pokemon fansites from 2006 that are still updated 20 years later (othen than the big ones)?
Happy Pokémon Day! To celebrate, I finally figured out that my top 5 Pokémon are Rotom, Unown, Arceus, Ho-oh, and Zoroark!
Ugh, thanks for letting me know. I had no idea.

:D
Man… I remember reading IV guides and other things off this site back in middle school. I'm blown away that it still exists and is still active. You've inspired me to make my own personal site, so thanks for that!
Godspeed, and thanks for all the tips throughout the years~
all that aside, it's absolutely incredible to see both the users who popularized the mew trick show up on this forum over 20 years later! especially as someone who's been checking in on this site every once and a while for some ~8ish years (pales in comparison, but still) and am always happy to see it's still being updated, being a fan of pokemon games and all their weird bugs and quirks is something you can never really fully lose interest in and i think that's wonderful
was trying to figure out what that acronym even meant and doing a little digging it's a transphobic nazi dogwhistle. just wonderful (intense sarcasm)
butterfree, if you see this, i strongly suggest deleting the comment above, as it happens to be hate speech disguised on a surface level as support.
and to any trans women or queer people in general who stumble across the above comment and get caught off guard like i was. you are loved. above commenter is a bigot trying to bait people. take my hand. let's hit them with hammers together
THANK YOU for telling me this. I was using a level ball to catch a lv 6 numel at full HP and it did not work multiple times. Other catch rate calculators said it should be a 100%. And googling why the ball wasn't working didn't give me any answers either.
What Pokémon are you trying? Note that any Pokémon that already have a catch rate of 255 (like earlygame bugs/rodents, etc.) will never have their catch rate boosted by Apricorn balls, because Apricorn balls work differently from other balls: they modify the catch rate directly, and it's capped at 255.
thank you for the type glitch explanation . im in diglett cave rn and was very confused when it showed super effective against my bulbasaur XD
It doesn't seem to be working for love balls or level balls? The catch rate isn't changing when you change the levels or gender
So cool! I was never aware of this before, and you explained it so well!
Genuinely an amazing read. I cannot imagine a better way to honor the memory of a lost friend than to document so thoroughly what made them special, both mechanically and to you.
