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. 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; however, messages obviously posted solely as a pretext for advertising, or advertising shady or inappropriate websites, will be deleted.

Wow, I had a hardcoded list there and it was just missing Clefairy somehow all this time. Thanks! It should be fixed now in every calculator.
Clefairy doesn't seem to get a catch rate boost from Moon Balls in the calculator from gen 6/7 and onward.
Its spheal what do you wantbme to say
Thank you for letting me peek into my own soul with the Favorite Pokemon Picker!! I've finally made peace with my love for Tyranitar <3
I don't see any reason to put my face on this website. It's just not relevant! I grew up on an internet where you had no idea what anyone you interacted with on it looked like and I honestly liked that more than today's modern internet full of everyone's faces; I like judging people by their words and ideas and the aesthetic elements they choose to represent themselves instead of by the appearance of their flesh prison.
I dunno about Eurovision next year, but there wasn't all that much of a stir around boycotting it this year and I'd support doing it again if nothing changes.
Like elsewhere, unfortunately Iceland cares much less about women's sports than men's. I didn't hear much hype about the women's team qualifying in 2022 or 2025, but bear in mind I'm not a sports person so I don't tend to notice what's going on with sports much unless it's really prominent. I very much did notice when we qualified for the men's European championships several years back, though, because it was utterly inescapable. The day of one of the games the driver of the public bus I took to work had his bus all decked out with Icelandic flags and stopped on the way to have everyone do the 'Viking clap'. Never saw that happen around the women's team.
Welp, time to suffer with this 0.635% catch rate!
Also, one last question, will you ever do a face reveal?
Also, how popular is women's international football in Iceland. Just wondering since Iceland's Women's team often qualify for the Women's version of the European Championships. In 2022 and 2025 when they qualified how big of a deal was it at the time in Iceland and what was the hype like?
With regards to Eurovision, do you think Iceland will enter next year?
And were there any people there angry about not entering. I saw a poll that said only 60% of Icelanders were in favour of boycotting it.
I think the surfacing of fans caring whether their favorite is popular or not is inevitable with a franchise the size of Pokemon. Within the culture, fans have some sort of pride they build around their views on the games, what's your favorite gen, what that says about you, and so on. Really it shouldn't matter what others think, but it's not surprising that people DO care about something so arbitrary as the average fan's thoughts on your favorite.
Here’s a tip: there is an official Pokédex website that you can use. I usually use it to scoff at how Terapagos does not fit in with Koraidon and Miraidon, but it can be used for everything.
Thanks. I may not be an adult, but middle school is hard, and as someone who doesn’t have popular kid qualities, it is even harder. I recently started watching the anime again, and I was hesitant to do so. But this did allow me to see I’m not the only person in this situation, and that who I am is who I am. I don’t have to change for a group who I don’t know, let alone a group who annoys me 80% to death. So thank you for letting me know I can enjoy what I want.
Takes longer then to find a shiny Nut
I think the most difficult part has been some of the community management aspects, broadly speaking; when you try to maintain a community of a bunch of disparate people on the internet, you're going to get all sorts of drama going on around you that you have to try to navigate, and that's challenging even for an adult, let alone a teen. But I think I managed okay, overall.
Hi! I just read through the history of the site and found it fascinating. Even though I wasn't familiar with Mew's Hangout, it's amazing to see how that sparked everything!
I do have a question: how difficult has it been to manage and maintain the site for all these years? What were the biggest difficulties that you faced along the way?
If you go left through the grass and up before the Aroma Lady fight here, there is a hidden max repel when you click on the rock. That info was missing (currently using your amazing guide to play and found thus item). I thought you might like to know :)
It means that one of the encounter slots changes if you use pokeradar. If you don't use pokeradar, it uses whatever is in the "Not using pokeradar" box. So just don't turn on the pokeradar and you're good.
The encounter slot is called "Pokeradar" because the idea is that it can ONLY be affected by using the pokeradar, so time of day, swarm, and dual slot don't ever change what's in that slot. Only pokeradar does.
This surprises me beacuase I fought zapdos on my first ultra ball
Hi I would like to understand how I can capture a level 35 madicham

while being in the pokeradar slot but also fulfilling the condition not using pokeradar.
I am very confused by this.
Kind Regards,
moe
