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.

I find it funny that, originally, almost all of these buttons represented an actual style you could use on the site. Most of those styles are long gone now (Cave Style, Dark Blue Style, Arcanine Style, etc.). To newer visitors, the Pokémon choices must seem so random.
i read this back in - oh god middle school. i'm an adult with a car payment. anyway!
while curse is not a creepypasta story, it always stuck with me in the delightfully haunting way the really good ones did. i've been playing a new firered horror romhack based on old creepypastas and rumors (you might know the one) and it's reignited my love of these stories, so i had to come back and find this one after all these years. thank you for your work maintaining the website and also for writing one of my favorite pokemon stories!
I found my old pokewalker and I've been getting my butt handed to me in battles so I looked up a guide, and just saw this was made recently?? Thank you for the guide, you've saved my pokewalker life, pika!
This was an absolute nostalgia blast!! It's lovely to revisit these characters after so many years. I first read "The fall of a Leader" when I was much younger, and it's been like, 13 years since then? Absolutely crazy. I still love these characters and I'm glad you do too. I also love that Nightmare gets a lot of screentime in this one after spending a decent chunk of time off screen in SS/TFOAL. I always liked her, but (for many personal and LGBTQ reasons) I relate to her a lot more in the present day compared to when I first read those stories.
"Passíusálmur nr. 51" by Steinn Steinarr, one of my favorite poems. Loosely translated, it goes:
On the Valhús hill
they're crucifying a man.
And people buy a ride
on the city buses
to look at him.
It's sunny and warm
and the sea is smooth and blue.
It's a handsome man
with a prominent forehead
and dark blond hair.
And a girl with sea-green eyes
says to me:
Don't you think the man is bored
being crucified?
Obviously, the inspiration is mostly from the last few lines, of the little girl with green eyes looking at the crucified man and observing that that he's probably bored up there, without quite comprehending the torture or the cruelty of it.
I really need to do a full playthrough of this so that I can properly determine what my OC's opinions on all the routes would be.
Out of curiosity, what is the poem that this fic was based on?
Potentially. Could you talk me through your use case a bit better so I can understand what would actually be needed? As in, is this a matter of you playing ROM hacks that change catch rates for individual Pokémon, fangames with fakemon, the FR/LG Safari Zone, something else?
Hey, I use this calculator a lot for my hardcore nuzlockes and I'm wondering if there could be an 'advanced mode' or something that allows the raw input of custom catch rates.
going to test this later when i have the time, thank you so much for your help ^^
The unmodified vote script can't do that as it stands, no. Try saving this page instead, though, and then it should work if you write all the values each answer applies to separated by commas in the value attribute of the radio input.
Honestly maybe I should just make that the default vote quiz script, since it still works with a single value per option and just makes it more flexible…
Thank you! I think the main thing I'd need to know is if with the vote quiz I can assign multiple results to an answer: for example having the results dandelion, sun, and buttercup all assigned to the answer yellow on a "What's your favourite color" question
Ooh, interesting! Feel free to contact me if you'd like any help with that - it sounds like what you want would be a bit different from these quiz types (correct me if I'm wrong), so you'd probably need to adjust the script a bit, but it should be possible. I read the first arc of Warriors recently and have some friends who love the series and would probably enjoy your quiz too, so I'd love to help it get made.
for a while ive had the idea for a warrior cats name quiz. a really impractical one. im talking hundreds of results. i actually started work on categorizing results recently (linked above. not complete) but couldnt actually make anything real with it because i didnt know how to code it. anyways thank you for solving that problem i will now use this new knowledge to fuel my hubris and make a very bad quiz that will almost definetly have skewed results
wow i somehow was interested like 70% of the time
Yo! Thanks for the calculator!
hewwo! i use your favorite pokemon picker a lot and it's a really helpful tool! i was wondering if it would be okay to request a toggle for "only unevolved pokemon", like the currently present one for only fully evolved pokemon? i sometimes use the picker to help decide on a starter pokemon and this would make that easier to do. thank you very much in advance!!
Glad it stuck with you!
Pre-elite four, yes. Post-game when you get Timer Balls you can get it up to 9.265% with sleep or 7.095% with paralysis.
Being transparent, I’m a 20 something college student, but istg I remember stumbling upon this website around 2009 and being amazed by it even if I couldn’t properly read yet
Been staying up doing Pokemon quizzes to relieve my ASD/ADHD zoomies at 3AM, only to stumble upon a literal treasure trove
Never personally knew you, and probably never connected, but it’s awesome to see such a passion project going strong!
