I know most of us have posted in the Get to Know Each Other thread with some fun facts and info about ourselves, but I think it'd be a good idea to have a thread in which all of the staff members here on the site re-introduce themselves and briefly discuss their roles on the site. That way all new members will have something to reference in the case that they need to speak to one of us, or simply to know who it is that's behind all of this. So, I'll begin! My name is Sara, a.k.a. S. Muffin, Muffin, Sara Muffin, etc. I'm an administrator here at the forums, serving as one of the site's Conflict Managers and a co-moderator of several boards. As a Conflict Manager, I basically help to keep the peace among the forums. When I see something happening on the forums that I see will create conflict, I address it. Also, if you are having a problem with someone here, please feel free to send me a PM so that we can discuss the issue and work out a solution. I've been writing fanfiction for many years, which is why I help maintain the Fanfiction board here at the forums. I also co-moderate the Books and Film, Television, & Online Video boards :) A little more background information about me: I have been an Advanceshipper for about nine years now, since I was ten years old. I've seen this community change and evolve many times, but I'm glad that I'm still a part of it now at age nineteen. I consider the people here to be some of my closest friends, and I love to welcome more people into that circle. I'm a fun and friendly person with a lot of love to give. I'm also a full-time college student studying communications and media, which means I tend to get rather busy during the school year. But I'm here for the long run!

This is a great idea Sara.
Well my turn, my name is Jake I have many nicknames Lightning, Nightingale and JJ but many know me here as Lighting_Raichu. I am the Media Administrator I am in charge of making sure that the Art, AMV, and Film&Televison threads run smoothly. I am pretty much a jack of all trades when it comes to art which is why I handle most of those threads.
I mainly focus on the Art thread while busy with my own projects I tend to try and help others with their Artistic side, by encouraging others and hopefully through the tutorial thread that will open soon. I find that our community is very talented but sometimes has a hard time expressing themselves so if you ever need someone to talk to about art I am your guys so just send me a PM if you are ever in need of some tips or just want to talk.
Some extra info, Lighting_Raichu comes from two things a nickname given to me (Lighting) and one of my favorite Pokemon (Raichu). I've been an Advanceshipper just as long as Sara 9 years, and at the age of twenty-one I don't see that changing any time soon. I've seen the community grow from just a simple group of friends with the same goal to a family who looks out for one another. I am extremely glad and honored that I've been given a chance to help others experience the same caring and awesome environment I experience when I met some of the people here. I am an ex baseball/football player gave up two of my favorite sports to focus on my studies. I am currently heading towards my third year of college study Criminal Justice which means I get rather busy but that won't stop me from being here.

Post by Gengar on Jul 4, 2012 6:16:21 GMT -8
I'm The Shiny Gengar, also refereed to as, Gengar, The Gentleman, or The Sir. Like S. Muffin I'm an administrator here, taking on the task of... um... Administrating?
I tend to focus on maintaining the site, creating themes, updating stuff, keeping things active, etc. I'm here to help anybody who has a problem or questions. I help mod the Usershipping, Post Challenge, and Birthday thread.
I've been advanceshipper for about two years, and have been writing for a little over one.
I'm going into my senior year in high school, with my number of classes almost cut in half compared to last year. Then I plan on going to some college some place to do something... let's just say I haven't fully decided yet.
If you plan on becoming bffs with me, you need to know a few things.
1) I love Gengar. Nothing can compete with Gengar, Gengar is the boss. 2) I love bacon. Nothing tastes better than a good strip of bacon, it is the greatest of all foods. 3) I'm a gentleman, even if I occasionally don't act like one.
The End.

Might as well do my part to add to this.
My name is Matt though most people seem to prefer to simply call me Lucifer. I'm a graduate of UW River Falls with a bachelors in Biomedical studies. Many of you might know me primarily from my stories on Fanfiction.net and much to my surprise I had several successful years there writing. I've pretty much retired from writing for various reasons but I still review every once and a while as well as offer help to those that ask for it to try and assist the younger generation of Advanceshippers. I've been apart of the community for the last 5 years and even if I'm not writing anymore I doubt that I'll be able to turn my back on the shipping or even forget about it for many years to come.
Like Gengar I'm a general admin that oversees the entire site to keep everything running smoothly. Because of my fanfiction background I'm also co-moderator of the Fanfiction section with Sara along with the Anime and Manga boards with Wubbzy.
Although it's not as much as used to, I'm still quite into anime and manga and have an extensive list of onnes that I've watched. If you have questions or want me to offer some recommendations feel free to ask over in those threads. The series that I've seen span most genre and can probably find something that anyone could enjoy.
Otherwise I'm a casual gamer ranging from WoW, D3, D&D, and other various games mostly for the social aspect of getting together with friends. Though can still hold my own in most games even if I only casual. I do thoroughly enjoy RTS but play them against other people so rarely that my skills in that area aren't very extensive.

Alright then.
I'm Ranger Jack Walker. This is the name I use everywhere on the internet so if you see a guy with that name (with or without spaces) it's most likely me. Unless the user has posted some form of fanwork, be it fanfiction, fanart, etc. Then it's not me. Most will know me from Bulbagarden however. I was born in 1994 and I live in India.
I moderate the Video Games section and the Music Section. Those 2 sections are relatively quiet and I'm not really needed a whole lot though I still keep an eye out.
I generally put some thought into my posts. This is not something I do intentionally but it's just an old habit from my pre-internet days. My online persona is quite accurate to my real life persona. Though I'm much more forward on the internet. I'm kind of a loner in real life though that doesn't mean I have no friends or anything lol.
I came to this forum to help out with the smooth running of site created by people who had only recently became my friends. My experience in Bulbagarden has made me realize how quickly people come and go on the internet. Thankfully, you guys are different.
As for Video Games, I'm an RTS guy to the core. I'm a fan of the Metal Genre of music but I can appreciate any song. It doesn't have to be metal.
I've been an Advanceshipper for many years now. Atleast 6, but possibly more. Don't remember.
I also battle on Pokemon Online everynow and then. The RU Ter is my preferred tier and the highest I;ve reached in that tier is 23. Which is pretty damn good.

Post by Aurareader on Jul 4, 2012 11:16:28 GMT -8
Well this is interesting!! Might as well do mine.........
Hi! My name here is Aurareader! Although, most people call me Aura since it's shorter... And I'm a moderator here!
I help mod the Battle Arena with my trusty partner-in-crime, Pichu! I help keep the adrenaline pumping in there and come up with arcs..... I say, I been an advanceshipper for 8 months, but I been pretty avid about it. And I'm trying to write my first big fanfic before taking a break and then doing another fic that is not related to Pokemon at all. I been praised on my writing abilities but I want to better,especially with grammar. *shivers* I'm also trying to unleash my artistic side too. My first drawing went better than expected....
I love,love,love anime!!! Some of them are Pokemon,Infinite Stratos,Shakugan No Shana, Soul Eater (Only watched 1 episode but fell in love w/ it), Maid-Sama, and Digimon Frontiers!!!
Other than that, I love video games!!! I usually beat every game I buy.........so my parents are angry with me because of that.. -____-
So if you really want to be really good friend with me...... Here are some stuff you need to know. 1) Ghost Pokemon are the BOSS, but I still like Lucario better just a bit better.... 2)Manners are good too! I usually keep saying please or sorry, so I like people who has manners. 3) MEAT!!! I tried Vegan Food and still undecided about it, but YOU NEED MEAT!!!! Like yesterday I ate Wendy's Baconator....... It was bacony and meaty but there was too much grease 4)Endurance. Yep you need to endure many things from me....like randomness, my immaturness, and my romantic business I do for Usershippings!

Post by PichuAuraGuardian19 on Jul 4, 2012 20:17:02 GMT -8
Yo, what's up, Advancers? It's your favorite writer extraordinaire, PichuAuraGuardian18, otherwise known as the Fresh Prince of Advanceshipping! XD. But in all seriousness, you can either call me Pichu or Gavin.
Okay, so some of you may know me from my hit story on Fanfiction.Net, "Pokemon: League of Ultimates". And if it's not from there, maybe it's from my other up-and-coming story, "Pokemon Fusion Warriors". Well, for those of you who don't know me, let me give you the lowdown.
I am the founder and co-moderator of the Battle Arena thread, with the help of my partner moderator and one of the original battlers, Aurareader, and our other two original battlers, Ying-Yang Yo-Yo and Speedy_Fox_IV. If you'd like to join in one of our epic battles or even our eventful story arcs, feel free!
I'm also the head moderator of the Pokemon section of the forum. I moderate the general discussions about Pokemon and I'm also this site's official PokeNews guy.
Now, a little bit about myself. I am an avid Fanfic writer, and a writer at the same time. Ever since I was little, I had been writing and coming up with stories where I would be in the Pokemon world with Ash or something else like that. And with writing, it became even more fun. My imagination has always been tough to restrain, and so, when I found Fanfic.Net, I was able to "unleash" it. Bit of a joke there.
At first, I didn't really know if I was a shipper or not, but once I discovered Advanceshipping, I was all for it! So, I started writing and posting PLOU, and before I knew it, I was swarmed with fans and hits beyond anything that has been seen in years on Fanfic.net.
Soon after I got started, I met three other Advanceshippers that would end up changing my life. The Shiny Gengar, Beastmode953, and Itssupereffective. At the time, it was just nice to talk about Advanceshipping and writing with them, but little did I know that I would end up becoming one of the founding members of the Advancers.
Now, as a moderator, I'm pretty loose when it comes to rules. If you make a mistake in one of the battles or do something that might get on others' nerves, I'll probably be cool about it and calmly tell you what you're doing wrong. I'm pretty easy-going, so I can pretty much get along with anybody.
My dream is to one day write a book series that is better than my favorite book series, the Harry Potter books, or others that I like, including The Percy Jackson series/Heroes of Olympus series and the Inheritance Cycle. It's not just a goal or dream, though. It's more than that, because I know in my heart, mind, body, and soul that it's gonna happen. And you can bet that I'll credit the Advancers in one way or another when that day comes.
Recently, I've been getting into anime besides Pokemon like Digimon, Cardcaptors, Ranma 1/2, Case Closed/Detective Conan, Soul Eater, One Piece, Naruto, Infinite Stratos, Fairy Tail, Fullmetal Alcehmist: Brotherhood, Maid-Sama, Shakugan no Shana, Blue Exorcist, and more, but I also like older TV shows like The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Home Improvement, Friends, The Cosby Show, George Lopez, That 70's Show, Full House, Family Matters, and more. My favorite show at the moment, though, is The Big Bang Theory, which is pretty ironic seeing as how I'm a Christian.
Besides writing, I enjoy drawing from time to time, reading, hanging out with friends, and I've been told that I'm a very good singer. Really though, when I've had a hard day of work or school, writing calms me down. It's more than a hobby. It's both my life and passion.
And that's it about me. Oh, two more things! My favorite Pokemon is Pichu and I love The Avengers and other superheroes. I could go into the movies that I like, but I think I've said enough.
I'm PichuAuraGuardian18, and I'm a proud member of the Advancers!

Post by Speedy_Fox_IV on Jul 17, 2012 3:46:25 GMT -8
Well I figured that it’s about time that I posted something on here too.
As you can see to your left my user name is Speedy_Fox_IV. If you browse the net you can see that I also go by the names of Smarto2004, Dark-Edge and MachThreeSlug. I happen to co-mod the Pokémon centre with Wubbzy so if you ever have a problem just stop on by and we’ll try to help you out.
I tend to be quiet so I don’t really post much. That doesn't mean I’m not there though. I try my best to keep up with what’s going on. I also tend to post a lot if I really get into the topic at hand. Just take a look at the battle thread to see what I mean. XD
I’m an avid gamer and a good one at that. I happen to be a jack-of-all-trades when it comes to video games so I tend to discuss any genre in the game section.
I've been a shipper for a while now but I've only really started to get in to the fandom part of it only recently, so yay I guess? ...
But in all seriousness I’m a nice guy so I hope that I get to meet you all at some point.
Oh yeah. Before I forget, I try to see both sides of anything, which means that I have a mostly neutral view on things. That is unless it involves something that I really, really like then you can probably see me fanboy about a bit.
I also have this habit of posting my random words of wisdom on the "Spam Fest" thread so if you're into that kinda stuff you should give my posts there a look at some point. I don't do it that often though.
Edit: I should of updated this a little while ago. Anyway...
I'm also a mod of the Battle Arena and the Pokemon General Discussion Board. I'm the one who makes sure that touchy subjects like the discussion specific characters and various shippings don't go off the deep-end. It's a tough job but somebody has to do it.
Oh, and I'm Australian so if you're wondering about the slight spelling differences there's your answer.

Yes, we know. There are a lot of staff members who have been quite busy lately so they simply haven't had the time to sit down and write something about themselves. There's no rush, though, so to the staff members who haven't posted in here yet, just take your time
