Orange Islands Weekly Update

Welcome to the Orange Islands!

We are one of the largest and most active Pokémon TRPGs (Text Role Playing Game) on the net. Not only that, but we boast a huge number of new features and opportunities not available anywhere else. We realize that there are a lot of Pokémon RPGs around, and we know how hard being original can be because of that. However, we strive to make every aspect of our RPG fresh and new, even the basics!

Start your own quest in one of the most exciting and unexplored regions: the Orange Islands!
Battle your way up to the top just as you would in the games; defeat gym leaders, catch wild Pokémon, and become champion!
Build yourself the ultimate team from one of nearly 200 brand new and exclusive Pokémon!
Battling isn't the only aspect of the Pokémon world, is it? Explore the world as more than just a trainer; compete in Pokémon Contests, breed your Pokémon to be the best, or go on Ranger missions to save the world!
Explore the brand new region of Zeralis, or take a trip down memory lane through any (or all) of the original regions from the games!
Is RPing not for you? We also have an ongoing project to expand our dex into one of the largest ever seen. Whether you're a spriter, an artist, or just someone that wants to get rid of some extra free time, this is for you!

So what are you waiting for? The longer you wait, the more you miss out on. Click here to register and start your adventure today!

That is our set ETA, and unless I get in a bus crash on the way home from my football game tomorrow, we shall be holding true to it. Like I said before, there will be lots of festivities when we reopen, so keep your eyes peeled! Speaking of which, the Player Profiles forum is back up and open, so while you wait, you can spend some time there! Ads? Gross! For those of you who see them, ads can be quite bothersome. They flash and overall add a negative experience to the board. For those of you who use FireFox or another ad-blocking program, you guys are jerks, because when you block the ads, Zathyus Networks looses profits, without which they can't pay for the servers this board is on (100% of the revenue from the ads goes back into the boards). Aside from that, ad-block users are also left with an ugly blue block at the top and sometimes the bottom of the board. For longer than we've been using it, ZetaBoards has offered a feature called Ad Removal. Unfortunately, it costs $5 per 22,000 or so page views, which might seem like a lot, but for a board our size, it's not. But just the other day, they opened up a new way to pay for Ad Removal, a feature called TrialPay. Basically, you follow the link through ZetaBoards to the TrialPay site and complete just one offer, and you earn us 25,000 page views worth of ad removal credits! And you can do as many offers as you'd like! Best of all, unlike those scam sites you see around the net, these are offers from real companies like RealPlayer, Gap, Disney, Blockbuster, Gamefly, and more! If you would like to contribute, just follow this link and follow the instructions. Once you finish, PM me the activation code it gives you: http://www.trialpay.com/productpage/?c=1ecfcb3&tid==6rG-x1-&sid=960331 Wait, What? The weekly update is over already? Sorry, but there's not much to talk about this week! So I guess this is so long until tomorrow night! -Trainer X -Wondering Why People Keep Finding Ghosts Stalking Him In His Updates Edited by Trainer X, Nov 13 2008, 10:25 PM.

Also I checked the link and it says Boo. Is that Boo Radley? I always though he was more human like and was white but I guess the book was wrong.

Also I guess it is Flareth. Doesn't matter soon we shall see Flarios. Unless TX gets into a bus crash. Edited by Dragonfire, Nov 13 2008, 09:54 PM.

So if TX gets in a bus crash we'll be able to see Flarios, probably. Not that I want TX to get in a bus crash or anything.

The one and only Posts: 2,674 Group: Global Moderator Member #73 Joined: May 27, 2007 RPG Profile http://orangeislands.net/topic/325780/1/#new	Problem. I can't see anything. At first I thought it was just taken down so the admins could work on it then I started to wonder when I had to restore profiles by clicking on a link then going to the forum, but now I realize that I can't see the Plaza and RPG forums. If SR can see them iirc he can then shouldn't I be able to see them as well.

The one and only Posts: 2,674 Group: Global Moderator Member #73 Joined: May 27, 2007 RPG Profile http://orangeislands.net/topic/325780/1/#new	That's fine, but I think I may know whats going on. For some reason at my own forum, Houndoom wasn't able to see the Staff Forum. Yet he is set to be able to see it. I changed some things but I haven't heard back from him yet. It may be the same problem here. Though why it would effect only me I don't know. EDIT: Okay then so I used TMM's profile to get to the Plaza and then I went to the RPG Updated topic and got to the forums. But it will be quite tedious having to update like that.
