I think with TCGO we could do some sorts of trades on there, whether it'd be Packs, cards, heck even coins. Also, people could bring up their own good, fun, or unique Deck strategies to the table, allowing for people to make easier teams if they cant think of something with what they have. Well, that lil speech wasnt bad, right?

I'm talking as a member of the Competitive section of this forum when i say that i don't feel the need of anything in particular: we are organizing tournaments, there is hype for the US National meta and there will be much more to discuss about pre-World Championships metagame, but i can understand you want to do something also for that part of the community which is not interested in the competitive side of this game.. and i would be glad to help you if only i had any idea.

What makes you come to this site?: I'm fond of this community and i wish i could have been here since X Y period, where i suppose there were much more active and funny members i've never had the pleasure to meet. Well.. if there is something i would really like it could be Justin coming back strongly for the next Pokemon game to bring a new flow of members and activities for this amazing community.

We could do more streaming various game on the VGC2015Forum twitch channel (we need a new name for that twitch channel ) I would love to Stream Explorers of Sky if my internet was better, maybe ill try it this week just to see if its better since i have a stronger connection than last time

I think a strong community stream project would be a helpful supplement until Justin returns, though I imagine the number of people who can stream via 3DS is few and far between, since it requires a custom capture card. What kind of games would everyone be interested in seeing in lieu of Pokemon and other 3DS titles?

I have a PS4 and can stream titles like Witcher 3, Arkham Knight, Dying Light and Mortal Kombat.

I also have some games that I can stream from my PC, but mostly shooters nobody plays anymore and League of Legends.

I have a capture card that's compatible with pretty much every console (besides handhelds, of course), so I'd be able to stream...well, anything that I own, heh. I have a good bit of down time since I'm in the process of changing hospitals, so I'd be free to get this rolling if others are interested.

Strengthening the Smogon presence here is something Rogue and I both strongly advocate for, as we are both Smogon players at heart and are more loyal to its metagame than VGC's, believe it or not. We've been playing in Smogon frontiers for a long time, and I've been following them since the Pokemon Online days. I'm primarily an OU/UU battler, but Rogue dabbles in everything. If there is a genuine interest for it, we'd be more than happy to bring the hype for Smogon here.

As far as self-produced content, I'd personally like to see more of it. I started a lore thread and it flopped, but the Pokestrange thread did really well and I found it to be fun and interesting. Justin too mentioned to me that he thought it was a cool thread, so I think there's a genuine interest for it.

The issue here is regular users vs "casual" users, so to speak. We have a strong population of regular, dedicated users like yourself, Anime, Eckley, GMX, Hojunhu, and the regular "#TeamForum" crew, and then we have tons of people who join but never leave the Trading forum. This isn't necessarily wrong or bad, just an observation. The goal would likely be to somehow capture the attention of these players and bring them to the rest of the forum.

Hojunhu came up with a really awesome and exciting idea that might be able to bring some users over, and I'm pretty stoked to get it going once I can get Justin on board with it. As always, though, I think the biggest influx would happen with Justin promoting the forum on his stream once he comes back.

I have a couple ideas to run by Rogue to see if I can convince him to help me get them rolling. I'd like to jump on the stream team too.
