Hi I am Epikhairz. I am more commonly known for being a forum moderator on PO, but recently, the PO League has caused me to take a shine to RBY OU. After losing 0-2 to marcoasd in the RBY OU gym, he directed me here to learn more, and I've also heard Isa talk about this place quite a bit. I've also started talking to Raish recently and he also directed me here :]
I only started RBY OU 3 or 4 days ago, and already I am 1200+ points on the PO ladder. I'm hoping I can keep it, get to know more people, and play some RBY :]
PS: did i discover this place too late - after lurking a bit i can tell that this forum has been semi-dead for quite a while

More or less, yes. As the name implies, ~2010 was a pretty good time to have found out about this. That's not to say there isn't still a dedicated core of users around here to talk/play RBY with, though (me not being one of them, I'm quasi-retired). Also be sure to check out Lutra's forum, he does tournaments (whole seasons of 'em) and stuff.

Hi, happy to see you here. This is a good place where you can find a lot of interesting threads and improve your game. As you can see, there are interesting ones being posted recently, too (Blizzard or EQ vs 31% Rhydon).
About the community and RBY in general, the situation is critical at the moment somebody retires, or takes a break, because nobody promotes RBY, especially smogoners. We lost a lot of good players (Lutra, Crystal, Jorgen, Velli, Kraut, D'avid Chansey just to mention the first ones that come to mind) Isa and me have pushed to have two rbyers in the PO League, and the discussion about Wrap is bringing attention (and hopefully new players) as well. The only two things taking away people from rby are those two myths: 1-there are no tournaments around 2- RBY has not a metagame. Obviously, we have to show the falsity of those.

hey welcome bro.. yeah it seems not as active as it probably was but there's still like 4 or 5 of us who open up discussions and suchlike, and some who generally lurk a bit like jorgen.
In terms of making it more active there's an introductory video being planned (Isa we mustn't forget about this) which should make it onto showdown's news, and with any luck we can inspire them from across the po/smogon border as well.
