View Full Version : New PE2K.com!

The new PE2K.com website has been launched!

Status
Ever since day 1 of this website back in 2000, I’ve been the only one that worked on the website. But my priorities have shifted recently and that meant little or no time working on the site. I am happy to say though that I am doing fine and I just graduated from college (yay me). Since my education is finally done, I think this is a great time to relaunch the PE2K website. Although the site has not been updated, the forum has been running just fine thanks to the moderators and the members that kept the community going. I haven’t been gone entirely all this time, someone has to keep the server running.

Old Content
All the content from the old website remains, such as the sprites, pictures, information, etc. You can still access that content from the left navigation bar (there’s a tab shortcut to the sprites on top of the page).

What’s New
With this new website, I will be sharing the stage with my staff from the forum, as well as other members of the forum that were invited to post here on the website. So you will see others posting here on the website as well. We will post Pokemon news here as you would expect, but you’ll also see announcements about interesting events happening over at our forum, such as the WAR and URPG. There’s a lot of great fan art and fan fiction from our users at our forum, so we’re planning to share some of that here to give them some extra spotlight for their great work.

Of course, to make it easier for you to get the information you want to read, you’ll be able to sort posts by category (Pokemon News, Pokemon Strategy, etc), by using the category feature.

Comments Section
Also, if you want to comment on posts here on the website, you will use your forum’s account to post in the comments section. So if you already have a PE2K forum account, you are all set! If not, you can simply create an account at the PE2K forum, and you can use that to post comments here.


Hopefully by having more people contributing to the website we’ll be able to offer more content on the website on a regular basis. Anyways, hope to see you back soon!

Hehe, I saw this yesterday when I went to get a Whishcash sprite. I was like 'Uhh... has someone hacked Pe2k?' because it said something about not being able to find what I was looking for... :o

But yay. Glad you're back, and grats on graduating ^^

Yeah, I go to the forum through the main site, so I was like, "Um, where'd the links go?" after the thing of, "What happened?". I like the new look, it just took me by surprise.

Haha, great new site, Ryan.

I saw the new look about 2-3 days ago when I was in the mood to start spriting.

Thanks for keeping us up to date, Ryan. :3

Now, to work on the skins. ;D

I'm glad the site is finally getting updates. :D

I don't approve of your new website staff though. The podcast isn't worthy of a staff promotion, imo. There are better people that could be promoted though. :D

I'm glad you've finally graduated college and are going to update the site now~ PE2k was definitely missed!!

First off, a hearty congratulations on passing college ^^ What degree did you get? ;)

Second, great job on the design. A bit plain right now, but I have no doubt you'll whip up some brand spankin' new designs for it ^^ *Cough*Articuno*Cough*. Did you hear something? XD

All that's missing in the Platinum sprites, but that won't be difficult to find. Wish I knew how to rip things from games...I tried with my hands, but I just broke my DS.... :(

So...Yes. Congrats XD

Yea, I don't believe the podcast deserved a promotion. There were and are people who deserve it more.

No not me.

And Im excited to see the new site up hopefully it will do even better than the old PE2K.com :happy:

Wow, congrats Ryan on graduating, and I gotta say I'm exited to hear about the new site... Tho I noticed it yesterday, when you made that post that said Test, but could not be seen in the section only in what was the newest in the section that you were working on the side, tho your post explains what that was. :D



So what's next?

A new VB update?

If you need any help on the website then I'm sure there are some volunteers on the side, that can help you with the new side, if you need any help then I offer my service, tho I doubt I'll be that useful. ;)

Just read the cool news on Bulbapedia and posted my boring comment. :D

Would there perhaps be any way to edit our comments? I didn't know putting In ":D" and such would automatically turn Into a smiley. Because now my comment looks kind of... rude, I guess, with "D:" being that angry looking smiley. (Not that It's a really a big deal, I'm just anal about my postings on things).

Nice, very nice! The overall design is simple and flows well... and for some reason I just adore the cute line of pokemon starters at the top. That has to be my favorite part. <3

Congrats on graduating like so many others have said before... that's a wonderful accomplishment.

I hope to see many great things happening all around the website now... can't wait! ^^

New here to PE2K, but I joined in time to see the old site and the new one, and I really like the new layout. :happy: Congratulations on graduating, I'm heading into my last year of highschool myself. Anyways, just thought I'd leave a post showing support. Good luck with whatever plans you have for the site, I'm sure they'll be a success.

I honestly don't care for the new layout or anything (like I could do anything better), but I'm rather overjoyed to see PE2K active once more. Now that apparently more than just Ryan can post on the main website, PE2K should be a better entity on the whole.

Everyone who makes a significant contribution to this forum deserves to be promoted. >_>

Yaaaaaaaay, Ryan! :banana:


I don't notice anything different. Weird... At first I thought it was a new URL because nobody has been replying to my PMD2 rescue, but I guess all the traffic is with Platinum now. I don't ever intend on buying that game; I think that (minus PMD) Pokemon has lost its spark. The TV show, the games... It's just getting to be...a little bit...repetitive, if you know what I mean. But no offense to fans of anything outside PMD. I might buy Sky when it comes out, I don't know. I really should, but I need a new bed and mattress, and that gets a bit expensive... Sigh...

I'm just gonna see if anyone besides UPC (who deleted theirs) has an A-OK mail generator. I really, really, REALLY hate cheating, but I doubt anyone will ever rescue me within this week. I've never cheated before, but... Here goes!

What would be neat is if PE2K did a contest for website submission. It could be an article they make of any kind, artwork, etc, etc.

But changing websites too frequently can get irritating. D:

If we want such contests, we should have different skins for it as well. :9

When will pe2k’s website be back to normal updates?
f) Probably never. [15]
e) Next year [5]
c) Sometime this fall [5]
a) 1 or 2 months [4]
b) Sometime this summer [3]
d) Sometime this winter [3]

Let’s hope it’s sooner than never!

Just thought I'd put a result from Member of the Season here. Way to prove them wrong Ryan. haha!

This morning when I came on, I thought PE2K was hacked, so I was like, pffft, it hasn't been updated for over two years, who want's to hack it anyway. ;]

Nice job with the updates. Although I recommend a new layout. The current one looks like, a default "Dark Grey" layout with a banner for the top.

Oh, and congratulations for "graduating" college. <3

Congrats on your graduation! Since I've already been a member for a good amount of time, I am honored to be a part of something I think was already good, as it becomes even greater. Thank you for all of your hard work. As a Sith Lord, I feel it is now my duty to kill you and take it for my own. Just kidding. (LOL)
