Hi all.
We have had reports of member's signatures being edited to include malicious content. You can rest assured this wasn't done by staff and we can find no indication that the forums themselves have been compromised.
However, remember to keep your passwords secure. If you use similar logins on multiple sites, people and even bots may be able to access your account.
We always recommend using unique passwords and enable two-factor authentication if possible. Make sure you are secure.
Hay, I'd like to point you towards this thread. It's called the Time Out, basically a place for ASBers to chill and post about anything. It doesn't have much activity which is why I'm trying to go around and tell newbies that a thread like that exists.
Lapy and Tropy aren't available for Level 1 Trainers in ASB, I'm afraid. You'll have to get rid of them from your squad. Use the Pokemon Level Acquisitions page of the PASBL Website to find Pokemon that are available at your level.
