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.
I picked squirtle my first time playing it and Charmander my second time Bulbasaur is the easiest to start with and Charmander is the hardest, because of the first few gyms.
I got Charmander for the first five thousand times, then I got Squirtle and alternated between him and Charmander for awhile, then finally decided to try out Bulbasaur.
