Contact me
When E-mailing Me:
- Do not send me chain letters - this includes any kind of e-mail whose main point is that I'm supposed to forward it to other people, no matter what it is. To just do away with them already: I'm not going to fill out some long, pointless sheet of questions about myself for a person I barely recognize, I can't be a very good friend of yours if you think I need to forward a chain letter to you to prove it, your wish isn't going to come true if you pass this letter on to twenty people, if they really had access to your credit card information they wouldn't spare you just if you passed on a chain letter, Bloody Mary is not going to kill you at midnight tonight if you don't pass it on, not passing it on does not mean seven years of bad luck, no chain letter miracle story is ever going to convert me to Christianity, I won't drink and drive, I highly doubt a company would donate money to a girl with cancer depending on how many signatures some e-mail chain letter gets, and almost all ZOMGTHEMOSTHORRIBLEVIRUSEVER e-mails are hoaxes. Don't send me any of that stuff, and if you have a tendency to send such things to your entire contact list, then please don't add me to it. If you send me a chain letter of any sort, consider your time wasted, because I'll either completely ignore it or write you an irritated reply about never sending me chain letters again. Probably the latter.
- Do not send me invitations to join any kind of social networking site, online game or whatever, especially not if I don't have the faintest clue who you are. I invariably ignore such invitations. If you know me well and really think I'd love said site (and I can tell you right away that I'm not going to love any sort of social networking site whose only point is being on it and adding a few hundred people you've never talked to as "friends"), tell me that personally and describe what it's about yourself instead of using an automated invitation system.
- Read the FAQ carefully and see if what you're going to say is answered there, even if what you wanted to say is not a question or if you really think nobody else will have asked me that.
- If you sent a question or something and I haven't responded within 48 hours, it should be safe to e-mail me again - I probably just need a kick. Unless, of course, I'm on vacation somewhere or something, in which case I have generally noted this in the updates on this site.
- You can send me random questions about Pokémon or the website, or even just about myself as long as it isn't too personal, whatever, as long as it's not in the FAQ. I tend to be bored and I enjoy responding to e-mails (as long as they are not mind-blowingly stupid).
- If I seem to be snapping at you, I'm just in a bad mood and taking it out on you. Please don't take it personally or think that I'm normally a jerk.

When IMing Me:
- Make sure you have something of worth to say - I don't like being bombarded by windows when I sign on, so unless you're actually my friend, as in that I talk to you regularly, please don't just randomly say hi because I'm there. I'm not one to start a conversation with a person I don't know very well, so don't expect me to.
- Again, the FAQ should be read first.
- If you don't have a very good reason to assume I know who you are (and "a very good reason" is as in "you are somebody I have talked to on numerous occasions under the same name you are now using as your MSN name", not "you think I remember the e-mail addresses of everybody who has ever IMed me about anything"), please introduce yourself at the start of the conversation. Or at least tell me where you know me from.
- Please, please, please, if I'm not responding, don't write a huge monologue of "Why are you ignoring me???" and "You never respond!!" Just draw the logical conclusion that I'm probably not at the computer (gasp!). This applies especially if my status is set to "Away" or "Busy", but I never remember to change my status so even if I'm showing up as online, don't count on it. I really don't like waking up with five hundred IM windows from people complaining about how eeebil I am for never responding to everything they said to me in the middle of the night, and who have now signed off so I can't correct them.
- If you have added me, please be aware that there are MSN viruses circling around. If a contact seemingly sends you a link out of the blue and signs off immediately afterwards (or, really, if you receive any link out of the blue), DO NOT CLICK IT. The reason I am specifically warning you about this here is that as of recently, I've had it with being spammed with MSN virus links and will indiscriminately block everybody I get one from. Consider yourself warned.
- For the love of God, do not invite me to huge convos with a bunch of people I don't know! It is irritating and I will leave immediately (and if you do this repeatedly, I will block you).
MSN messenger: antialiasis@hotmail.com [Do not ever attempt to send me e-mail at this address! I've never viewed my Hotmail inbox in my life and made the account only for the messenger. Use the Gmail one for e-mail!]
I'm also registered and visit more or less every day (don't count on it, though) at the following places, where I can be contacted through whatever means of private messaging exist there:
- My forums (Butterfree)
- Serebii.net Forums (Dragonfree)
- The Pokémon Community (Dragonfree)
- The PokéMasters Forums (Dragonfree)
I also visit my guestbook about as frequently as I check my e-mail, so if you've got a comment or question concerning the site that you'd like to post publicly, you can do that too.
Oh, and I have a Twitter account. You can ask short questions there as well if you want.
