As you can see, the forums are having severe technical difficulties, hence, I have created a backup forum for discussion, while I try to fix/migrate the data.

I have read it, and I reacted. Btw on the question about your gym. First you need to train/catch, some none uber pokemon, all of the same typing. And please use a type that hasn't been used. Maybe Ice? Poison? Bug? Psychic? Some typings are already claimed by people that have yet to start their gyms.
Edit: I also read your question about the rules. I have replied to it (and I put it in the Sinnoh tournament section)
Hey Sprite, when threads are pretty old you can restart them, you get permission to do so. You won't get infracted or so (it stands all in the anouncement)
