Quoted By:
>While not really an active player in the shipping community for several years now, Archaic remains a significant figure in it, and is still considered by some to be somewhat of a de facto leader (if perhaps a figurehead one) of PokéShipping debaters. Technically, he remains President of the Official PokéShippers, however this club has not had any elections conducted since 2001, and can be considered largely inactive.
>Together with Murgatroyd, SAMAS and The Mysterious Blue Hiker, Archaic was responsible for creating the General Rebuttal of PalletShipping, which brought an end to the great OPS/PI debates at the end of 2001.
>His online aliases include:
>昔 Mukashi, a translation of Archaic into Japanese;
>折橋 守 Orihashi Mamoru, a translation of Liam Pomfret into Japanese, and the name he went by amongst friends when he still lived in Japan;
>岩橋 守 Iwahashi Mamoru, an older variant of the above; and
>GirafarigBG, an old "BG name" from the early days of Bulbagarden when all staff adopted similar monikers.
>He is also occasionally known as Arcy, Archie, ムカちゃん, Muka-chan, and as of late, 守くん Mamoru-kun, and, among Bulbagarden staff, the Aussie.
