I forgot how many great Pomf quotes there were:
> He soon afterward became involved in the various Shipping discussions raging at the time, having already become interested in the subject through his original introduction to the anime (via the Ghost of Maiden's Peak episode he saw at that time), and the original English AAML site, and having already converted to PokéShipping from GymShipping due to the results of a now long forgotten debate with a long forgotten debate opponent.
>Shortly after the creation of the original Shippers forum at UPN, he founded the OPS, together with several other major PokéShippers of the day, and proceeded to spend most of the next 6 months debating Shipping
>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
>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.
>These and other exploits in early Pokémon shipping have earned Archaic mention on the TV Tropes Ship To Ship Combat page, in its primary example of the trope.
>As the original archivist of The (In)Complete List of Shippers, Archaic can be credited for having named a significant number of ships.
