[PMC Documentary - Research B] Joining the Communitytoday
Adrestio
JustaFlqmingo-----
CONTEXT: I am starting the long pre-production research process for a documentary I want to make farther into the future (I have too many projects right now but researching will take a while). I want the PMC Documentary to focus on the culture, impact and community over the years on the site. This research focuses on the individuals that keep this site lively.
-----
This SHOULD be fairly quick, but if you want to help the production of the possible PMC Documentary just answer the question honestly.
I have hid the answers so that you can answer honestly for the research. If you want to explain why you joined or what compelled you to start interacting (e.g. "PMCSMP looked fun") I may include your take when I write the script!
__RESEARCH QUESTION__
When did you become active in the PMC Community?
Not when you joined the site and just started submitting but when you interacted with Wallposts, talked with other members, participated in Contests/Jams, etc.
This is a difficult question to hone in on as many people have decided to leave, take a break, or others obstacles.
So to narrow it down, find the initial time you were very active.
If it is hard to locate exactly when you became active, best bet is to look at your Wallposts (2017+) or forums comments! (2017-)

Found out about PMC in 2018ish but not really interested in it since I didn't get Minecraft back then
Edit: I was also underaged in 2018

I became active in 2019 under the name, WDGaster2, but I never jotted down my password information anywhere and left it to my laptop to always remember (not a mistake I've made for this account). I ended up taking a rather extended hiatus from PMC and during that time that particular laptop stopped functioning altogether. After getting a new laptop and deciding to return from my hiatus I realized all too late the error of my ways, and thus 5chi5m-9 was born.

If you are making a Documentary, make sure to get the consent of everyone contributing to it. Secondly, it must show actuality.

Oh totally. Anyone I reference or interview I'll be making sure I fully get there approval to include them!

I joined at the beginning of the year.

I also want to comment on the fact that this poll is just another addition to the PMC history books.
What is currently the "New Wave" and "Next Gen", will become known as something totally different in a few years time.
One day we will look back at this thread and say "Remember those old days?"
Hello everyone 10+ years from now!

I found an old history thread from the first 3 years of PMC and even then it had it's own "dark ages" and phases! LUL

My first acc joined in 2020

i joined late 2022 sooo

I originally joined in oct.2021, couldn't figure out how the site works, forgot about it, and then made this account last year

I remember I joined in late 2020. I had somewhat known about PMC prior because of an old 2016 book I still have (and from fellow Skinners on Skindex).

I became active not too long after joining, which was early in October 2022, though for the first couple of days I wasn't as active since I hadn't really settled into the community yet.
PMC was a place I visited to download some maps back around 2019 to 2020 (and maybe some later years as well) along with MinecraftMaps.com. In late 2022, I had been expanding my online presences to a number of places which mainly pertained to interests I had and could serve as hosts of content I planned on making/uploading, and since I had some Minecraft maps in production (they still are as of now), I decided that it would be good to set up an account on a platform for Minecraft content. I didn't do too much at first because at the time I only had a few planned projects to upload, but eventually I decided to make skins as something to do because the planned projects were probably going to take a while to be released. I eventually learned that a number of users here are unexpectedly pleasant, and not too long after learning that I had basically settled into the community as a regularly active user.

Dude, that's awesome! :D
(I know I'm a "intimidating, yellow-named moderator" but I'm just the same. I was just hanging out looking for good Minecraft content and instead found some very helpful, friendly, and entertaining members who welcomed me in!)

I joined (and became active) in middle 2021 - is it New Wave or Decade Dollop?
2
I'd say if you joined near the PMCSMP (and interacted with most of the newcomers around that time) then Decade Dollop.
I consider the "New Wave" as like Oct '21-Dec '22

huh i think i was generally active when i joined (2020), although i definitely have become more since coming back (2022)
uhm- 2020 seems a pretty safe guess? it seems im a decade dollop lol
I remember going on pmc to download skins, but i ended up joining after my sister did. family influence, i guess.

I actually came to this site after a kinda garbage experience me and an old friend of mine had on Minecraft Amino. Pretty much went on the PMC SMP as soon as it was open to me and started interacting with people within a few days of joining the site.
2
Yeah I- by total accident -went to check on my texture packs on the exact PMC 10 year anniversary and joined the PMCSMP quickly after. Meddon and stlMitch were the first two folks I met!

OGs unite!

Yee buddy! Don't see a ton of people from the old days much more.
3
Also i may use these names for my lore as the equivalents of terms like "Gen Z" and "Millennials" on PMC

Around late September/early October 2022
LogMaiden's Houses of Halloween contest motivated me to make more skins and I began interacting with the other contestants and started to make new friends.
