Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
I've actually been on since 2 PM EST; apologies if you couldn't see me, but I've been on for a couple of hours now. Perhaps you were looking for my IGN as "Cloud9 NxtLvl?" It's actually C9 NxtLvl.
