The site was created and ran in its entirety by Ryan Dumlao, who was in middle school and high school during its life. Under the alias "PokeAbode Man", he was very involved in the Pokemon Abode forum community, but delegated responsibility and autonomy of the forums to several moderators on the forum. After the site closed in 2001, he continued on to study electrical engineering at UC San Diego and UCLA and is still active in the web development community today.
