The '''Rayman Pirate-Community''', commonly abbreviated to '''Pirate-Community''' or '''PC''', has been the largest ''[[Rayman (series)|Rayman]]'' community since the first deletion of the [[RaymanZone]] forums on December 20, 2004. It was founded on August 8th 2003 by Hunchman801, an ex-moderator of the French and English sections of [[RaymanZone]], shortly after he was unfairly banned. Pirate-Community can currently be found at [https://raymanpc.com/ raymanpc.com]. | The '''Rayman Pirate-Community''', commonly abbreviated to '''Pirate-Community''' or '''PC''', has been the largest ''[[Rayman (series)|Rayman]]'' community since the first deletion of the [[RaymanZone]] forums on December 20, 2004.
