Now it's hard to actually find any that are like that, as the majority of them have died or disappeared from existence.


I never liked how the competition became so hostile that there are only a few sites left for information, and they're all bickering about how one of them is 'better', or how they get 'news first'. It doesn't matter, it's freaking Pokemon.

Also, speaking of dead sites, whatever happened to the PPN? I was around when it 'disappeared', but I never got a story on it. I'd heard some...pretty bad bits and pieces, but I didn't know what the truth was.

I don't know if anyone actually found out about what happened to PPN. There were a bunch of stories floating around at that time.

But yeah, Pokemon fansites have gone dooown. It's pretty sad.

And the hostile competition was always extremely ridiculous. Being active in some (much) larger fandoms than PKMN, I've seen the webmasters get along. It's not about competition in those fandoms. They're really really good friends--like good enough to meet and hang out in person. And yet for some reason there's always been this hostile attitude between some webmasters in the POKEMON fandom. It's Pokemon for crying out loud. There's not so much of that anymore because most of the sites are gone. But looking back on it all, it was so pathetic.

Pokemon webmasters totally meet in person.

Or at least me and Paul did.

Twice, even!

(WTF, Faltzer is banned?!)

I know they do, but rarely. And not like the webmasters in the other fandoms. (Some of them are living together.... O_o)

Do you think it would be a good idea if someone compiled a list of all the remaining Pokémon fansites that are still running? I'd be interested to see how many there is, and what information they're providing. I used to love looking at all of them.

Uecil September 4th, 2010 12:05 AM

That would be nice, but that's why you have pokemon top sites ;D
I have a pokemon fan site

kasabian_ September 4th, 2010 12:50 AM

So do I

But there are so many I don't think it will be that easy to do something like that. Anyway it would be like advertising and my little finger tells me it's against the rules of PC :P

Pikachu Trainer~ September 4th, 2010 1:46 AM

I don't see a problem with it, as you are allowed to advertise websites but not forums. So it's pretty harmless posting a list of all the Pokémon fansites. I'd be willing to do it if it's allowed and I'll make sure it's categorized alphabetically so people can access it easily, each site will have a short description as well. I'll PM one of the mods here about it.

WonderGirl September 4th, 2010 2:13 AM

Yay a new way of advertising :D

Oh and is it legal to put anime episodes in your site? D:

Gardenia101 and I started a website earlier this summer, it was probably one of the best sites I've made!

I started a site, and didn't continue with it (but I still have it) called The Poke Source.
I was hoping to get it to be like Serebii...how does Serebii get all the top information and stuff?

From all over ;D
Although Serebii can be kinda slow, I usually get it before them...

aRedMoon September 6th, 2010 7:56 PM

I love how ~20 minutes later has become "slow"...

aRedMoon October 9th, 2010 4:47 PM

So... you need a new graphics host? There are a ton out there... you could even just use tinypic or imageshack.

Bloo October 9th, 2010 5:05 PM

I'm having a sort of... dilema. Okay, basically, I don;t know whether to host my blog on my website with WordPress or CuteNews privately, or with blogspot, the thing is that my friend uses Blogger and it would be awkward if mine was on another site lol. I enjoy making art, so my art would go on there too, and I would have a section regardless, completely scripted by me. I think I would like to have the blogger one as a mirror, where the two sync with eachother, but I can't figure out how to do that :-/ EDIT:Also what is a good imagehost, because imageshack isn't working for me.

Heart's Soul October 10th, 2010 5:45 PM

Hm... all right, so I have a website that I'm linking to in my sig (the banner) which I made and I want to know if I can improve it any further?

Tinypic is good too.

And I prefer self-hosting... you get a lot more power that way.

Yeah. A lot.

First off, raise the text size so I can read it...

Heart's Soul October 15th, 2010 6:17 PM

I should add in that it's recommended for monitors with 1024x768 setup or 1280x1024 at most. Really, my PC is 4:3. And I keep it at 1024x768, so it's simple to read for me. And most my fans.

aRedMoon October 17th, 2010 6:40 PM

Very few people still use those resolutions.......

Heart's Soul October 22nd, 2010 7:54 AM

I placed Analytics a long while ago on my webcomic and the majority does use 1024x768 or something close to that. I've even had 400x320.

Okay, I just redid my style, how does it look now? I also fixed the red 1px-width line over my images in the top banner.

aRedMoon October 22nd, 2010 4:57 PM

Cute comic.

And layout looks better, yes.

Gardenia101 October 25th, 2010 2:48 PM

Anyone have any tips for my site?

Gardenia101, your link isn't loading properly, nothing changed at all.

Also, my virus alert turned on for some reason, but I usually get false positives.

Strange. It worked for me...

Does anyone know which free domain name is the best to use? co.cc, cz.cc, .tk, any other?
