Actually, in the US, anything you write is automatically copyrighted to you.

Not just anything you write, anything you create.

Here's a quick thing from the FAQ of lulu.com (the place where I published a comic book and the place Boy On A stick and Slither were published-those are the guys on JK's website =P)

How do I copyright my work?
You actually already have your work copyrighted. It's an interesting twist of US law that states that every work is automatically copyrighted, whether you register it or not. You're claiming your work is your copyright when you agree to publish it on Lulu. According to US law, when you say it's yours, it is. Unless you really want it registered with the Federal government, it's already done.

Let's not forget, that if you are writing on copyrighted material you can't sue (i.e Pokemon) I mean I cannot sue someone if they used my ultra rad drawing of a Pokemon charater

Greg be careful who you get advice from ;P

Actually, you could sue them for using your work. As long as you created the entire drawing and didn't trace or anything.

It'd be like someone not being able to sue after taking style notes from Picasso, if someone used their stuff.

You have a very nice color scheme, very readable. I would suggest making the headers to your content be in a different color so they stand out more. I suggest seriously that you make the layout stretch more to the width of the users browser, I'm on 1024x768 and sort of annoyed by how small the content area is.

I also wouldn't display "Staff Login" to the world; let your staff know the URL and have them type it manually. It's best to try to protect stuff like that.

The main problem your site has is a case of 'bad links.'

http://pokevillage.net/?page=opinion/webbies
http://pokevillage.net/?page=site/awards

etc.

You should be using mod_rewrite to change this into the less verbose http://pokevillage.net/opinion/webbies and http://pokevillage.net/site/awards. Google and other search engines don't give as high ratings to pages using query strings. Plus, it looks unprofessional. :)

I was hoping you'd reply. :D

The only way I really could get it to stretch would be by changing the banner, and I'd rather not make Matt do it. (It's a Matt layout btw)

I'm actually the only staff ^^ I have it there for my own good~ I personally couldn't care less about what others think of it.

Elixant does support it Robo. >D JA is using it.

And I prefer using the ?page links. A personal preference. I really don't care if my hits go up for down... they don't matter much to me.

Thanks for the replies though.
