Pokemon TCG News

I spent a good part of the weekend helping my 6 and 8 year old put decks together - their first battle drug on for over an hour, but they're getting the hang of it. My daughter tried a water deck, but had a poor choice of cards, and couldn't hold up against my son's psychic deck.
Here's some recent news in the world of Pokemon TCG:

Looking for a few good anime fans
[Scoots - Pokemon Village] [Comments - 18]
I'm looking for a few people who are well-versed with anime - either specific shows, like Pokemon, Digimon, DBZ, or in general, to help keep our site updated. You only need to know basic (very basic) HTML tags, and no other technical expertise is required.
Drop me a line at scott (at) ripside (dot) com.
Thanks!

PV Topsites/Links Catalog Back Online
[Scoots - Pokemon Village] [Comments - 11]
I've setup the Links Catalog service again - sometime over the last year we lost the domain "LinksCatalog.com", after letting it expire accidentally (the new owners snatched it up after less than 24 hours and are asking a ridiculous price for it now).
For now, the site is running at http://links.onebigvillage.com.

As you might or might not notice, I'm getting more of the old sites back up. The PV Topsites, Speakout.onebigvillage.com, and OBV itself are all back online now.
Comments will be OFF, until I get a graphical confirmation number feature added (which I've done on other sites). We won't turn comments back on until we can block some of the automated spamvertising.
