Vs. System TCG fans unite to launch www.VsSystem.org
Vs. System TCG fans from across the world have united to launch www.VsSystem.org, a fan run site dedicated to keeping the Vs. System TCG going strong. The site will foster communication between Vs. System fans across the globe, allowing players to build on the foundations set by the game's creators, Upper Deck Entertainment (UDE).
When UDE announced that they would no longer be supporting their award-winning super hero-based card game, Vs. System TCG, players worked quickly to establish a new online presence that would fill the gap left with UDE's exit.
Of primary concern was the continuation of Organized Play (Tournaments and Hobby Leagues), as this is seen as the backbone of the game by many fans. VsSystem.org gives tournament organizers and hobby shops the tools to communicate their plans to the masses to ensure successful events. From posting announcements to accessing a dedicated online events calendar, Vssystem.org makes running events easier for organizers, while making finding places to play effortless for the fans. The forum also houses a polling feature, which will make it easier for players to make some of the tougher decisions about the future - they can defer to "majority rules".
VsSystem.org also houses a forum that is a perfect place for players (experienced and newbies alike) to gather to discuss rule questions, deck ideas, game strategies, and anything else related to the Vs. System TCG.
The site's home page highlights articles and links that Vs.System players will find helpful in their quest to rule the table tops.
Http://www.VsSystem.org is now live. Visit today to maximize your Vs. System fun or, for the uninitiated, to learn why so many fans continue to support this amazing game.
NOTE: This site is in no way affiliated with Upper Deck Entertainment. For more information on UDE, visit their site at http://www.UDE.com.

...finally, the fans have taken control. But it's going to take all of us to steer this ship. So if you're interested in helping to keep this game alive, click here to hit the forum home page and to register. (You'll have to post in "The Welome Mat" thread before you can post elsewhere. It's a security measure to stop the spam-bots. After that - post away.)
Make that announcement :D. g'day already has.

Sorry, Miguel. I know you guys mean well, but branding vssystem.org as kamiza.org was probably a mistake. I clicked on it, saw the domain name redirect, saw the same old kamiza site and close my browser.
AGAINST ALL MY BEST INTERESTS-- i'm totally interested in what you guys are doing (even though i hardly even lurk on Realms anymore), but i just can't motivate myself to pick through that site's layout to figure out what's going on.
I know there's some competing interests here, but getting the site "right" is probably the most important thing to make a positive first impression.
Other things-- the 'Join our Community' link should be duplicated somewhere else as "Register" or "Registration"-- with all the ads (unfortunate, but i know that folks have to pay the bills), it's really hard to find.
Having written all this, i decided that if i'm not part of the solution, i'm part of the problem, and i'm going to slog through and register anyway.

Hey Eric - we're accepting all feedback, so thanks for your honesty.
Sorry we're not your cup of tea. I know the design isn't for everyone. But the site seems to be pretty well received, registrations are high, and people seem to be using it. More changes are coming, so well see how it goes on week 2 and beyond...
And in my heart of hearts, I still hope to see you there at some point. ;)
