SixPrizes.com began as a collaborative effort between Jeremy Maron and I (Adam Capriola) during the summer of 2009. The goal was to create one high quality Pokemon TCG article per day to be viewed and discussed by our readers.
I recognized at the time that it was really quite difficult to find legitimate information on deck building and strategy without spending hours perusing through message boards. Pojo was an awesome resource back in the day, but has since deteriorated in terms of quality, so I wanted to bring back the previous spirit of that site.
Many changes have happened to SixPrizes along the way…Jeremy left, Pablo Meza joined, Pablo left, and ever since I been running the site solo. Jeremy and Pablo were incredible contributors and I am indebted to them for helping me develop the foundations and setting the positive tone for the site.
Running SixPrizes by myself was difficult because I was still just learning how to code HTML and use WordPress, and I was also in my final year of college, so I had almost no time to write articles.
Seeing this, the incredible community here stepped in and has now become the main contributors to the site. People like you reading this are the ones that are helping to keep SixPrizes thriving.
We are attracting more and more visitors everyday and it’s just a really cool thing to witness. I was never sure if SixPrizes would really work, but apparently it has caught on.
I hope you enjoy your stay here and be sure to let me know if you have any suggestions…I am always trying to improve the site.
Thanks,
Adam
