    Can you believe it's been a whole year? I have a hard time believing it.

    In this past year, PA Matches grew from a quick site created over a weekend, to the largest PA Fan Site on the Web. It has been a fun ride, but I'm not done yet! I still have a lot of plans and ideas, I'm just getting started!

    In the mean time...

    Win a Game Key!

    It's so pretty :D
    Any chance of a mobile app? The style looks like it would suit a phone/tablet well.

    Why waste time on a mobile App (instead of content) when the site looks already good on mobile browser (phone/tablet) ?

    The content resizes automatically based on the screen size. So it looks good even on your phone/tablet.

    I still have a few speed optimizations to do for smaller screens though.

    Yes, because I need your email address to contact you if you won.

    If I don't have your email address, then I have no way of getting you the game key.

    You could unsubscribe from the newsletter after the giveaway. I can't stop you.

    There have been several pop up over the past year, but most have disappeared.

    There are a few fan site out there right now. Total PA recently popped up. PA-Mods is out there, but doesn't seem to be maintained much. PA Stats as well, although I'm not sure if that fits in the category of "fan site" – I guess it depends on your definitions. I feel like there's another that's escaping me...

    I like the new setup, but I don't think I'm a fan of the background. The starfield seems a bit visually distracting, which draws attention to what should be nagative space.
