I think that in the News section of the site, the selection banner is a bit too high. Might just be me though...

Yeah, I haven't been paying too close attention to the news, my focus has been on the main site and the forums. Don't worry, it'll all look right when we're done.

I've been thinking about the "wiki", too. And I got a first idea for a series of tutorial, Grox inspired me with his prefabs pack; a series called "Prefab the duck outta this!" and it would show the user how to create more complicated stuff, from scratch, and then save it as a prefab so that he can modify it and store it like he wants.

Go ahead and feel free to get started writing tutorials! We don't really have anywhere to put them yet, but that should get sorted out eventually.

I think I might have some of my old ones around that I can spruce up, too...

I'm hesitant to do so for anyone but admins and maybe moderators. I'll think about it.

100, but there's also only 100MB of storage space for emails.

Each character is 8 bits.
100MB is equivalent to 125 000 characters.
Say an email is approximately 1 000 characters.
125 000 characters divided by 1 000 characters per email equals to 125 emails.
There are 16 Founders-up members.
125 emails divided between 16 members is 7.8125 emails per member.
Not quite enough.

I still think there should be someone else in the Founders list.

Nah, don't worry about it. It's only really a brighter blue name at the end of the day.

When are we going to start with the whole 'support Portal, Portal 2, and Portal 2 Workshop maps' ? We can start with showcasing workshop maps since the Workshop does the hosting job for us..

The Workshop hosts maps made in Hammer, too. For this reason, I say we put up a database with a link to subscribe to the map and possibly one to follow the user entirely. Then, we can get started on mods and Portal maps.
