So he can use that domain to link to TWP so he can get more traffic. There is a lot of old mAL links left on the internet.> Which is why I vote for using mAL

exactly my thoughts too. the last thing I want here is for mAL's popularity - which is a lot bigger than mAI, to be made into a redirection page.

I need not state other, more obvious reasons as to why I personally would dislike it to be a TWP redirect.

The poll is a lot closer now than it was, does anyone else want to swing their vote?

I thought the poll was closed. :/

I honestly really don't care. What I do care about is the logo crap I spent hours on. It is really nice to have a site use your logo when your trying to get into a job of Art.

Well you could still do a mAL's logo and trademark stuff make over.

I completely understand, I put a lot of work into mAI paraphernalia also. We'll see when the poll closes.

Slapping "LABS" in replacement of innovations will not work. The entire logo and site would need to be thought over. Also it does not help that I burned CDs and uploaded it to my portfolio and now it is at risk of being obsolete.

Neat news, 2009 version of Blue Portals is still there!

That's sweet! Do you plan on putting them in mAI's database when everything's sort out?

I thought the fact that we weren't "well known" was because the website still hadn't "gone gold" just yet.

We went as gold as I know how to go with the contest

It's not like I have a degree in advertising or anything.

Yep, just waiting for nick to get me the relevant database files. He seems pretty busy and it's a lot of maps, so it'll probably take some time.

Good ol' Nick.

I predict he'll be ready in 3 months.

Today I'll be switching over to Lithium Web Hosting from Godaddy, so the site might be down a bit. Probably not, as the only thing that has to change is nameservers. Note: a few posts may be missing, as the forums ar ebeing restored from a backup made earlier today. Anyway, it'll be cheaper and hopefully more reliable in terms of file downloads.

Call it a professional rivalry.

Speaking of which, hopefully we can all work on more Portal/ Portal theme stuff rather then us sitting here debating what to call our self's.
