Surprise surprise! I am a graphic designer too! And I just feel that this is one site that doesn't *need* flashy, anti-aliased graphics to attract or keep an audience. Sam doesn't want just anybody and everybody here. I feel like the kind of people who Sam wants to enjoy this site aren't going to make the decision to stay or return based on the graphics anyway, but on the content. From what I have seen, most of the folks here, myself included, found out about RinkWorks by word of mouth.

Gri"of course MY site is going to have flashy graphics. I need them, 'cause I'm nowhere *near* as cool as the Sam-Man"shny
