we have several votes for runningmania.com and no real objections (just jacob's but his doesn't count...lol, jk).

any MAJOR objections? if not, I'll be registering it at 4:15pm my time. :P

have you ever designed a logo? and do you have the software to make a vector image? even if not, you probably have good ideas that we could use. i have only done one logo in my life and am not an artist at all, but if someone else has the ideas i can pull them off. i'm also very good at critiquing other people's work, lol (this comes from years of working alongside graphic designers... i can tell you what works or doesn't and why, but i sure can't come up with them on my own).

if you have the time and desire, absolutely go ahead and start working on something for us. maybe come up with a few ideas and we'll go from there. :)

Now I have to read further to see who came up with it.

alright, as of right now the name and hosting are secured, so we just have to wait for the dns to propogate (for those who don't know what that means... well, nevermind. we just have to wait before we can start putting stuff on the new site). that means that this weekend i can (hopefully) move everything over and if all goes well we'll be settled into our new space by saturday evening. i'll let you all know.
