Cool. Yeha I liked the logo Mark came up with a while ago. I knew there
was some talk of getting it off of the ground but I didn't know how much.

Yeah this is gonna be tricky. This was why I proposed to have the site
split up among different servers. This could be more complicated but the
work effort would be greatly reduced per person and the cost of one big
server would go down.

Yeah. I thought another advantage to this was that the whole project
wouldn't have to be all done at once. You could have a character site up
this month, and a stories site the next and so on... And if one site was
slower in development then another it wouldn't hold the whole project back.
The only one that would be crucial was the main Site.

No problem. I'll help anyway I can.

| Neat ideas! We (Mark Sandlin. Pearson Castner, and I) have been working on Spaceworld on and off for awile now, and I guess we've been lazy... Mark is the main graffic guy, and he has created some very cool logos, and we have a preminary page (...) (24 years ago, 25-Oct-00, to lugnet.space, lugnet.general, lugnet.build.mecha)
