I understand your comments about my post above. Cockyness and arrogance are two characteristics that stand out to me as well as I re-read it (can't edit it now). However, in everything I do, I always try to maintain humility. Your comments about our site, on the other hand, are just incorrect:

I am an entrepreneur and I have learned how to design and code a website. My ThemeForest portfolio should speak for itself.

Our site is anything but just copied code. Both the MediaWiki and phpBB systems are extensively modified for our purposes. Not to mention, we develop a new design every year and implement it into the site/forum. Our website team (particularly Quentin Sheets) also developed the FIRST Chat scouting database which isn't even close to copied code.

Once again, sorry for my earlier post. I hope you (basicxman) to keep up the good work and continue working in GIMP. However, like most others in this thread said, try to stay away from using the FIRST logo within your own.

Well put, good job on your journey both of you, and good luck....
