I really dig the picture. Kudos to whoever made it.
Thanks! I also made a 2.0 version. And this post on how to create the perfect hubski logo is also mine.

Everything I own is Gucci. Thanks for including me in this tng!
He's not, for example, a fashion connoisseur.
-How can we be certain?
Ha. Below the belt. Was I right that you were watching baseball?
Makes me want cable. I have no good way to view the games. I don't think... I wonder if Roku has an ESPN channel that streams the games? Anyways, it's a good time to be a soccer fan.
Thank you for giving us new users such a nice list of hubski trivia, history and info. It's a very nice welcome and hopefully us newts knowing this info makes things less frustrating for you old users.

Thanks for the shoutout thenewgreen: Indeed, I rule: currently ruling over iguanas and geckos, but I came later to dvh. I believe I was preceeded by both StJohn and apes. Although I'm not sure. mk would know. It took a long time that day to do it. I hope it's easier now.10. Did you know that we created Discussion Via Hubski because lil was copy/pasting comments from Hubski to her blog and she requested it? -Lil rules.
Yeah, but it makes such a better story when I mention the copy/pasta. You may be correct, he was certainly a big, big part of the implementation, testing, design etc. They both were. If that was the case, my apologies theadvancedapesl. Also, hope you are well I know you have a crap-ton going on these days.
HA! That's hilarious and it's the difference between an nice neighborhood in a suburb vs one in a college town. I feel like I need to get a Prius in order to "fit in" in my neighborhood. I'm not shitting you when I say that over 50% of the homes in our neighborhood have one in the driveway. There are a couple of Tesla's too. I'm inclined to buy a Hummer just to fuck with them all.
Funny, that's half the reason I have a Silverado. All the kids I used to live around hated it. Now I just fit in. It sucks. I'm considering buying a Smart for my work commute, but the wife thinks I'll look like a huge nerd. I'm inclined to buy a Hummer just to fuck with them all.
We totally haven't and that's awesome. I just saw a really beat up one being driven at night the other day and I was like "Now, this would be cool." Possibly in a Bluth-ian sort of way, and I don't know if you can take them on the highway, but if I ever decide to get a second car, I think a mail truck would be just great.
huge(r) They do look pretty goofy, I'll give her that.
