    Exactly. If this were a free site, it would be a different story I think.

    And by the way - Tony spoke to the Orioles and they advised that MLB owned the logo and could potentially object. So don't blame the O's!

    How about just the Orioles "O" as a super-pip? Or is that trademarked too?

    Probably. I'm thinking we should just steer clear of anything that might get us in hot water.

    Being it's almost like an Iron Man Pip, how about a black and orange "8", kinda thing. I mean can a number a violation?

    Since we're talking about a "super pip" why not go with exactly that--a supersized orange pip with a black border?

    Well, this is cool...I thought I was going to lose my first bright green pip under the new system...instead I gained a second!

    Yes, we switched up the scoring a little, so in the bright green zone you accumulate them a little faster. Newbies are hurt a little in that it takes 100 to get their second pip (used to go up at 50) - that's just a limitation of the new board software unfortunately.

    I liked the idea of a baseball also. However, when I played around with some, and shrank them down to 24x24, what you're left with is a nondescript white dot. I'm sure McLovin could work some magic there, as he showed with the cartoon bird. How does anybody feel about the idea of a baseball diamond?

    Baseball diamonds could work.

    How many superpips are there? If there are 7, you could have it spell out ORIOLES. With 8, you can do TURDLAND, I mean BIRDLAND.

    Oooh...I like that new pop out box for giving rep!
    And the "maybe you'll get some back" message...priceless!

    I altered your original post as I thought you might prefer. What happened to Elijah?

    As far as the superpip...how about something simple like a home plate since you've scored some serious rep?
