I've always loved the idea of girls doing geeky, powerful things -- even before I had ever really encountered any, even before I realized I was one of them in January 2000. I felt they had to exist somewhere. This was the first of two or three emblems I came up with in 1998 to express that feeling. They could eventually become t-shirts or other merchandise, though they'll need a little tidying.

I don't know why it's not showing the default purple background or the women's-cut shirts I originally put it on... but I did that with sharpies, in two separate layers combined in Gimp. (There's also a version with light lines; that's why I did the outlines and the colors separately.)
(One of these days, I'd like to do one-off merch printing properly. I've used two different services, and they were both confusing and difficult.)
It's hard to muster much enthusiasm for properly producing a design when none of the ones I've already done is selling, though.
Also I think the emoticons work better in the new ui. the new ui didn't turn your parenthesis to a emoticon.
You mentioned in your email you couldn't see your replies. This is because in the old ui, replies are collapsed. You'll have to click "view replies". But if you look in the new ui, all comments are expanded so it's a much better experience.
Example 1: for collaborative universes, it would be really nice to have collaboratively-editable pages (like a wiki, but maybe with more granular access rights).
Example 2: It would be really nice to be able to weave images (with some size control) and text together in a controllable way, like I did with my Art Narrative page on the HypertWiki https://wiki.hypertwins.org/Woozle/art
It should be possible to link to any piece of text, revise it, preview the changes.
I realize this is a bit of a large project in its own right, and there's a lot of more urgent work to do before we get there (and there simply might not be budget for it), but I thought I should mention it.
