I appreciate our placement and I'm happy for pianna and all (I voted them as best entry and gave basically the same reason matty stated there in callouts), but I just don't understand how we didn't win when basically our only negative was the font color and it being a bit lengthy when pianna's was the same as well. And the irony that it's only "lengthy" because the columns were filled, but I'm sure if we took the same text out and put it in a format like pika and anna's, it'd be shorter.
I also like how we basically had universal praise in the judges comments except for one. Katie, I hope you're not sticking to your word about keeping me in the bottom of your votes from here on out over something like that

Thank you, Doc.

I love that you took time to notice the little details. That means a lot when it comes to things like these.

I thought the same thing as well, but couldn't think of anything at the time to put in the background without it coming out tacky. Honestly, I think it's the colors though. Let there be some brighter colors and the bland background wouldn't even be an issue

but I wanted to stay consistant with ATRL's main color scheme. Sorry about the light font.

I'm not sure what you mean by "Tumblr generator" but yes, we used Tumblr as our base.

Oh yeah, I had doubts about the site to site advertisement as well, so I understand where you're coming from. Drip just kept reassuring me how if we succeeded to pull it off, it had potential to become the strongest entry. And I did pay actually!

Initially, I thought of a matching .net domain, but there was a .99 sale on the .info's and realized that that domain was actually a good fit as well. And I used
1and1 - I now have 3 domains registered with them
