I just noticed an error on the marathon page: the Prevent Cancer Foundation logo is linking to www.researchautism.org

The text Prevent Cancer Foundation link is correct though.

Something I've mentioned before but I think belongs in this topic: If anyone has the know how and resources to do it, I thought a cool grand prize idea would be to get one of these banners printed to some massive size, and have all the attendees sign it. We could even hang it up at the back of the marathon room. Thoughts?

Most universities offer poster-printing services, where you submit a (uggh) .ppt/.pptx file that you want blown up to massive size, and they'll print and cut it. It's usually pretty cheap (~$20) if you want something non-university-related printed out.

That is a really cool idea.

Though it does work better if you have a larger image to start with, then you're stretching less.

Assuming the originals are vector graphics, then there's no problem.

Banners updated with 2012 in the title.

There is another broken link on the marathon page that I didn't catch before. The link to Classic Games Done Quick should be http://speeddemosarchive.com/marathon/old/2010/schedule.html

instead of: http://speeddemosarchive.com/marathon/schedule/2010.html

Also, shouldn't there be a link to the marathon page somewhere on the SDA homepage?

Fish. Blub blub.

That Awful Games Done Quick banner just made my life.

Minor thing: Since the banners have been updated, can we get the one on the marathon page replaced?

Monsters banner updated with better placement of the 2012, and social media banners now added.

Caracarn: Good catch.

Sir VG: Rom was waiting for the banners to be updated. Now that they are, he should upload them soon.

Second post updated with a new banner. Lindsey has plans to make one more.

Soupy: Work on it a bit more, and you could be the next Lindsey Layne King.

Sooooo...Lindsay makes such kick ass banners, why don't we try and get her to make one for the SDA home page. No offense to whoever made the current one, but we have really transitioned as a site and the demo.dem banner is kinda outdated at this point. There is no reason to wait for SDA 2.0 (which got derailed anyway from what I can tell) to replace the banner.

SDA 2.0 got derailed about five times.

The final banner has been completed! Check the second post for it.

Sinister1: I totally forgot about your post, but that is a very good idea.

One thing I just noticed - in the box containing old marathon videos, shouldn't we have SGDQ as well?

(I'd also say JRDQ, but I don't remember very many videos coming out for that.)

UA brought this up as well. I think I literally just never bothered changing that box since SGDQ. I'll add the link for SGDQ's vids when I wake up if no one else has done it by then.
