Shouldnt this have a video game theme? The design is just a crappy re-draw of the super mario games.

I vote scrap it, or at least get a MUCH BETTER theme. Super mario has nothing to do with the internet.

Well, I use the google and know that the internets ARE a series of tubes.

It's not a big truck.

I like it. :lol:

gilligan...i think it's a great concept and a huge change for FUN. Of course the graphics and map size need a lot of work but....onya...for attempting something completely wild...reegardless of whose map it is!

I don't like the background: way too dark and detracts from the actual territories.

NO. Graphics are horrible, your continents don't make sense, and it doesn't feel like the Internet.

Here's an idea of a map for the Internet, from the webcomic xkcd :

Now THAT's a map.

Well, no pipes though. :(

Interesting representation, but I'm not sure the idea has much appeal. Fighting over internet sites via tubes just doesn't inspire much enthusiasm on my part.
