On: Go's New Brand

I totally agree. I only started playing with Go a few months ago and remember how amateurish the website and the mascot made it look. It gave the impression that it was a work in progress and research project instead of something that's been around for 8 years and used professionally.

If good, clean text which displays in any browser is amateurish … then I prefer amateurism to professionalism.

I really appreciate that the Go website (appears to be) good, clean HTML.
