Do you mean the logo?
That was pretty much the first thing that came to mind. Took me a while to figure out how to use GIMP to make a 3D version of the LRPD for the "i" (which can also be found in a more glowy aspect on the so-called home page:  That image I had more pride in given my utter lack of image manipulation skills. I'm quite sure Rand could tart something up much better and quicker, but it's mine dammit. ;-) Regards,

Your image was/is quite Adequate+, bitchin in fact IMO.
But the synthesis I. We. They. is itself a finely-encompassing Idea! ..writ-Large or any other way.
Who?How put That together? ... talkaboucher Web-Endurance
..so oft measured in hours? often mere-months until Exiting. :-)

The origin of the phrase, if that's what you mean, is "IWE", from the "InfoWorld Electric" forums.
Then somebody, can't recall who, must have added the "They". Perhaps in analogy to "my children; your kids; their brats"?
The specific typographical design, with the colours and the subscript "we", I have always assumed is Scott's. --

Well, that's about the Initials.. or {ugh} TLA, then.
I meant the--by no means Obvious--re-Purposing of them there Initials
(even pre-'GRR', as the devious-mechanism behind the Whole Ball-of-Wax.)
SImpler? Who/or which-group of minds: came. up, with. That ..hmmm?
GMTA ..or Do they?

Someone involved with setting up the original ezBoard, perhaps. Regards,

The subscript of 'we' was definitely AdminiScott's idea.
I remember doing an "i we they" logo that shortly predated the current one in all caps in a block font in the current colours. I don't remember who chose the blue-red-purple colours.

I think I just liked the colors
But without the intent of reflecting links. But who knows at this point; that was a long time ago. Regards,
