Welcome !!! These pages are about the many thousand sites that were
the foundation of The Portal; contain a fanciful history (extensively
and elaboratively graphicked) of how The Portal rose from the ashes of
another cybercity; a museum of many beloved graphics from this
formerly grand place (in the classic city noir style);
and a Walk Of Fame (using a recoded Business Park Street Scene) in
which we list at least one site for each Citizen of The Portal
choosing to participate. We're on the lookout still for the
classic lamppost graphic, the classic urban
slum Street Scene and the crime alley story
pages. If you have these graphics or HTML files, feel free to send
them.
The flag graphic above is the official graphic for ANY Founders Site.
Any Citizen or Administrator who registered with The Portal is
considered a Founder and may display the graphic on any site on any
server. Please use good taste, the flag may not be published to any
adult nor hate sites. The version at the top of this page is the ivory
background one. It is also available in black and white , or if you have FireWorks, you
may use the layered .png and change the background color to
match your page. The black and white choices will open in a small
window, right click and SAVE AS. The layered .png for FireWorks is a
direct link to a 258K file - right click and SAVE LINK AS to download
a copy to your local harddrive. We ask that you ONLY change the
background color. JPG format for exporting works best as the filesize
is smaller and the colors remain purer. GIF exporting produced muddy
colors and a lot of pixelation errors. Clicking these links will open
new windows.
