Then the designer does a paysite design using THAT domain and THAT content, since those are the rules of real life graphic design.

true.....

Cause think about it - when a customer comes by and says I want this teen site done, do you tell them "Well, I prefer doing mature sites, so sorry, but you have to look for somebody else"

This should be a real life competition, and if somebody wants to let loose their creativity and work with whatever they feel most comfortable, they should go draw a painting or something.

I agree Machine... except for the part about 1 content set.... it's damn difficult to make a tour using only one set, unless the site is specific to that one model or something....

but yes... Lens suggested something similar as well, about choosing from say, 5 domains, and the content providers putting up a set number of content sets to choose from, and going from there..... I stilll think that's a good idea too....

either way, whether we do it that way or just free-for-all it.... I'm okay with either way.... but nobody has really made the decision one way or another and I'm not sure that I should be deciding that.... that's why I was asking, who's in charge of this thing? I know JPFDude is working on the official page for this.... I started one at www.opticalamplitude.com/showdown/index.html but there's not much on it yet...
