	'''LYNDA:''' Absolutely. Well, one of the things we like to do at Flashforward is inspire everybody, and part of... probably the most inspirational thing of all is the film festival – I've had many people tell me after being at the film festival that they left the conference and created something that they didn't think they would have created had they not seen it. So I'm looking forward to your session inspiring a lot of people. I realise that you're not gonna teach anybody how to do animation, or ActionScript, but I don't really think that's the role of having people like yourselves... what you're doing is so successful and effective and compelling and... you have so many fans, I live in a town of 8,000 people, and I see people walking around with your tshirts on, which to me is a sign of something and... obviously you could never have expected to have done this, since the Internet was so new in 2000, and not very many people have achieved what you guys have achieved.

-	'''MATT:''' Yeah, it was pretty cool to see... I mean, not in a negative way, but... that we'd outlasted some of the other sites. There's usually... a lot of them are still up, flash cartoon sites that were popular back when we first started... they're still up, but they're not putting up new... they haven't been putting up new in forever, or they went to subscription service and things like that. The fact that it's 6 years later, and we're still just doing the same thing, just giving it to people for free if they want to see it, maybe they'll buy a shirt, maybe they won't. It's a source of pride, for me, anyway.	+	'''MATT:''' Yeah, it was pretty cool to see... I mean, not in a negative way, but... that we'd outlasted some of the other sites.
