Wow, looks like you have a lot of food on your plate right now. I am looking forward to the exciting new changes.
Finding a decent image that was not copyrighted was where I hit a brick wall. I can make Photoshop do stuff, but I don't have enough artistic talent to actually draw something new from scratch. I tried Google Image Searching for stuff, but everything I found was either 1) copyrighted or 2) ugly. There are no decent medieval weapons images on the internet in the public domain. At least, I was never able to find anything even remotely appropriate. I also wanted to avoid using something that everyone has seen a hundred times before, just because it was one of the rare few public domain images. Oh look, that website uses that public domain image of a sword in it's logo. EXCITING!
I am now off to read up about Mambo Open Source.

A few months back I has asked around for a logo and a number of Lurkers came up with some great submissions (thanks, Deebye). But what is needed is something more than just text or letters - something with an image (that's not copyrighted) that can be incorporated with the Lurker Lounge text in some way.
