I'd be happy to share the template with you if you send me a mail on contact at gaia dot li with your request - we currently have it on our dropbox, and I can share a link with you to it. It's in SVG created with Inkscape.
I can't fathom why anyone would ever bundle Arial with Inkscape... I use it, and have no memory of Arial being part of it (nor is that possible legally I think).
Santi, the artist that did this, usually does stuff by hand and later on does it with a drawing tablet. It is created in some version of Photoshop, but could easily have been made in most other free alterantive such as GIMP, not to mention MyPaint etc.
Nice work considering the timeframe. I can see what Danimal means, but don't think it's necessarily so or that it is a problem at all - I'm not sure why it needs to look "more scifi" for the part to hover. Logically it should be able to do that no matter how complex or sci-fi it looked or didn't look.
Nander, I'm not sure how US laws work and virtually nothing would surprise me on that front, but at least in Sweden you wouldn't be able to copyright a name, even if it is "Balrog" and mentioned in a book that is copyrighted. Reason is it's too short, plain and simple. If Tolkien would have TM:ed it or something, then it would be a different story though, but from what I know it's not trademarked.
If one could copyright names the way that is implicated by you then nothing hinders us here at OGA from collaborating on a wiki with the only purpose of mentioning as many (new) names as possible. Once written there they would be copyrighted and nobody in the world would be able to legaly use them without our permission. We'd be "name-blocking" as many names as we'd want to by doing this for a couple of years ;)

Thanks for the input Med...
In regards to irc, it probably was a setting then since I didn't /auth the nick.

In my opinion AKISMET does a great job. There is a drupal plugin for it at >> http://drupal.org/project/antispam ...or are you already using it?
