When we used to send out these email reminders, our active member monthly numbers were about 30 to 50% higher; so this method works, but the downside is that some people can get very angry about it; so we stopped (and for a large forum, it can generate a lot of email traffic, sometimes effecting performance).

My idea was to have the three-legged raven holding a penguin and the a circle around the logo with the text "The UNIX and Linux Forums" on the top of the circle and "www.unix.com" at the bottom. I've not had time to find a graphic artist to draft something to review, but this sounds like it could be a good symbol, combining the three-legged raven idea (a symbol of power) with the raven holding a penguin in it's claw, in a circular style.
