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.

NAME

       Send-reminders - send email reminders for special occasions

SYNOPSIS

       Send emails reminders set by users for special occasions.

DESCRIPTION

       Email-reminder allows users to define events that they want to be reminded of by email.	Possible events include birthdays, anniversaries
       and yearly events.  Reminders can be sent on the day of the event and a few days beforehand.

       This script is meant to be invoked everyday by a cron job.  It mails the actual reminders out.

       user.
