I notice the Straight Dope Message Board does not have a favicon. Why not? If not my suggestion to the administrators is they start a contest and users of the Straight Dope Message Board can create one.

Anyone can create a favicon with PAINT or other packages that come with Windows or Apple Computers.

Then we all could vote or we could vote for a bunch of semi-finalists and have Cecil pick the final winner

For those who don’t know what a Favicon is see the Wikipedia article here

[Favicon Article](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Favicon)  
I put the suggestion here because it’s for art topics and the creating a favicon would be art.

The SDMB does not, but [The Straight Dope](http://www.straightdope.com/) does.
