I work at home, so now it’s not a big deal, but now I’m so used to referring to this site as the 'Dope, I have to watch myself around certain company or situations.

Indeed. I haven’t heard from him since, though. I don’t understand.

That’s because the IT guys are busy playing WoW.

You’ve got nothing to worry about 😛

yes…the logo has given me some awkward reactions from people. I don’t visit this site if there are other people looking over my shoulder.  
The solution would be to change the logo.  
Suggestions to mods/owners/hackers:  
–Make the word “Dope” in a smaller font, with Straight in larger letters  
–Add a few words after the word Dope, so it wouldn’t stand out as much. (leave the “fighting ignorance line where it is(you can’t separate it from the phrase"it’s taking longer than we thought”) … But maybe add a phrase so the logo would look like  
the STRAIGHT Dope-- wisdom for people who aren’t jerks.  
with the word dope less prominent.
