dave is the original creator, I believe. I remember reading somewhere that someone was going to try to contact him...

I don't know if he's the creator (maybe he is), but it seems like everyone always contacts him anyway. :p

And I don't hate the new one, but I still wonder WHY they changed the icon...?

oh, well if there are tons of people talking sending msgs to him everyday he might not really care what we have to say.
and does anyone know how long the old icon has been up there?

IF you're planning to send him message asking him to change it back, I think we need to vote on it first.
