Hey, try these guys for your logo, I just recieved my two logos the other day. Not bad, but I'm just to dam picky and ended up spending a whole night working on my own. I guess it's a real gamble since you don't get to have the logo designed for your site, but what else would you expect for a few bucks.

I've attached one of the better ones I was sent. Here is the one I ended up with on my own.
Comments on the board: Well for some reason I have grown weary of black background and dark forums/websites. I think the contrast is just unnecessary between black background and white text. Also with your colors, your alternating forum colors should be closer in value. Where you have dark blue with black, should change the black to a lighter shade of that dark blue.
