The guestbook, counter, and message board were all taken from Matt's Script Archive. We are extremely thankful for this site!

All stars and planets, most backgrounds, the graphical topic headings, logos, and animated gifs within the articles were rendered using a ray-tracer called POV-Ray by Garret. Many of the images in the articles, excluding the ones specified in the credits, were drawn by Tobias.

Clip Art

Clip art is art that has been created to be freely distributed and used on web pages such as our own. The idea is that, people can find high-quality art on these cip-art pages, and use them on their own page, saving development time and allowing them to concentrate on more important tasks, such as creating large java applets! Below is a listing of the people and pages that were nice enough to offer their creative talents to the public as clip art.
