Because I wanted something quick and neutral, you gotta admit it is bit trippy.

I though about putting games I liked in the images but I decided not to, I think it should be game agnostic at the least.

To avoid using copyrighted images I imagine?

Shouldn't be an issue for a forum that isn't selling anything.

That's not how copyright works. Even if you aren't selling anything you still can't use copyrighted images without permission.

I did the same thing for [email protected]. I couldn’t find a copyright free image that looked right. The one I generated looked cool to me.
