I couldn't name the sites I used to visit, but there is one that I ran. I built a forum for my Star Wars Galaxies guild to use, that was probably were I spent all my time: discussing the game, our lives, the news, and the future. That friend group developed really well both in and out of the game.

We later tried migrating over to Star Trek Online but the game never lived up to the designs they were telling us of (I think another company took over?). We'd filled this forum with long discussions of what we wanted, how we thought it would be, and had lived futuristic adventures vicariously through text and our imagination, all for it to be lost as we turned away and moved on with our lives.

I don't think I could put my feelings on that past on to a mug; it seems silly but when it was such a huge part of my life at the time it hurt to have it end with such a... fizzle.

IT support tickets in white text on landscape photography.

Simpsons quotes on thick blocks of colour (from the shows colour palette).

Photographs with doodles on -- clouds with arms drawn on, giant kittens climbing over a cityscape etc.
