Tbh, this forum background got stale. It's been there for like 4 years already.

Maybe ask users to propose some alternatives..

I like the banner at the top. Maybe adding a slideshow banner using all the AOE3 photos?

Well it was OK for 2015. And so was that sidebar that you initially made and I later turned into the form it looks like right now (which was all the rage back in 2015). But times moved on in terms of UI/UX, we can definitely do a lot better than what was done in 2015.

Semi-Clever Joke because your EP ELO Ranking was visible in your picture.

I'm surprised it stayed for as long as it did, to be frank.

It looks okay enough that it doesn't bother me, but an update wouldn't be bad either.

I like how the website is fast, even on mobile. I will probably dislike any change that makes the website larger in megabytes or cpu/ram usage.

Another texture. Maybe we can all bounce a couple of ideas here, if anyone cares.

Obviously nobody wants any heavy image that makes the site slower. We can find something optimised for the web that loads equally fast. Or maybe just make the background a colour, which will load the site even faster.

The forum background. Well the whole site could use a refresh.
