GBAtemp.net Exposed!

It's been bugging me for a while. These little 9 squares

that keep showing up in the Latest Discussions area of the GBAtemp frontpage. I've seen them somewhere before. I swear it!

Finally, the pieces fit together when I was on both pages at the same time: They are the same images! I thought, who is copying who here?

Spoiler

Further investigation lead me to finding this: the Silk Icon package. Look, more icons that match!

I know your secret now, GBAtemp. AKA these people

Maybe they are just common internet icons...

 

[Ace Gunman]

Maybe they are just common internet icons...

Yep, they are. They're general use icons.

Aww, I thought this was going to be a thread on all the power corruption and authority abuse within GBAtemp.

So common, in fact, that the original link has the word common in them! The plot thickens... (http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Silk_icons)

I hope gbatemp.net exposed part two will be how the letters in its name turn into a number, and the number is the same number that a satanic group of pirates used to use (or the number is also made from the word they used to refer to the devil)

 

[mrfatso]

i shall return when this thread evolved into that ^

But i always thought these icons are probably from one of those free to use pack and maybe a few would be customized.

Never the less, nice find.

Found another one. I'm sure justice will be served

Add those numbers up: 64! Now what event happened on June 4th? I'd say, but the ~snip~ Honestly, I better change this out so Costello doesn't get into trouble ~snip~ wouldn't be to happy if I did. We're through the looking glass here people.

EDIT: Let's just say it means Nintendo 64.

So, that's where all the developers get their icons from.
Now I can use them.They're Open Source right.
