[009] Timber Current Version

Terminator was ultimately chosen as the image for this page because James Cameron actually got the idea for the scene of the exoskeleton rising out of the flames from a nightmare he had. The Terminator is a fairly well-known figure in pop culture, and the image is creepy enough to get the point across without being something that\'ll terrify whoever catches a glimpse of your screen.

Terminator was ultimately chosen as the image for this page because James Cameron actually got the idea for the scene of the exoskeleton rising out of the flames from a nightmare he had. Also, the Terminator is a well-known character in pop culture, and the image is creepy but not crap-your-pants-and-close-the-tab-now scary.

Something that I don\'t think a lot of people realize when they change the page image is that not all tropers browse this site from the privacy of a home computer. A lot of people browse it on library computers, when they get bored in class, during down-time at work, at wi-fi hotspots, out in the open on college campuses, and other places open to the general public where the general public will be walking around. Yes, smiledog and its many variants are outright terrifying, but I would \'\'not\'\' want to accidentally subject some random passer-by to the week of nightmares I had after the first time I saw it. You may be expecting the High Octane Nightmare Fuel page, but the person sitting behind you isn\'t.

Also, just because you can handle an image doesn\'t mean other people can. Horror is subjective, and what might not freak you out WILL terrify somebody else to the point that they can\'t read the page out of fear of the image. And if the image is preventing people from reading the page, it\'s not doing its job very well.

Please, leave the page image as it is, and put other images on the Image Links page. That\\\'s what it\\\'s there for.
