Re: what does this cross means?

i see
so the use of it here is like:

The Iron Cross has been popular with many bikers, hot rodders, skinheads and others, using German iconic militaria to promote a tough-guy image, or as a symbol of rebellion or non-conformity.

there can't be any connection between intps and that lol or was it part of the joke

I have no idea of the original intent of the cross here at this site. It could have been an amusing joke, but sometimes people also just toss in an icon to toss in an icon or because they personally thought it looked cooler than the other available ones.

(Never underestimate the rippling and confounding impact of spurious random action.)

Maybe the site creator has an affection for the West Coast Choppers in CA.

Re: what does this cross means?

Yes, like maybe it resembling the darkened birthmark on the left inner thigh of a girl he met once in Madrid, a girl with luscious hair and perfectly manicured nails, she of the vibrant laugh, in a night of beauty and truth-telling and lots of sangria flowing (always flowing), as they mounted a grassy hill and stood under the stars tracing the pristine clarity of the constellations and lost in each other's eyes... then being awakened abruptly in the early morn and swept away from each other by screaming crowds fleeing from an unexpected mock ebola epidemic whereupon they never saw each other again, carried off away from the other into distantly painful obscurity and thrown on a boat to be returned home... and yet the birthmark... it is always there... it always remains, burned into his sweaty dreams, a fixture of bittersweet citric acid memories.... hoping, he is, beyond hoping, that she might see the forum icon as she surfs the web today, searching, ever searching, and recognizes truly that this is him, the man, the love of her life, who has set up this forum for the sole purpose of finding her again, sending her dashing in to create an account and frantically connecting with this man via PM and sharing PII and then buying tickets and covering the thousands of miles into each other's arms once more, bringing a reuniting that would roll thunder and crack lightning and open up the sky in an illuminating display of transcendent glory as well as leaving the downstairs neighbors banging on the ceiling with old brooms, useless in the face of such spectacular amour.

Or something else. Something maybe involving scientific experiments utilizing gerbils, silly putty, and model rocket engines. I'm open to possibilities.
