Wierd eye...

[Natraez]

Why is there a weird eye above my avatar in the forums?

It doesn't have any real meaning, I think Take just put it there for fun. It'll disappear once you reach a certain number of thread post.

Spoiler

It does have meaning
Most things do

[gekiwaza]

And thats how I found out I couldn't read minds.

EDIT:After scrummaging through pages of the Off-Topic Thread, I found this post from SK (not sure if it's right or not...I've been meaning to watch the series.)

I get the eye thing now. It's like the blimp that had the eye on Sh15uya. It'll disappear once you turn 16. Or rather get 16 posts.

And here I always assumed it was Sauron's eye, symbolizing Take's dark hold over us and how we can never escape. NEVER. EVER.

[gekiwaza]

It is Sauron's Eye, but that's the meaning behind it being above our avatars.

Watching Sh15uya makes it make sense.

Which reminds me, its time to watch it again~

uhmm, because you misspelled.

[Saejima Kouga]

It is Sauron's eye, but my explanation of it is correct.

It was also the avatar for the Multi Czar on the Kingdom of Loathing forums... coincidental or not, his sig and player ID is: Number 6 and no one knows his true identity

The funny thing is that this kind of thread popped up 3-4 times already. What's so freaky about having an eye under your name? xD If I were a newbie and saw the eye, I'd go "Oh hey, that's cool!" and when it'll disappear, "Oh hey, did I anger the mods and that's why they removed my eye?"

It's a rite of passage! You give a burnt offering to "The Eyes In The Sky"...

When I arrived here some days ago, I thought that eye was used as an easy way to recognise the new people here, to watch if we newbies started flooding or spamming.

I thought something similar to it and that the moderators were "keeping an eye" on you.
