Really? Wot does it mean? Or is this some Facebook-related nonsense I can happily ignore?

You've come up positive.
Basic Flying Rules: "Try to stay in the middle of the air. Do not go near the edges of it. The edges of the air can be recognized by the appearance of ground, buildings, sea, trees and interstellar space. It is much more difficult to fly there."
If you're on an undistinguished road do you:
a. Need to clean your glasses
b. Wipe your gps screen
To err is human; to forgive is divine.

Here is a picture of that virus (blown up 1000x times). If you right click and choose 'Download Picture' you MIGHT be able to see what it's all about.

Oh, come on guys. For crying out loud. It's not a virus. It's probably a 'programming' 'typo' by the mods in trying to set up that 'green' dot that when 'on' indicates that that person is 'Online'. That's all it is (or was 'intended' to be). No skeletons. No cutties. No virus. No 'road'. Not even an 'Attitude_Positive' indicater anymore (aparently). So if you are 'Inline' that is Good. If you are 'Online' that is also a Good thing. But you can't be both (hehe).

All joking aside, I've seen other forums operated via vBulletin that have that feature. Generally, it's a rating tool tied to posters giving each other "good reps" or "bad reps" which adjusts the targeted poster's rating up or down - depending upon how it's set up.
Does this sound like something teenagers and bored slackers like ? Yes - exactly. That's the kind of forums that use it. Probably slipped onto ours temporarily by accident of manipulating an upgrade, or something.
Don't get too depressed, Hairyspin - you're probably still marginally acceptable here. . .
