What do the blue plus signs in brackets that are strangely beginning to appear after picture comments mean?

Hey...I noticed that too...strange...

Some of them just appeared after comments others already made, and now when I post a comment there's a blue plus after it! OMG! Ive been BRANDED. Exiled to the Plus Sign Ranch?

What blue plus signs? sure you're not imagining things?

Mwahahahahah...
for we are teh gods,
we reign on 2 draw.net;
moderators rule.

I will misquote Marcello here:
omg we are
fucking awesome l33t bastards;
bow down before us.

Rotf DBA! That comment about the ranch was great. method 3...aha...someone's playing around...
and now there's one after my comment...mmm....can you see it? It's right there --->

Wow...such power...I bow down...

haha, donut be confused by method3's haiku rampage... it's an art project.

I don't see any anything after your "--->"

I know you probably don't...only 'I' can...like only DBA can see hers.

Okay, Mister Moderator, this gal don't bow to newwwbody (lol) but what the hell are those things? And sometimes when I go back, they are gone.. they look like this...[+] only blue. And Laurael, yours is gone as is mine. They leave when you try to show them to someone.

Read Marcello's comment, DBA.

I did, and I'm just a dingy blonde, is there some hidden encrypted message there? Cuz I still don't get what the lil blue plus signs mean. *Shrugs and flips hair* lol

I saw one too just now on lilypad's gargoyle pic! I tried clicking it (mistaking it for a referance) and it did nothing! they are very strange!! And I am positive that it was not there yesterday! <---- There it is again!!! I saw just as i posted this comment!!

lol why not just take a screen to prove it? LIKE THIS!

Okay, You proved it! Now somebody tell me what they are! At least I won't be alone on the Plus Sign Ranch. Other Cellosoft cattle are being branded, too.

the only thing that was "proved," is that zappo uses a lame web browser. come on, internet explorer is for suckers.

The thing that was proved was that we are not all crazy and that Marcello is...(now ducking the blow)...*luv you Marcello*

if you guys see the sign, you will die in 7 days.... -___-

omg i only have 5 days left then... I see lots of them

Oh god!! I haven't even had sex yet and I'm gonna die?!!! Why does It have to end like this?!?! WHY!!!!

Lol, you've got a couple of days to make it happen rikku.
Now, what's the secret behind those [color:blue][+][/color] ...
I think I'll go crazy if I see one of those things again.

yall had to say something about them....... i wasn't paying attention to them untill yall said something and now they are bugging the hell out of me!!!!!. so what do they mean!!!!!!??????

hey man, IE is my friend......and, um......i hate you, you killed santa

Well, Santa had to be on foot, because I shot his reindeer off my roof last year for making too much racket. I spared him because he always brought me what I wanted. Now, does anybody know what the signs are? I'd like mine to be changed to a minus sign, because I'm a pessimist, and it suits me better.

feel free to try figuring it out...

Okay. I love a good mystery, anyway.

Awesome... now that I know the real meaning behind the signs. If you know what I mean. Here's a hint that Marcello gave me: 0.3s. Have fun now.

I think they are 2Draw's version of Crop Circles... they are being left by aliens in the middle of the night to confound, confuse, and otherwise occupy our minds (or maybe theres a couple of pranksters with two by fours making these when we arent looking).....I will have to wait and see what they show us on the Discovery Channel when "The Mystery of the Plus Signs" is aired....

But they appear just as you post a comment. How could they show up over night?

if you read the news, you'd know the answer to your question.

well... smack me with a brick.. I read the news and I saw nothing about the signs.. i saw the new URLS and all that.. but..?

But the fact that they disappear when you want someone to see them.... they are intelligent, which makes them a bit scary. 0.3's? I'm terrible with numbers. Give me a word riddle.

I just noticed one, and now they're showing up all over the place. Is this some cruel joke?

haha, this is too funny, yall are cracking me up. i always thought it had something to do with how much time had lapsed or something...but who knows...*flips blonde hair* .3 seconds??? haha yup, it definitely goes away after you refresh the page...so maybe it has to do with a newly posted comment. ok, too much thinking

Oh yes, it is a cruel cruel joke, for our (the moderators) fiendish entertainment. You see we have placed these blue plus signs everywhere and yet nowhere, to boggle the mind of the wary 2draw user! Then we use these signs to brainwash you subliminally and make you donate money, or they haunt you to the end of your days. That's is our devious plan, and now that I have told you, I must kill you.

Must.....donate......Must....... *slaps self* You have gone to far you evil beasts! I say we kill THEM!!

Aargh! I had a nightmare about this! The blue signs are going to possess my brain!

No really...

These things are taking over my mind. The other day I had a seizure and i believe that it is because of them.....(shrivles up in corner and weeps insanely).....im so scared please tell me what they are. ya know they could be there after you post a comment to tell you that you gained points for commenting but that is just a guess.

you're wrong.

Well, this place has such coolness (even without the plus signs) that I was gonna send money, anyway, if I can just find that link where to send it again... or if somebody would give me an old timey address ill write an old timey check, a business check, that way i can write it off on my taxes because that way i can donate and still not go to federal prison...(I'd rather draw pictures than play cards with Big Bertha) but back to the issue at hand here, How did Zappo make his blue? and I am still waiting for my word riddle from one of the god-like moderator people around here... ahemmm, Method, ahemm. Oh yeah, and here's a tip, better make sure I'm asleep if you're gonna try to kill me now, because I am a better shot than you.

[color:blue][+]

like that DBA? How about this......now I can't get back to black...

How did you do that? And are all of us seeing the signs? Or are we just the "chosen few"? Oh, that's one of them thar nifty thangs, aint it? lol

See where you make the comment? click on the nifty Too markup help and go to the bottom for color formatting...but don't over use...

....I think the + signs are really the cross hairs from the 2draw sniper.. his job is to train the weapon on the user to see if the comment is text abuse... if it is..no more deletions...just a quick loud bang..and suddenly you're gone..... (glad I donated already....whew)

lol @ davinci HAW HAW. :) I want psychadelic text, do they have that shade there in the nifty thing?

niftyToo Markup is pretty cool most of the time, as long as it's used right. Be warned, when you discover niftyToo Markup: you may be pwned by moderators left and right. If you read the help, you'll figure out how to close tags as well.

Here's a word riddle for the signs: what causes a page on 2draw to load zero point three seconds faster?

um...methamphetamines in the serial port?

I would not bother guessing, you will never figure it out unless someone tells you.

In the programming world, they'd call it a "bug," but I just call it a "feature."

Method, what is

pwned

? Does it feel good? lol I don't like bugs, but features are cool.

Bugs with features could be interesting... lol

Why did this conversation just go on a major tangent? It went from talking about the weird pluses, to nifty too and then bugs!! I hate tangents!!

rikku: they're actually all quite related. The only thing tangential here is your message.

Besides that, it wouldn't have been termed a tangent, anyway, it's called chasing rabbits, raiper.

[color:Black on black]Nifty too is olny fun if you dont abuse it[/color]
[color:Black on black]LIKE THIS! [/color]

It hurts my eyes just to look at that size of text.

lol, zappo, youre a trip...;p and speaking of tangents...how bout that differential calculus, eh? haha.

bleh.. Anyone wana tell me what the blue things are?

Don't make fun of my stupidity!! Please?

huh?? The blue thing just disapeared from my comment!

...isnt a tangent a fella who has spent the day at the beach?

hehe, i like it davinci...tan gent. hehehe.

davinci you are funeeee. I still wanna know what pwned means? And somebody (Marcello!) needs to just tell us what these blue things are doing. Oh! One is stuck to my shoe! I can't get it off!

that would take the fun out of it, would it not?

pwned is when you exchange jewelery for money. then go buy crack with it. duh.

pwned is a typo of owned. Alternative explanation: it's owned with a bleeding o.

nuh uh! its what a tv is after you steal it! PWNED!

that's 'pawned'

That's cool...'owned with a bleeding 'o'...
Not the 'being' owned tho...

pft...and i thought you were cool marcello.

everyone has their own definition of cool.

Yah. I once got pwned by the mods for niftyToo markup abuse...

...and I didn't even use it.

I've never used it, actually.

Sometimes the lack of niftyToo usage can be consider abuse. Such as including 10 mile long urls in your message without using the url tag.

I still can't get my head around what the blue thingys mean

What "blue thingys"?

The blue thingys that old men take to make them better in bed. Well, not only old men Use Viagra considering that marcello uses It all the time.

low blow.

buwahahahahahahaha your really vulgar for an eleven year old.....lol some of your art is too extreme for yourself to see lmao

Blue things: Personally, I'm accepting the blues things as one of the many mysteries of life - one of the things I'll never figure out, and it's not going to be life-changing if I do or don't.

niftyToo: I honestly have no idea why I was penalized. No ten mile long URLs from me. The only thing I can think of is that I like making different faces with parenthesis and such.

*shrug*

Or not.

What ones!? If you are talking about the collab with lilypad then I just drew the dude, not the boobie lady.

cellos gettin revenge for the viagra comment.......thats why everything is upside down

Hey! It's not my fault marcello uses artifitial sex enhancers. O.k. I think I better lay off the viagra crap or else the mods will start deleting my comments.

you know they will just like they deleted billy......remember billy? prolly not cause the mods killed him!

"kill" is such a vulgar word. We prefer to say "mentally relocated."

*pees pants* Oh crap I did It again!! Why do you guys always have to scare me like that
!! It makes me do stuff....... Just like my doggie.

Okay just let me know when we're through having fun so you can just tell me what those friggin things are. Come to think of it... I don't know that I've seen any today.

seen any what?

they never existed... they were an experiment in mass hypnosis... they worked quite well.... must see plus signs.. must see plus signs... must see plus signs..........
