I'd prefer not. I use that link (and therefore that logo) all the time when done with a post to get back to the forum main. Now that we've got post indicators that work flawlessly (for me at least), that's an ideal way to stay on top of things when I'm sitting around in F5 mode (and on a lab computer where I don't feel comfortable d/l'ing Opera for multiple window goodness).setaside wrote:Should we just delete it(replace it with a plain white .gif of the same dimensions) for now?

I like it - specifically because you expect it to be poetic (or Lovecraftian), and then drops you ungracefully into something mundane and geeky. Sort of like Octopus Overlords. The appeal is in its rude contrast.
