I always thought it looked like Dante from the new Devil May Cry game, but I'm pretty sure that's wrong.

When a thread is closed, the Reply button is replaced with a tiny image featuring a man and the text "Don't go there!" The man on the button is Cyrus Sahukar, a VJ on the Indian version of MTV, whose image was appropriated by Lowtax around the year 2000.

A larger version of the image he was taken from can be found here: http://j4cbo.mirror.waffleimages.co...d333dbb962e.gif

The link to that pic is dead, sadly, and GIS isn't showing me anything that looks like it could be the source. :iiam:

He's a "spotter," which is a TFLC IK. Also this is the first time I saw that since shine asked if the spotters could get little icons because of how helpful they are.
