Symbol that keeps getting posted on /x/ Each night (some times earlier than others but usually between midnight and 4am eastern) someone on /x/ has been posting a picture of three letters forming a symbol. They simply post 'Have you seen me?' along side it. A few times someone claiming to be OP has posted some other stuff with it, that sound like random zealous ranting, but I don't have screenshots.

I don't know whether to think it's a troll, some crappy forced meme they're trying to push, or a trailhead for something. I'm curious to know if any of you know what's up.

i saw it for the first time yesterday, didn't think much of it, but now that it has been put up "every night" as you said, anyone would think its strange.

i am rather new on the boards there,
i thought it was just some random posting, but as the person above correctly said it has been every night now.
i tried to reverse look up the image and came back with nothing, which is rather unusual. If the symbol was part of a site it would have pinged back with something,
Gonna do a wee bit more looking into this symbol and the letters, perhaps try some more reverse look ups.
I will also be keeping a close eye on the boards. See if it is posted again.

It's been going on to my knowledge, since the end of this past summer. I've tried Google and Tineye on it and there's never anything found on either. There's no hidden RAR to my knowledge (I try the poster's pic each time and there's never anything there). The only thing I get when I search the letters, that makes any sort of sense, is 'Flock of Jesus', which considering where this came from, I highly doubt that's the case.
(for those who don't know, /x/ is 4chan's 'Paranormal' board, encompassing everything from cryptids, to aliens, to conspiracies, cults, 'magic' and so forth, which is why the Jesus bit doesn't seem to fit at all.)

Jesus is highly relevant to /x/; they discuss religion all the time.

I lurk on /x/ a fair bit.
I have seen that symbol before but no one has ever mentioned jesus.
I agree there is a fair amount of religion floating about on that board, however in this context I do not believe it has much to do with jesus. Simply because none of the comments ever relate to jesus.

Has anybody on /x/ got anywhere at all investigating this? We can't be the only ones curious about it.

i have seen that posted on /x/ many times, but there was never any productive post or any sort of clue in that threads
posting it so that tinyeye and google image search would find it and future seekers will be redirected here

well, the OP has posted that image again, it could be related to pokemon (unown) as someone said in response to the OP, i'm thinking that this whole thing is nothing but a forced meme or a promotion of some sorts.
it probably won't last long but the link to the whole topic is here:
