mood meter

hey, i was just wonderin, how in the hell is that meter determined? it cant be the smileys, that wud be too variable, and itd be pointless to comb thru the whole thing.

or is it just a stable icon, never moving, always hovering just under the 'concerned' mood? a hoax on a hoax site? now thats my kind of irony...

The more posts put in BTS the meter moves to the left towards Tranquil...the more posts in ATS the meter goes towards the right, Running for the Hills.

It is strange, that the final place on the mood meter is running for the hills, were things desperate, the hills would be no safe place, nor would running around.

To be sure, it is an expression, but not a good one, I have never thought. It is silly really, perhaps "hiding in a vault" would be better?
