An Invisibob is a special
avatar glitch from Gaia Online. This
avatar glitch was only possible on April Fools' Day of
2004.
Since the YGS, or "You got Served" boxes, exploded in your avatar's face, it looked
like there was soot on it.
The Administrators had planned for it to go away after 24 hours, but it didn't - they'd stay until you saved changes to your avatar. Thus, this led to
two types of rare avatars: the Sootfaces and Invisibobs.
An Invisibob was created by deleting your avatar data, then clicking on a YGS
box. The resulting explosion glitched the avatar system and forced your avatar to go to the default base - a Soot-face and a pair of floating boxers.
