In your Other Users nodelet you will see a chatterbox "topic" This is where users can post small announcements or commentary they believe to be of general interest to the community.

But I never visit Other Users or I have it turned off

You are also given the option to move it down underneath the talk button in your user settings, home of everything that's right in the world. You can outright ignore it by shutting off whatever nodelet it's in, if it is such an eyesore for you.

The topic goes away when I change rooms!

Topics are by room, and thus it means nobody has set the topic for the room that you are currently in. Unfortunately regular users cannot set the topic for rooms other than "outside."

How do I change the topic?

Users who are at least level 6 can reset the topic by using a topic token, which can be purchased at the E2 Gift Shop.
