This job request appeared in Episode 30 of Fairy Tail S2

So, considering the 7 year time skip, the amount of adventures they have went
on for about 200 Episodes, why has this request not been cleared yet?

Is there any significance that they re-used this particular job request again
and again?

Yes, I am positive that this has appeared more than this 2 times throughout
the entire Fairy Tail Anime.

Job request in Fairy Tail untouched for hundreds of episodes


As kuwaly said, it is the infamous "picture" of the [Loch Ness
Monster](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loch_Ness_Monster). I'm sure there is no
real meaning to it, simply that it is a long-running joke in the anime. The
reason they used the Loch Ness monster is likely because in real life many
people visit the Scottish Highlands, specifically lake Loch Ness to try and
find/prove the Loch Ness Monster. The reason they have continued to re-use the
request is because, just like in real life no one has "found" the Loch Ness
Monster, and because it's just a funny Easter egg that you would only notice
if you payed very close attention.

Although the infamous hoax image seems to be backwards/flipped in the anime.

Similar Easter Eggs using the Loch Ness monster can be seen in these examples:

  * The video game Hitman: Absolution ![enter image description here](https://i.stack.imgur.com/RWMgJ.jpg)

  * [Google Maps](http://searchengineland.com/google-maps-travel-loch-ness-monster-easter-egg-193243)

Hope this helps!
