Apparently I was a moderator for thirty seconds

As you should be, because – if this particular installation of vBulletin is configured for it – the mods and administrators will know exactly where you’re lurking at any given time.

vB 3.0 can be set up to display users viewing a forum or thread. For instance, scroll down to the bottom of this page or this page. As with anything else in vBulletin, the feature can be turned on or off for various user groups.

there are no moderator forums i was completely mistaken i saw nothing unusual everybody calm down there is nothing to see

:turns to reveal lobotomy scar:

Not me, baby. I went to the problems thread that included “j” and searched for “js.” No hits. When I clicked to check the second (and last) page, my access was denied. So…I’m fairly clean, I guess.

It doesn’t say “STAFF”. You only think it does. It stands for Seen Traversing A Forbidden Forum. You’re being tracked.

I’d get rid of it if I were you.

Thats right. We were just all dreaming. Honest. Please believe me or they’ll hurt us again. sobs

Well that’s right son, back in the early time they say that the moderators walked the earth, just like men and women. They were said to have a secret place where they practiced their unworldly devices. Some of the chartered ones claim that the secret forum was discovered but because of the curse upon none it survived to tell its secrets. Cecil says this is crap so never speak of it again. Case closed.

I saw it as well and reported Lobsang’s post (cuz you can’t report your own posts). That was the empty forum. I didn’t even go into the other forum because I didn’t want to be the first banned charter member :).

So if a near-death experience is a NDE, was this a NME?

Instead of seeing the light and moving towards it, you saw secret boards and moved toward them?

Yeah, that’s a pretty good picture of it. Except that I didn’t have to get hit by a truck to facilitate it.

Well, that and it never happened. Shhhh…

Lucky bastards. I paid up and can’t even post! I hope they didn’t just take my money and say “sucker!”

I confess. Me, too. And no hits.

I feel like such a goody two-shoes.

You want a piece of Juicy Fruit?

[Man in Black who looks oddly like Jesse Ventura]It wasn’t a secret forum, it was the planet Venus. Nothing more than the planet Venus. Many reports of secret forums have turned out to actually be the planet Venus. If anyone asks you what you saw, you tell them it was the planet Venus.[/MIBWLOLJV]

Woosh.

It was the planet venus. It was the planet venus. It was the planet venus…

See, now you’ve shattered my idea of what the mod forums are like. I pictured a smoke filled room, filled with gangsters, discussing board matters past cigars clenched in their teeth. Like the Sopranos or something.

Nah, that’s just paranoia. We don’t even bother with frills anymore. It’s kinda like all those aliens perplexed and grossed out by anal probes.
We did have to retire the goat, though, so just come along quietly now…

Why, do you need some tin cans chewed on? Oh…wait… :runs frantically: Arrrrg!
