What would I find?
Would there be a control room with heretofore faceless mods and administrators constantly scanning the boards for trouble? Do they hurl their Reader coffee mugs at each other arguing over whether a poster should be banned?
Would there be a 19-year old IT intern asleep at a single workstation?
Would I find myself in a glorified closet somewhere in Chicago (or Bangalore) looking at a server rack?
In other words, how physical is our central nervous system?
All you would find left is a small puddle of goo.
Actually, we all have those flashy-things, like Tommy Lee Jones in Men in Black.
IF you got in, you’d wake up in a park, nekkid, with your underwear around your ankles, babbling about goats.
Prolly a room full of hamsters running on wheels.
Yes, but in that puddle a bunch of amino acids are starting to form the first protein.
It’s quite fascinating, really.
Bingo! (Metro Chicago–the exact location shall remain secret.)
The Mods and Admins tend to hang out in their own homes, scattered across the world, dodging questions from progeny and nasty looks and tart comments from spouses and SOs.
(There are goats, but they are located in Deb’s barns and I only have to get up and feed them a couple of times a day. Putting up hay or mucking stalls takes longer, but is not a daily occurrence.)
Aaaaah, Sunday mornings.
It’s like the Fortress of Solitude . . . only cooler.

First one to say that the Fortress of Solitude is at the North Pole and it’s hard to get cooler than that, will earn a demerit.
And here I was picturing it like the Batcave, only cooler…
But the Fortress of Solitude is at the North Pole and it’s hard to get cooler than that.
ZING!!! Hahahaha, I am a true champ!!!
Wow, so that’s what happened… any chance on getting the pants back or no?
Looks at his location, gets irate
Looks at Tuba’s post, and sees she specified Solitude
Nevermind…
Interesting question in the OP. That, and the answers so far, make me wonder if any of the mods have met (in person) all the other mods, or some of the other mods, or another mod or two, or none at all . . . And if every one of the mods has visited the hdqts at some time or other. I don’t mean for anyone to mention names here.
Just curious.
Really.
NO, yes, yes, yes, no.
And I didn’t mention names.
Am I allowed to name names? Because I know that Dr. Matrix and Cajun Man were an item, so I know they’ve met.
What he said.

I’m left wondering if they have to learn a Super-Secret Mod Handshake before they’re allowed into HQ.
I thought the Fortress of Solitude was at the South Pole. Was I misinformed?
We have supersecret ModFests, where we get…ummmm…comfortable, eat too much, drink too much, and play nude air hockey. It’s all way too much excitement for me, though I enjoyed hanging out with the others. One problem is that they expect me to be awake during DAYLIGHT hours. I don’t work that way.
