I long to see the secret forums. I really do. Alas, I probably never will. \ ---

There is a Moderator only forum, so that they may discuss policy, offending posts, and hardcore chimpanzee clown porn. How else would Coldfire get so many posts? ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Netbrian \* > \*\*Wha? > > I’m nearly certain he’s correct. There is indeed a moderators only forum (actually several) that is used to move posts to that you don’t really need the general board population seeing, but need to await further review. \*\* ::sigh:: Yes, there is ONE moderator only forum. Do you REALLY want to know what’s in it? That’s where we move all the “Make Money Fast” posts, assorted other spams, really vile posts, and notes about who was warned, what they were warned about, and what thread they were warned in. It’s also where we make note of who was banned and for what reason. Here’s a typical post, made by yours truly, in the Banned thread: > [@](#): > > Chester2003, posted two links to outwar with misleading link names. Here’s a typical post made by someone else in the Warning thread: > [@](#): > > Warned {name deleted}in this thread {link deleted}, for making inappropriate remarks regarding gays. There, isn’t that EXCITING? We don’t even discuss who’s ahead in the Mod Pit Thread contest. We save that for email. The only reason we use the mod forum to archive this information is because it’s easier to find the information than rooting around in our various email files. Truly, it’s the most boring forum on the board. Our emails, however, are chock full of humor sometimes. At other times we just send out a note saying “I’m gonna be on vacation/moving/whatever from \ to \. Please cover \.” ---

Well, now I’ve seen **Coldfire** in a kilt and heard his incredibly sexy voice on **Francesca** ’s site (deep, masculine voices are a major turn-on that make me go all Jamie Lee Curtis in “A Fish Called Wanda” when John Cleese speaks Russian). So, _does_ his girlfriend get jealous? 😃 ---

Alright…a show of hands: who has ever been called on their post content BY A MOD? I may have pissed off a member or two, but I’ve never been reprimanded by " da man". Anyone? Anyone? Buehler? ---

Incubus–I enjoy [www.somethingawful.com](http://www.somethingawful.com). It costs 9.95 to join the forums. I am such a dork for paying to go on yet another forum, but it is worth it. There’s some priceless shit on there.
