    A couple changes were recently made in the forum structure. The Tavern became a category of its own so that the Gameroom, Frontroom, and Backroom all got main full main index listings. In addition, the previous restrictions on viewing the Backroom were lifted. The Backroom is now visible and readable by everyone, even unregistered members. However, the old restrictions on posting in the Backroom remain. It is an opt-in system and requires approval from the Backroom staff. Instructions on how to apply can be found here. If you have already done that and still cannot post, you should contact the Backroom Moderators, as they are the ones that approve requests to post there.

    There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    The Backroom is visible to all so the wise will be scared away. The Backroom only allows the select to post so that only those with high quality tripe to post can add to the refuse heap.

    Ah, sorry, when I made the changes I only did them to non-staff usergroups. I have now enabled searching for Moderators and Content Managers as well as everyone else. Yes, the Backroom should be searchable by everyone now. If it's not, let me know and I'll figure out the problem and fix it.

    There was no post... *waves magical hand*

    Actually, I don't remember the post in question you are referring to so I cannot make any statements. I am sure it fits in somewhere and not contradictory at all!

    It's a tradition that the Backroom is closed during Christmas. Check out the announcement here.
