    Do you mean whether this board software allows to have private forums?

    The backroom, but I don't think it's private ? Maybe to Junior members ?

    EB has a hidden forum. i think you have to be a member of the "EB" group to see it or something.. maybe there's a password?
    now i'm here, and history is vindicated.

    intresting question...

    I've always tried to figure out how KukriKhan can inform staff about something in several minutes... perhaps a non-visible staff notes board? I don't know... I am only moderator at an ezboard.. no vbulletin ones so I don't know if it's possible.

    joking about KukriKhan.. he just does his job very well

    I checked once the Who's Online.

    And I noticed at Adherbal and Epistolary Richard:

    Game Mechanics

    Selected it, and it wanted a password. Dang, I wanted to know the RTW Game Mechanics.

    Plus, I'm also a moderator, but at a Invision Power Board, and it allows private forums.

    Yes. It has a hidden EB forum, a few other hidden modification forums, and probably one or more forums only visible to staff.

    Seems Tosa has enabled the option that allows people to see when others are viewing prohibited areas. If he hadn't, they would just be listed as viewing the forum index.

    The question of whether or not there is a hidden forum has plagued the minds of patrons since the dawn of the .org's time. Yet so far no one has proven it, though many have tried. Many have came public with information reguarding these so called "private" forums, but each time the .org moderators reply with carefully crafted puns and clever sarcasm that turns curious eyes away. and when it seemed as if a break through could be made, all evidence is deemed "gah" or "t3h oLd!"

    For now, the moderator's hold on the evidence seems to be stopping any real progress from being made, and the questions of "are we patrons alone in the forums? or is there a place set up to watch us...study us?" are still raised by those brave enough to ask..

    For now.. it seems the .org patrons may never know.. For the useless sarcasm and terrible joke channel. I'm Monk. I'll see you next time on "investigating what no one else wants to.."

    Somehow, i don't think that is real. Just doing a search of the member list, we don't have any members called 'Collective' or 'L-Jo and DaBoyz'. and you may be popular Tosa, but not that popular.

    I agree with MC.

    Weird forums you got.

    But a huuuge inbox. That's why we get only 30 messages space.

    If you can have hidden forums, you can have hidden users too. Stands to reason. (vB does have an option to stop certain usergroups from showing up on the member list.)

    Arguably, but at least it would explain why it can sometimes take him a while to respond to PMs.

    I love the "HugAThug" option, that is just priceless tosa...

    Though i have to admit, the free flowers i ordered haven't gotten here yet..does it take 2 or 3 weeks for delivery?

    Oh! and i gotta say, our topic on such flowers has grown out of hand. I think we should delete some of those 78 million posts..

    Another question why is there a "Need more flowers" thread in both the Extra Touch and Justice and Freedom for all threads?
