    They have just transferred the site to the new server last night.

    Undoubtedly they are having teething troubles with either the hardware or with the configuration of the vBulletin software.

    As Juvenal said it may be a temporary problem. I hope the site will be accessible soon.

    Until then let's hang out here my fellow TWCers. ;)

    This is a strange and scary place (shiver), especially to those accustomed to hulry-burly of TWC.

    I was just looking at the debate about whether the Out Of Africa theory of human origins was ready to be overturned. Well, at TWC this would have included trolling, expression of entrenched positions, shouting, personal abuse and probably the handing out of several infractions. But here, the two sides not only wrote cogent arguments and remained polite, but actually acknowledged the validity of each other's points... it just isn't natural.

    Try the Backroom. Once you've got used to that, you won't want to return to the Mudpit.

    That's because the members here can be trusted to behave themselves in the spirit of the rules, written or unwritten, as opposed to the drama queens and line pushers at TWC.

    The .Org member pool has always been more mature on average than the TWC one, that's its strong point.

    If you're familiar with the Backroom, you'd realise this isn't so, and indeed moderators have much greater leeway here to keep their forums in the right spirit. The main difference is in members' self-restraint, which can be virtually non-existent among the trolling community in TWC. Here, for the most part, there is a consensus to keep oneself to the spirit of the forums, and to accept the axe when it falls. Probably to do with the more mature membership. eg. IIRC the average Orgah was 24 or something in last year's survey, while the Backroom, which is where the political discussion is, has an even greater average age.

    Sod this forum discussion anyway, I'm off to the Babe thread.

    We have members who delight pushing the limit of the rules, much to the chagrin of our moderators. Thankfully though they are well-sensed and polite enough to do their line-dancing in the Backroom.

    They eventually make their way to the Entrance Hall, don't they? I remember DevDave being a regular greeter in the Welcome thread.

    Whenever a big name Backroomer has to take a time out, they normally stop by here to have a few and hang with the newbloods.

    The Entrance hall, much like the Watchtower, is left open to you should you wrack up too many warnings and need a break from it all. It's a way to stay in touch with the community despite passed infractions. If you continue to cause trouble, however...

    There is much talk of the Backroom.

    For me it is just a blank space, I am clearly not worthy.

    How does one gain entry to experience its rumoured delights at first hand?

    To expand upon this:

    Backroom membership is approved by the moderators who watch over that place. They can revoke your backroom status at any time should you choose not to play nice. They also reserve the right to deny you access in the first place if it is proven, or suspected, that you will join only to be a combative and hostile poster.

    For the most part everyone gets in and is deserving of a chance, unless you give the mods reason to suspect otherwise.

    Firstly, go to your "UserCP" > "Group Memberships".

    You should be presented with a list of a variety of groups. Select to join "Backroom" and then click "Join Group" at the bottom of the page. When asked to input your reason for joining, feel free to leave it blank.

    After that, just wait for up to a week for the Backroom mods to allow you access. Once that's happened, you should be able to see the forum.

    Hope this helps

    Gah! Looks like I've been beaten to it!

    That's quite appealing to me.

    Alright, I requested Backroom access.

    Haha, funny smileys here.
