    Question "mod" forum

    is it true that a forum exists just for mods?
    Milk was a bad choice.

    I've yet to see a forum that didn't have a mod/admin only section so they could talk forum stuffs without us mere mortals involved.

    Do you mean a forum on the Internet where only moderators of other forums gather as regular members?

    But then who moderates those forums?

    no

    i personally kinda think you're just pulling my leg, but i am open to the possibility that you aren't

    but a forum is a specific section of a message board. i.e, PvP Forum, General Off-Topic Forum, World of Warcraft General Discussion Forum, etc. So a message board is usually referred to as a site's "forums".

    I'm not saying that there isn't one, but I'm also not denying that there isn't one. If you know what I mean.

    No, there isn't. All we have is a sinkhole in southwest Nevada and a carton of week-old egg whites.

    It wouldn't be inaccurate to assume that he couldn't exactly not say that this is or isn't almost partially incorrect. He's possibly more or less not definitely rejecting the idea that in no way with any amount of uncertainty that he undeniably does or does not know whether or not there probably is (or isn't) such a forum.

    You could be a reincarnation of Sir Humpfrey Appleby (go watch Yes Minister if you don't know who that is) with a way with words like that

    BTW, that is a compliment

    Let us look to quantum physics. Quantum physics tells us that, until a particle is observed, it exists in both possible states, as with the famous thought experiment of Schrodinger's Cat, where the cat is both alive and dead, until you open the box and see for yourself. Mod forums, like any other particle, behave in the same way, such that they both exists and do not exist, simultaneously, until you are able to enter the mod forums, by achieving moderator status, and check for yourself. In which case the mod forum wave pattern will collapse into one of those two eventualities.

    Until you can observe the results, they both exist and do not exist, floating as a pattern of probabilities that refuse to resolve either way.

    I'll lay it all to rest.

    Yes. It's as totally off-topic as this thread, though, frequently filled with Pokemon
