Title: Dark Secrets of the Forum
Post by: The Enigmatic Dr X on 08 November, 2014, 07:13:46 PM
So, it seems the board has a Holding Pen?

What's that, then? Sounds kinda facistic, Area 51-y. Is it where the dark posts go?

Are the Moderators secretly holding Thread Zero there, experimenting on it - until it leaks back into our world?

Is it where we go when we stop posting? (And I thought Trout just emigrated... but now, now I can see the evidence points otherwise - so much for "the better life" and "new start").

I know I shouldn't ask. But if not me, then who?

Rise up! Rise up! They cannot keep us down! Alone, we are weak. Toget

...and that was the last we ever heard of that Doctor X, what an enigma.

Rumours ran rampent around the board that those that sort the dark corners heard a strange figure, with a curious stoop that made he seem... well seem like a dangerous pepper pot... whispered to them, begging for release. He'd claim strange things, about Roger and his mum being with him, whatever that meant... but as soon as he came he'd go, dragged away by a tall grim figure twirling an over dramatic mustache and they'd never see, nor hear of him again.

Haha. I was just wondering if anyone was going to comment on Thryllseekyr's brainwashed orang utan, MD Ripper theory.

Does anyone actually exist outside of this forum or are we all some sort of internet biochips?

I'm starting to think I might be another forum member's sock puppet, but everytime I start to turn around and look, I keep getting this strange and horrifically painful feeling in my gut. Like there's a hand up my arse grabbing handfuls of organs and twisting...

I will posit a theory and suggest there is an area of the forum accessible to Mods only, to discuss forum issues and so forth.  This may contain an area where questionable posts are contained pending discussion/approval before either being moved from the board or allowed to be posted. 

The thread that provoked this one may have been contained in the holding area due to it potentially being a commercial entity soliciting business, something outside of the forum guidelines.

This is, of course, just a theory.  I have no insider knowledge.

I'm a new user. I don't seem to be able to start a new thread to ask the question I came here to ask. Is this also a dark secret of the forum?

Ah wait, this only seems to be a problem in the 'Other Reviews' thread. there is no 'new topic' button there. I have some questions about the Complete Case Files...
