    We all know true and well about all the secret forums us regular members and others can't see. I know a few but have no clue what the hell goes on behind their closed doors.

    Diagon Alley - Harry potter fan club?(For nerds :D)
    PI mods forum - Kinda Obvious but so pointless
    Lolocaust - ????

    :confused:
    Am i missing any?

  • Registered Users Posts: 10,992 ✭✭✭✭partyatmygaff


    so subscribing gets you access to the "sekkrit" hush hush forums? Must be all sorts of weird and wonderful things going on.

    As Beruthiel put it to me when I asked a few weeks ago, "Private forums are for private people". I'm sure theres plenty of forums for social groups and gaming clans, for example.
    Try PM'ing the mod of such a forum to see what response you get.

    Why do you need to apply to the soccer forum? What's so special about them?


  • Registered Users Posts: 26,061 ✭✭✭✭Terry


    Subscription does not give you access to every forum.

    There are many private forums here and some are just for friends to have a chat and nothing major happens there.

    Lolocaust?
    The mods have no problem giving people access.
    Same goes for Slydice.
    They are the only 2 private forums I have access to apart from the mod forums which are private for a reason.
    I don't have access to the PI mods forums. That's just for PI mods. The AH mods have our own little one. It's just chatter about what we are going to do with the new charter we're drawing up. I'd say the PI mods do a similar thing.

    At the end of the day, you're not really missing anything and pretty much anyone can have their own private forum.

    Cuts down on baiting posters and spam.

    There are many 'secret' forums, subscribing doesn't get you access to all of them.

    They don't like it when the public sees the crying when their team loses.

    To prevent immature idiots doing this
    Poster 1: Man Utd. Are gonna win this match, liverpool haven't a hope in hell.

    Poster 2: STFU you idiot, UTD suck, we're gonna kick your f*cking asses


    Poster 3: Yeah right, sh1thead, liverpool suck


    Poster 1: WTF IS WITH YOU MAN? LIVERPOOL MAKE ME SICK


    Mod: *Flexes out banning muscles* YOUR ALL PERMABANNED /btw all your teams suck
    Arsenal ftw

    I think you get my point, how would you join a private forum if you didnt even know it exists though


  • Registered Users Posts: 26,558 ✭✭✭✭Creamy Goodness


    soccer needs to be private because beforehand everyone was just signing up fake account and hurling abuse to players and posters.

    something had to change.

    i'm apart of a couple private forums, the ones i'm apart of aren't that great, they are fun but i wouldn't miss them tbh.

    i'm sure there's other great things in other private forums, but they are private for a reason.


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,097 ✭✭✭✭zuroph


    I would like access to lolocaust and slydice, who do i need to chat to?!

    Not true. Example: Your private parts.

    Otherwise, yeah! me three! I want access to forums I don't know anything about, and it doesn't matter whether it'd be suitable for me, just gimme!

    Grown men acting like children. Sports. Go figure.

    For the legitimate user its very straightforward to request access. Its just a firewall measure in effect.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19,183 ✭✭✭✭Will


    Lots and lots of private forums, stupid amounts. There's ones even without mods so they don't show up beside names etc.

    But how does one access the Lolocaust or Slydice?


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,992 ✭✭✭✭partyatmygaff


    I wonder how many forums the Admins can see, can SMODs have access to all the forums?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19,183 ✭✭✭✭Will
