    Whilst mourning my loss of access to the reported posts forum, I noticed another drop down thingy.

    Inactive, it's called.
    It contains links to two forums. David Hasselhoff and Chuck Norris.
    I clicked on the links and found that I was denied permission to view these forums.
    What's up with that? Hurricane Helms. Woooo!

    Am I not cool enough to view these forums?
    Which Admin do I have to make a nice meal for so that I can view these forums once and then never bother with them again?

    Isn't the word inactive a bit of a clue?

    Yeah looks like they're closed, don't show up in the Beta skin forum search either.

    Please tell me the Mustard forum is next on the list? :D

    Both forums were set up on the back of an internet meme ("the hoff" and "chuck norris is so tough...") that has since gotten a lot quieter if not died off completely.

    When I originally suggested that the forums be closed in July of this year they hadnt been posted to in over two months (front page of both fora was stickies only). Since then I've been monitoring them to see if any traffic does turn up but there's only been one or two, very vague posts in the 5 months I've been looking at them so it was about time they went.

    I'll have a look at the forum properties and see why they are showing up in the inactive category, they are in the right place, they just shouldnt be visible on a drop down menu.

    That's fair enough.
