Just using advanced search and this came up a topic...

Any ideas??

link?

KurriKurri · 08/08/2010 23:28

Presumably for those who don't like using state funded trolls.

belledechocolatefluffybunny · 08/08/2010 23:29

Duno, trolls that were educated at Harrow? Confused

MilkNoSugarPlease · 08/08/2010 23:30

oh Fgs!

Kurri&Belle you've just made me spit horlicks wine over the screen!

:o

CrunchyNutCornflake · 08/08/2010 23:31

Hmm, can't spot it in the general topics lists though may not probbaly not searching correctly.

But go on, some one else do an advanced search and select topics, it's there I promise you!

You can see the topic name but can't access it.

Could be a hidden area of the site only visible to HQ - mods and admins. Handy to talk about er, possible trolls and keep all the discussion in one place.

But I bet they have a good laugh at us all there too when we're drunk / making arses of ourselves etc

MiladyDeSummer · 08/08/2010 23:34

I'm only guessing but I'm a moderator of another forum and we have a secret board on which we do exactly that Grin

KurriKurri · 08/08/2010 23:43

That all sounds a bit MI5 Milady.Shock

Careful you don't get injected with a poisoned umbrella Crunchy.

AnyFucker · 08/08/2010 23:47

bloody hell...how spooky Grin

MiladyDeSummer · 08/08/2010 23:48

There was a time actually when someone was messing around with the forum software and made it visible. Shocked but mostly-amused regular members could read all the behind-the-scenes stuff.

It would be very interesting if this sort of thing is why the topic title is now visible. Dark underbelly on MN and all that...

MiladyDeSummer · 08/08/2010 23:48

Valpollicella · 08/08/2010 23:54

Valpollicella · 09/08/2010 00:04

Nah, you'd just be disappointed Dorothea. Best they are kept secret...ignorance is bliss and all that....

AnyFucker · 09/08/2010 00:14

KurriKurri · 09/08/2010 00:17

She got too close to the truth AF, I'm namechanging before I get airbrushed out of all the photos.

AnyFucker · 09/08/2010 00:20

this is a bit scary Shock

Valpollicella · 09/08/2010 00:22

The Secret Service branch of MNHQ have obviously been deployed.... Shock

MilkNoSugarPlease · 09/08/2010 00:25

You do realise Justine etc will suddenly descend from our roofs, jump through the window and take computers then be winched away :o

KurriKurri · 09/08/2010 00:30

I can't see them either caramel are you 'one of them?'

MiladyDeSummer · 09/08/2010 00:31

Two ongoing subjects.

One of which is probably how to make us this thread disappear quietly
