Hmmm I wonder what it could be...?

Do you see any correllation between blue doors and contributorship status?

hmmmm (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=143723)

All the people who have given $25 to MR are given access to a "special board"

There is probably a thread that decides what the theme of the 'tars should be. I think its every week?

I am also curoius who came up with the idea..... :confused:

If you contribute, you get to giggle with the rest of us in Private, and then when you hit 500 posts you'll have an avatar of your own to play around with... and you'll have the satisfaction of helping our favorite forum stay afloat.

It will give you more of a sense of community. The pleasure of knowing that you are supporting the forum. You will be able to visit and chat in the private forum. With time and thoughtful post to #500, you also will have and Avatar.

i am not all that worried about a avatar (i'll get there when i'm there). i mostly lurk when i am at work. that is why my post count is kinda low.

now however i am home enjoying a nice cold one, and having fun reading this..

thanks everyone!!

MR is such a great community.

Don't get me wrong, I wasn't knocking contributing. I think it is a great thing, and I plan to do it sooner than later....

There benefits are much greater than understanding this blue door thing, although it seems lots of people are contributing so that they do understand it! Whatever works....

HINT - Highlight to read, do not quote.

You need to dial the help note into the phone, each letter is a number. Look at your personal phone to figure out what it what. The skull is the *. Now try the rest on your own! ;)

"Hidden" Solution Below - Do Not Quote:
Here is a walkthrough for the Blue Chamber:

Go to the desk with the phone on it and open the drawer. Take the pen.

Turn all the way around and face the chair. Click on the cushion and take the piece of paper.

Go to the pole thing on the wall and take the cylinder out of it.

Click on the paper and then keep clicking on the pen until it says "Help Me."

Put the paper into the cylinder.

Put the cylinder back into the pole and press the red button. Wait for it to come back then take the paper back out.

Make a 180 degree turn to face the picture. Click on the upper right corner of the frame. Then click on the upper left corner. Then the lower right corner. Take the money.

Click on the money and then the pen. Draw a face. Then put the money into the cylinder.
Go to the phone and dial 4357*63. A deep voice will tell you "OK."

Put the money back in the cylinder

Go to the pole and put the cylinder back inside. Press the red button. When it comes back take the key out.

Use the key on the door.

Very easy. :D

I figured those up for a challenge wouldn't read it - those who like the easy way out would. BTW - those other room games are MUCH harder.

EDIT #3: never-mind, just me being an ass.

Oh, I thought when you beat the game you find out what is up with the blue doors. I guess the subject changed completely. All I was trying to say was that I think the blue door is obviously in respect to Blue Velvet's recent return to MacRumors. Then I got all confused about the game. :o
