What happens at the "private forums"?

[66217]

I was reading the MacRumors FAQ (for the first time I think ) and saw that contributors have access to private forums.

So, what happens here?

One way to find out...

 

[EricNau]

Trust me, they'll never tell.

.....stays in the Private Forums.

WOW. Never though it was that kind of a secret.

This reminds me of Matrix.

Maybe we are controlled by Demi-Gods, and we all live in an unreal life.

Well, they are the Private Forums.

My vow to MR is that at 5,000 posts I will Demi up.

Well you are getting close.
I'll get it when I have some extra money that I don't know what to do with.

you convinced me; it's for the good of the community. but if there aren't any of the freebies you mentioned, i'll come looking for you.

 

[mad jew]

Shameless attempt to recruit another cool demi

My vow to MR is that at 5,000 posts I will Demi up.

You? Pah! You're not nearly manly enough to ever get to 5,000 posts.

I did that, wish I did it earlier though.

What happens in the private forums, stays in the private forums.

I wouldn't think a whole lot would happen in there that doesn't happen out here....

I heard that if you try and post in the Private Forums with a Windows PC, it explodes! It was a funnier in my mind.

Also, If you become a demi-god, are you instantly allowed to have an avatar, or do you still need 500 posts? Based on my average posts per day (0.66), its gonna take me 317 days to get one.

The 500 posts thing still applies. There are some demis who mostly lurk and don't have avatars, but you won't see them often because they usually lurk

 

[iMacZealot]

Quick question: how many demis are there?

 

[PlaceofDis]

Quick question: how many demis are there?

only the mods/gods know presumably. but even they might not know.

I would think only Arn knows for sure.

I'm going to close this thread since, by definition, the private forum is private, and since I think the answer has been provided: The private forum lets the paid members have their own discussions among that smaller community. As in the public forums, the choices of discussion topics are up to the members and vary over time.

Although some may consider access to a private forum, removal of most ads, and special user titles to be worth the price of paid membership, the primary reason to join is to support the site. That helps us continue to offer free public access to news, rumors, discussion forums, Guides, and our related websites like MacBytes and DailyTunes.

We appreciate both our paid members and those who support the site just by visiting, participating in discussions, letting others know about MacRumors, and of course patronizing our advertising sponsors.
