sort of mind-game, I guess

[Shlup]

I would totally do it. What I would do is load a page in one tab, then immediately load another, log out, and then log in again and go onto front page. I think it would come up as you viewing the front page, as opposed to the staff forum. Heehehe.

You don't even need to do the log out/in step. That's what I would do too, just load something in the Staff Forum, then immediately load something else in another tab.

staff can see you even if you decide to go invisible?

You'd be amazed and horrified by all we can see. Muahaha

Staff, please don't get offended . . . but . . .

Why? I can't imagine that there's anything all that interesting there. At least nothing I would be all that interested in reading.

I've been staff on a fairly heavily visited forum. The things we'd post in the staff only wasn't all that interesting.

We can be some crazy bitches. During the period where I stepped down from staff, I went half-mad knowing the invisible little Staff Forum was right there with all the good dirt in it, just out of reach.

ETA: I mean, you're right, it's boring. You guys wouldn't be interested in looking in there. It's just BoB posting tables and charts and Leeza posting "o hay bob that is relevant to my interests" and then Psychotic goes "but not mine, stupid bob."

I'd view all the "Let's Post Pics of Ourselves Naked" threads in staff forum and then get banned like that one guy.

[Momiji]

Post in the "Momiji is a huge failure at life" thread. We all chip in with insults about lil' ol' Justin, so if you somehow find access to the forum, folks, you're more than welcome to join the party.

I'd even post in it if I could.

[Wolf Kanno]

Well... not counting the time they were doing maintenance and I somehow became BoB's account whenever I tried to post...

I probably wouldn't bother. Considering how little I post in General Chat, or the feedback forums in general I can't see why I would be interested. I might eventually crack and check the super secret porn forum and then have my mind totally shattered by what I see.

To be honest, we probably wouldn't ban you cause just looking at what goes on in there would give you a case of soap opera amnesia.

[Jiro]

It would be hard to resist, but I wouldn't look. If the staff know I have access then it is obviously a cheap trick to get rid of me without inciting the rage of all my loyal followers (I'm still working on that one).

For fun, why don't you randomly select one person and give them viewing rights and see what they do? You can even ban them!

[Wolf Kanno]

Who says we haven't?

[Jiro]

I haven't noticed anyone recently banned, so either they're able to outwit Staff, or you're trying to fool me. Can't pull a swifty on me Kanno

For more than 10 minutes, not one staffer online. Infiltration and complete lookthrough using BoB's view of staff forum succeeded.


That's how simple it would be.

Hur hur, again you can't see us when we're invisible.

[Marshall Banana]

I was kind of bored with the staff forum after I saw it. =O

I guess I should have done some searching!

[Aerith's Knight]

Hur hur, again you can't see us when we're invisible.

Sneaky.

[Iceglow]

I'd do the two tabs thing on opera and set one tab to constantly refresh the index at a speed of 1 refresh a second, that would indefinitely show me as viewing the index whilst I could at my leisure browse the entire forum and even send Psy a message telling him what a naughty boy he is in the staff forums.

[Jiro]

Hur hur, again you can't see us when we're invisible.

Sneaky.

I noticed the lack of staff too. Never suspected they were hiding.

[Marshall Banana]

Don't "invisible" names stand out, actually? Aren't there asterisks or something next to them? =O

[Psychotic]

I'm invisible RIGHT NOW.

But if you looked at the forums index, you wouldn't think any of us were online!
