I am glad this noble individual had the strength to share with us the truth. The Mods are indeed abusing their special forum access. Now the question is will anything be done about it?

And he also monitors people logging into and out of the forums to see when they are on.

You realize that it's not a mod power to see when people are online/offline, right?
Also, the second you said that JLo tell us anything I knew you were making things up. The last private post we got from the devs was on August 1st and that was an outline of who was being made mods and a discussion of what rules were needed.

So you are saying that the "secret forum" for alpha testers and others, has not had a single Jorb/Loftar post since August 1st?

I think he means the Mod forum. What kind of "Secret information" do you think he would get in the alpha tester forum?

By all means explain how Stax had access to what Jorb was patching next before anyone else knew then? He said to us that when he became a mod he got access to a new forum, one that had what loftar and jorb were working on or what was coming out soon. So either Stax was lying, which honestly I do not think he was or you are just covering it up. Either way again It is out there. How it is handled by Moo is up to him and none of my concern.

Information given to Alpha testers, but not the general population, is per definition "secret" to the general population.

I just don't see how this information would give a competitive advantage.

It did. Obviously, many of the people in the special forum would have been alpha testers.

Pretty sure Jorb or Loftar mentioned the boat thing in IRC, it was one of the most common things they got asked about. I knew about it before it was in and I didn't talk to anyone in Gallows until a few weeks after we could make them. You guys should log onto it more often for all the secret infos lol

Because you are either not dedicated or a noob, that's why you don't see it. Theorycrafting dedicated hardcore players can turn any information about the future to their advantage, even though the degree may vary. I am personally ok though with there being a such "secret" forum, since it is after all jorbtar's game and their house rules.
