I have two questions for mostly the admis and moderators:

1. What's the difference between 'Sending a Private Message' and 'Using Private Messaging system'?

2. I have seen at the 'Who's online' page, that a Guest is replying to a post. How can it be?

Probably I could figure them out, just correct me if it is not there:

1. Using Private Messaging system is when I am reading my Private Messages, and Sending a PM is when I am writing:

2. That Guest is a registered one, only he checked the 'hidden' flag at his profile.

But there is one more thing:

Today, I could access to the Internal Forum of a forum, I don't know which that was already. I haven't touched anything there, I just find it strange that how could it be.

I think you're right.

EDIT: As for the Internal Access. I'm pretty sure you can access any of them if you know what to type in the address bar. Just don't spoil the project's surprises for yourself.

No, they still require a proper login that they recognize. It's just that the system's taken care of basically at the same rate as the main page, and even if it weren't there are enough people here that the admins won't notice the holes until they're pointed out.

Um, the internal is most likely OTT's. If you read the main forum, you'd know why.

If it's not OTT's, then there are permission issues with your account, unless you are working for somene that we and yourself don't know of.

PM me with the details, will you? We've been having this kind of problem off and on for ages.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

No. A Guest is an unregistered user. And although they'll have gotten a "You need to register to post" message, it still counts as replying to a post.

Hidden people don't show up at all (bar a few exceptions).

If HAL and SHODAN were in a chess match against each other, who would win?

Neither. Hal would just sit there thinking "this is a really boring, if well-directed film", and Shodan'd be playing with some green gunky stuff in the Biolabs, thus being far too busy to play chess.

:nervous:

Honestly said it reached me unexpected that I received a Star Wars avatar. But you have it, too!
