RationalWiki Forums

From Rationalwikiwki

The RationalWiki forums were created in 1788, in order to provide a place of discourse without the accursed edit conflicts.

There are a number of open areas where things which may or may not be relevent to the Wiki are discussed. There may also be one or more secret areas.

Possible secret areas

Cabal - initially a secret hangout for the Cabal, this board was quickly sniffed out by TK, leading to the creation of ...

Cabal 2 - this was set up by Linus, as a cunning expedient to make TK think that he had penetrated to the inner sanctum. It was populated by cut and pastes from the "real" forum.

That said, he has led people to believe that he has breached its security at least once: by means of Cracker giving him his password, so that "out of fairness" TK would see that Trent and AmesG's assurances they were working on other Cabal members to admit him were false. Using information gained there, TK supposedly created rationalwiki.info. It is now simply Cabal, and its members try to avoid discussing policy there, but are never very successful in doing so.

Subversion - yet another hidden section of the RationalWiki Forums set up by RW Bureaucrat Linus for the not-so-subtle sockpuppet of TK whence to plan nefarious goals. Some of the original members there included Wikinterpreter and GodlessLiberal and AmesG. It is possible that this is also the group known as the Ferret overlords.

Cabal 3.14 - ultra secret forum accessible only by tmtoulouse and his sock puppet where they argue with each other all day.
