Just like Finland is a part of Russia. 
As for the staff forum thread being funnier, without meaningful evidence, all we have is opinion.

Couple of problems with this: News Editors are mini-Staff Members at best, and Staff Members != Mods. If you are a moderator you are staff, but if you are staff you are not a mod

To be frank, most of the Hosted Site Mods are Americans as well, but with the exception of Velociryx (who's British, IIRC) and St Leo, they rarely show themselves outside 'their own' forums. Or at all, for that matter.
|
Well, St Leo is a "special" case IMO because, he is, "special". But I always thought Vel was American?

 You will never find out the truth of backstage Apolyton. But I can asure you that the dicussion that has been going on since somethime before the titles started to change is on of the best threads on Poly ever.
And the best is that there by definition can't be any spam in it

Yes, they have.
It wasn't really THAT funny, but since we don't do that kind of thing there very often, it just seemed funnier.

If say, a certain such thread would appear somewhere on the net, let's say censured of things that might cause a revolution against the great empire, lordship and dukedom that Apolyton has apparently become, I'm sure many of the people would be quite thankful.

Then that treatise by Ming, "On Picking my Nose," would be funnier then this thread.

And just in case anyone ever decides to change things back, here's the evidence for posterity
(Did you know it's damn impossible to find posts of Markos and Dan close together?)

We should have a forum, like the staff forum, except everyone can access it.
Oh wait, we have that. It's called the A/C forum

Rule number 2 for being a mod. It won't be decided by a public vote.
