@Science_Man_88: And how would I get that authorization? I've been wanting access for so long I could have factored a 170 digit number (GNFS) by now.

Consider who the red-colored users of this forum are, and ask yourself what you personally offer those people in knowledge or usefulness. If only red people were having a private conversation, what could you contribute to it?

Ask not what your forum can do for you, ask what you can do for your forum.

p.s. Factoring a GNFS-170 takes less than 3 months on a single home machine. That's not very long to wait!

Ok, you want seriously. Let's talk seriously.

Do you think you can simply ask to get you a firefighter's uniform and no less, for free, ...just because you like how it looks, right? Do you realize that if you are wearing firefighter's uniform you need to put out fires? Sometimes with serious harm to yourself? But no, as far as I understand your marvelous claim - you just need to be a supermod (and for free) and do nothing in return?

I'll spell it out for you - it is a firefighter's room. There are some dirty firehoses in it, some access to the back panels of the building, some crawl space, some buckets and snake handling tongues and other bric-a-brac.

Another vocation that you may consider is lion taming, see the instruction here:

Sorry for the CAPS. I just want to know how to get in without having to pay Ay94 dollars, and you aren't giving me a proper answer to my question.
Catherwood: You can't get there from here.
Nick: But I'm looking for the same old place.
Catherwood: Oh! You mean the old Same place. It's right out back. Here's the key.

The ultra-simple answer is that one has to be a moderator oops, SUPERMOD to get there. This is a choice made by the forum owner, Xyzzy, aka Mike.

BTW, the repeated references to money in this context reflect a basic misunderstanding. The price of admission is not counted in dollars, but in hours of work as a moderator, in addition to demonstrating the qualifications for moderatorhood.

Aww, don't spoil it. I wanted to see Stargate38 donate the Rs36.

Can't you at least give me READ-ONLY access to that section, so I can't post there, but I could still read it? I don't want to be a mod, and I don't think I would ever qualify to be one. I still want to be unblocked from it, though, because it bothers me to be kept from a forum section. There are a few sites I know of that allow ordinary members to access the mod section in read-only mode.

@retina: I didn't mean 36 Indian Rupees. I meant R*361+S (27*36+28)=$1000. It's base-36 (hexatrigesimal).

I do see that there's another private forum: "Anna Kournikova". Is that an empty section to confuse me even more, or an alternate link to the DH section?
