Mod Parties

About once every 5 months, there is a mod party. These parties have quick moderation, and last for about 2 hours. A group of Moderators, sometimes even 6, will be there chatting with the users, however, one or more Moderators must moderate all the posts. Some of the others, depending on which mod, will post just like they are a normal user. Of the 3 - 4 mod parties so far, they have all been in the Message Boards Forum. They are very popular among the users on the LMBs.

Unofficial Mod Parties
Before the April 28 mod party, 2 or 3 or more moderators would often get together in the MB Cafe for an unofficial mod party, where there was fast moderation for a relatively short amount of time, and users could talk to or roleplay with the mods. However, they were brief and started all of a sudden, so usually a small number of people were at any specific get-together. This caused many people to get upset because they could not get involved in these get-togethers quickly enough, and these get-togethers quickly became unpopular among users. Afterwards, the number of unofficial mod parties quickly dropped, and they disappeared altogether after the latest mod party.

Subforums
At the latest Mod Party, on April 28, 2011, a Subforum called "MESSAGE BOARD EVENT AND PARTY FORUM" was created to house the 2 Mod Party topics. However, a sub-sub-forum was created called "MB PARTY FOOD AND STUFF" to house the other topic. The moderators announced that it was to speed up moderation. The subforums remained for some time, but no topic suggestions were to be accepted and the topics were locked for future events. However, the subforums were taken down and replaced with The Brick Boards and the MB Help subforums in mid-July 2011.
