MF Central (formally The Mobius Forum (General / Sonic))
Location: 1st forum
Purpose: Does MoFo really have a purpose? Well yeah, ALL MATURE topics are welcome here as well as expressing your insane self as long as it isn't considered spam. A lot of discussion, crazy ideas, crazy people, and just purely insane stuff is welcome here. This is also the forum for introducing yourself (but beware, people like to say hi by eating newbies :P). Most forumers start here first to kind of get a general feel for the message board, but don't worry this is the main forum and is usually one of the first places where stuff takes place. Also, please don't complain about the layout or the lag time. The layout for the MoFo is like that so topics will branch and people who visit a lot can see what's posted without having to load an entire thread. This forum is all about getting to know each other, keeping a great balance of deep topics and comedy, and making "sub-topics" by branching into related subjects when replying.


MoFo 2
Location: MF Off Topic Center
Purpose: Sometimes topics get way to big to handle in The Mobius Forum causing the lag time to go up to hight.
