So, you would think you've discovered every forum on SMW Central, with possible exception of staff forums. Guess what, you were wrong. You probably haven't discovered the only secret forum on SMW Central. If you read this tutorial, accessing this forum will very easy.
Be sure to be logged in - you can only access Fortress of Seclusion when you're logged in.
This step is very complex, so be sure to read it carefully. Enter any forum. If you don't know what "any" means, enter "SMW Central Production 2" forum. You should see screen like this.
Next, find address bar - it should mention "smwcentral.net" and it's usually outside webpage view. Click on it and replace part after &f= with 31337 like on this example. After that, press ENTER or RETURN.
Congratulations. You have found secret forum. Enjoy your time on this forum. If you want to get badge, make any post in it and get the badge using this magical link.

DUDE
Oops, sorry, I haven't noticed. Developing some other board system (ABXD, if you have to ask - it uses ?id= parameter like everywhere) can be annoying... Fixed.

Hmmm, thanks. I would've never gotten here without your tutorial. (Yes, I know I'm already in the FoS, I was making a joke)
But really, I got here when I saw it on someone's Recent Post.

I don't get this, I follow smkdan's tutorial step by stpe but all it does is log me out, is there something I'm doing wrong? What is this "Forums" you're talking about? smkdan didn't mention it.
Your user id must be 4 or some chain of 4's. Which sadly doesn't belong to neither of us and all those users, except for Riolu180, are inactive. A shame since it requires them all to be active for it to appear for them all.
Although I heard user 44444 might have access since it is said to be the key user for public access. But we won't have that user for quite some time. Guess we might never see that forum any time soon and we will never know who keeps spreading these silly rumors around. There's no such thing as a secret forum.
What if I'm looking for the Fortress of 4's? I tried replacing the part after ?id= with 4444, but it just gave me this:

The requested forum either does not exist or you don't have permission to view it.
Click here or wait to get redirected...
I also tried 4, 44, 444, and 44444. Same result. How do I get to the Fortress of 4's?
The forum 4 (Cool Staff Forum, am I right?), just like Fortress of Solitude (1337) doesn't exist anymore. As for 44, 444 and 4444, they don't exist... yet.
Or perhaps those forums do exist, but you don't have enough power to see those - that's very likely.

Forum 4 was repurposed for the Secret Santa event we had some time ago. Chester would relay all the Secret Santa PMs people sent him for Lucas to read.
