Since I got some answers last time I posted an unusual question about Muppet Central here's another for the moderators: do you have any "hidden" forums for moderator-only discussion threads, for things like keeping up-to-date with what's going on with the site. I'm curious mainly because I am...

Does anyone know anything about / have / know where to get this? Did it ever come out on video? I know it exists, but I've never seen it. Puppeteers of America has it in their reference library under the heading Dinosaurs, Making of Baby. Apparently it has interviews with Kevin Clash and...

This is a neat, important question I have been wondering about - it's probably been addressed in the past - but I was wondering how big MuppetCentral is (i.e. how much space does it take up on it's server?). What is the cost of running it monthly/annually and who pays for it? (please tell me...

I'm trying to locate a puppeteer/filmmaker who did a short film a year or two ago about a guy in prison who befriends a bird. It was on the web a year or so ago but now I can't find it. Does this sound familiar to anyone? Maybe a UK Muppet/puppet fan can help.....

This is old news...we've heard about Muppet Haunted House for years, but did anyone know it was in active development as little as a year ago? According to fox.com the creators of Greg the Bunny were working on the script last year. Has anyone heard anything since then?

Has anybody read "Jim Henson: Young Puppeteer" by Leslie Grouse? I had heard about it years ago when it came out but finally picked up a copy last week at the library.

I was wondering what software the MuppetCentral Forum is run on and/or who provides the service. I've seen this style interface on other websites and it seems to work nicely. We need to add a forum to a website that's being developed for my step-son's school and I was hoping to go with something...
