Some of you already know that when you sign up to this forum you’ll get a private message by @discobot.

That message represents a door to an interactive tutorial that will teach you how to do stuff here, but few people have noticed that there is **a second level** of this game/tutorial with Discobot, but you have to realize **how to access to it**.

If you have a few minutes to spare, consider it some sort of textual adventure game and try to discover what you have to do to finish the interactive journey and earn a few forum badges as a completely superfluous bonus!

When you want, just head to the list of your **private** messages and search for Discobot’s message. It was fun for me. 🙂

(feel free to ignore Discobot’s message below)

Hi! To find out what I can do, say `@discobot display help`.

Anyway, while I appreciate the original scene, I’ll always prefer the Blazing Saddles parody.

I was actually very close to posting [that other parody](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gx6TBrfCW54).  
(there is also one in Monkey Island, but that was too hard to find).

The record is in fact from the German TV show [“Disco”](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disco_(TV_series)). The host was [Ilja Richter](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ilja_Richter) who made a lot of bad jokes in each episode. So this would be another reason to hate discos. 😜

Nothing is better as the original: 🙂

But I really wonder how someone can dance to these beats. Without drugs or alcohol. Or an electric eel in his underpants…

Badges? Where we’re going, we don’t need stinkin’ badges!

That could have been a perfect line for Back To The Future 3!
