View source for Official Message Board

The official Muse forum is hosted on a subdomain of the official website. The forum uses vBulletin software and is hosted on Apache 1.3.*.

The name of the server on which the board runs is Muriel, named after Chandler Muriel Bing from the US sitcom Friends, due to [[Matt]]'s son being called Bingham. The server replaced Doris, a name chosen in a fan poll after the previous server, Bertha, crashed. Doris retained the original hard drives from Bertha.

===Moderation===
The board is moderated via a points based infraction system. Once a member commits an infraction by breaking the board rules or otherwise, a moderator can issue an infraction or a warning. An infraction carries a number of points and both infractions and warnings have expiration dates, all depending on the severity of the infraction. Accumulating 4 points or more results in a temporary ban. Some infractions carry over 4 points and will instantly result in a ban. 

Permanent bans can be issued after multiple temporary bans or if the account is owned by a user who already has an account.

===Holiday media===
The forum sometimes hosts either media or features during holiday seasons, for example in Christmas 2004, videos of the Earl's Court concerts were hosted.

For Christmas 2007, [[Advent calendar 2007|an advent calender]] was hosted which included in-jokes from the forum's community as well as references to well known members. The door for the 25th of December linked to a video of Fury from the 2007 Australian tour.

===Development===
On the 21st May, A new subforum was added to the 'News' forum, entitled 'Muse need you..'[http://board.muse.mu/forumdisplay.php?f=40], containing several polls ranging from topics such as social networking, to release formats, HD media and communcication between the band and the community.<ref name="mubsf">

}}</ref> Thus Far, the polls have spawned [[musewire]], an account on social networking site [http://www.twitter.com 'Twitter'], which will be used to give regular updates on the band.

A subforum entitled "The Resistance" was created for discussing the new album seperate from "Songs and Releases" forum on the 3<sup>rd</sup> July 2009. This forum was merged with the parent forum in January 2010. Another subforum called "Wembley 2010" was made on 7<sup>th</sup> September 2010 in order to accommodate a large increase in new threads regarding the upcoming stadium gigs. This was merged with the main Gigs and Tours again on the 26<sup>th</sup> September.
