Tyler Durden...he lives on Paper Street. Paper Street, is a cartographer's tool on maps to signify a street that doesn't exist anywhere except on a map, meaning an imaginary street. In other words Tyler, Mayhem, Fight Club. 1st rule of Fight Club is...

and...you are still alive to talk about it? Did you have to go through a series of Mason like tests before being able to see the tyler? Is he indeed sometimes a mid-twenties kid who goes out drinking with his friends and forgets to change the banner?

I know Tyler from back in his "pick me a winner" days when he was trying desperately to become the Nose Picking Champion of Florida. He never could get up there.

ok..the truth is tyler is actually an advanced algorithm, computer program...
simulating a typical, young webmaster persona. (notice the program likes beautiful young women)

Well.....if you must know:

Tyler doesn't actually exist. And.....neither do the mods. We are all cyber programs designed by a higher computer program with a superior intelligence planted here under the guidance of the military by a future earth. Our human counterparts do not really know we exist, only a title.

Our cover function is to live in the guise of keeping the peace on Model Mayhem, our brainchild, whilst we plan away the destruction of all human kind.

Now that you know this, you will all be terminated.

Tyler is two people.

The Emperor Darth Sidious and Jerry Sienfeld.

Sorry Tyler....I had to tell them your secret.

Now can I be the Soup Nazi and join the darkside?

Why does this remind me of the Terminator Trilogy?
Really makes you think.


At first I thought Tyler was the Brain and the moderators were all different parts of pinky.
And every night what do they do......??

All together now!!

Dawn - I've been onto you "cyber programs" for quite some time now. You're playing perfectly into my plans for world domination. Once you take over the computer networks and high definition TVs your work will be done and I will release my super virus of ultimate deletion to wipe your little avatars and daemons (I love that word) off the networks. And because I created the future world you speak of, its no wonder I can delete you all with the mere press of a key! Again, I say onto you: Muhahahahaaaaaa!

Tyler is the dude (in that old classic movie) who is spinning the wheels and pushing the buttons behind that curtain... scaring poor Tinman, Scarecrow, Cowardly Lion and Dorothy to death.  Toto has yet to grab the curtain... wink
