these forums are user helping other users like yourself, it's sort of going to a

physical apple store and asking other customers their advice or help

same with developer forums just for people who write new software for apples platforms

not sure what corporate members is though

I'm not sure where to start.

Can you reword your question for clarification and tell us if this is for a school project? It's very hard to comprehend as is.

Have you read the Terms of Use you agreed to follow when you signed up here? I suspect not, as much of what you ask falls into the prohibited subject category in Section B.1. See:

Apple Support Community Terms of Use

First, it appears you are asking other end users about the inside workings at Apple. We do not know about intenal matters like staffing, server locations (good luck with that!) and other topics Apple keeps very secret.

What we know:

— These forums—Apple Support Communities (ASC)— consist of end users volunteering to help other end users with Apple consumer products and services. Apple Support does not answer here.

— The only Apple employees supporting ASC are a small moderation team. They break up fights and keep the forum's virtual wheels turning, so to speak. They do not respond in open forums, but may respond to emails regarding forum operations. That address is in the Terms of Use document

—Apple recently moved developers to a separate forum where you must have paid Apple to be a registered developer to participate. No one here know why.

— To find forum topic areas for products and servcies, bookmark this site map:

What no one here knows:

— Everything else you asked
