> What would be the purpose of a board for oldtimers? Wouldn't "we" be perceived even more as a clique? How would you define an oldtimer?
Good questions... The main purpose, from my end, would be to provide some sort of perk or reward for participating (so the definition would probably be number of messages posted or something like that). What the oldtimers would use it for, I don't know, it would be up to them. Would it be something you'd be interested in? Maybe I need to think this through more -- or maybe it would just be a matter of seeing what happened.
Yes, whenever some people have something that others don't, there's the risk of feelings of envy, resentment, etc., and that would need to be weighed against the potential benefits.
