I predicted that this very thing would happen - that with the formation of the new *restricted* (exclusionary is my choice of word) boards, that this would fractionate (word?) - meaning divide up, segregate, separate and in effect *weaken* the whole website set-up.
I predicted that what was once a cohesive, supportive, solid community would be divided up and lose its focus. This is precisely what has happened imho.
As I see it, PB and PSB have both been compromised by the new set up - there is less posting at these sites, especially by old timers, who have valuable info and insights that are now being missed. This is not to say that newbies don't have a lot to contribute, they sure do, but the presence of old timers at PB and PSB has diminished, and it would appear that this is due to their migration to their own *private* boards. I so strongly agree with Jay.
