Gee, Dr. Bob. Let's think about that.
The great thing about the 2000 board is that the people that can post there all have a long history together.
But that's not something that can be recreated, as nice as that might sound.
Even then, there was not a finite number of people that could join. It was just the way things developed that it started small and then grew.
First-come-first-served is (to me) the same as saying that my house is only so large, so my kids can visit but the grandkids or their kids can't come over. Even if one of my kids is temporarily out of town - because they will come back.
But to the coziness question? How can anyone feel cozy if there is someone that wants to join but they just-don't-fit-so-tough-luck-even-though-everyone-likes-you?
I know I couldn't. And I wouldn't want to get cozy with anyone that could.
