Wouldn't content in this context be synonymous with quality? Perhaps you meant quantity. I did.

To disscuss things that happened a while a go without N00bettas interrupting with "Whoz Penynroyale???//" and they are annoying. If annoying questions are chief among your worries, you *could* just politely answer the queries. And if you don't want to post the answer for fear of slowing down the discussion, try a PM. I've done that. If someone's typing irks you, two words: constructive criticism. How would the board be kept hidden from newbies? Was it a part of 667, there would logically be a link on the homepage(like the links to password-protected restricted sections).

but they won't know the password. Or we could give a disgiused name like "Layout Control"

Funny that...just after YOU joined I voted yes, but just because I wanted to even it out more really. I think it's a good idea, but the newbies could get angry and start a war... ooh...I'm so glad I clicked yes now. War Against Newbies!

*ahem*
THis sounds like a failed attempt to revive the olden-days. Of course, that's what it is. BUt I find it pathetic. N00os aren't bugging me. Must everyone elt the n00bs get to them??
I don't care if some really cool member doens't knwo who Chris is/was. Not their fault if it was before their time. And if you recall your past, I'ms ure each and every one of you used to type bad. I did...
I say we have a one-month-long gathering in a hidden section where we test your idea. We make it sort of a month-long party, where we remmenisce(sp) and drink profusely. ( or watch BSam drink profusely, for sake of good ole days).
After the month is up, we leave it and see how the rest of the thread is. If alot of threads have been made, if n00bs overran any slight authrity that may have been present.. If they're having their own party, ( N00bFest! XD ).... Jsut an idea, please consider it...

Why would newbies want to start a war unless you GIVE THEM a reason to start a war? I know that when I join forums, my intent isn't to go and start holocausts on them. It's like you're actively trying to screw them over so nobody except the ones who are already here can appreciate 667. And since a lot of people who are in favor of this are ALSO the ones who are convinced that we'll be OMG really cool member RUSHED during the Christmas season this year, isn't that an exercise in futility? Seriously, I don't understand why you guys are being mean to them. Be mean to the stupid users who deserve it, but all you're doing is getting mad at people who signed up now instead of earlier on, as if nobody who wasn't in the series/community from day one matters.

Hey Luna-I do not have a huge problem with n00bs...sure, they should use the ''search' tool more, but I bet no one else does either. The point is, they don't know how much we've figured out-they're trying to be helpful, that's all. I'm just saying that they might get angry that they can't get in, and as someone said earlier, start making pointless posts so they have enough or whatever. I still think it's generally quite a nice idea, but we need to make sure that people who don't get in don't think they're really stupid and think there's no point of being on the website, or to take too much offence.
