And look how well visited that forum is
Of course it shouldn't. I'm always a 'guest' until there's something to say.
I agree.
maybe we could make more use of the Bored board if we wan't to keep stuff private, but even then nothing is really "private" posted on the internet.
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

Damn you're right! Bernardi will be happy to have you. Not sure about your chances of replacing Ludlum though.

That was, needless to say, spoken from a place of total ignorance about the issue, although I'm glad I at least added the caveat that (at age 15) I might not know what I was talking about!

I know David was quite conservative in his wiser youth and Nick's has a handy search function

Geez, I guess I rarely post.
I may well be one of those who just views and moves on. Not too welcoming suggesting that what has always been an open forum should perhaps become a closed shop. That sort of notion makes me want to post even less as I feel I'm simply intruding.

Point taken. Social media killed the Bored board no doubt. Look at the historic content that's now on Facebook where you get an instant response and dopamine hit.
If anything, I'd swap your premise and keep the lighter stuff in the VPT with the heavier stuff in the members bar but you're right about killing the VPT trying to resuscitate the Bored board.
