: the Other White Board.
: And, if at all possible, they should make the new Riders board open for posting only to the true long-time posters.
The Riders board was nice during its heyday, but there was definitely a trace of elitism running through it (yes, just a trace. Shut up.), and it eventually got overrun with assholes and people who thought they were "breaking down oppression" or somesuch (I dunno; I was away for that summer) by posting the link to it on the main board. It ended up being more trouble than it was worth. If people with a similar interests and similar mindsets want to hang out on a webboard, they can start up their own.
I just don't think Kevin should have to pay for a board that he doesn't even frequent, and that most of the time, doesn't even have anything to do with anything VA, other than the fact that most of its residents are VA fans. Especially given his recent "carte blanche" for off-topic chat.
