oldfarts only

This forum was created after complains, that people who have luck of basic knowledge interrupt some topics.
Well new members can read this one, but can't post. At least 2 years membership is required to contribute in this forum.
Please enjoy and give me some input here, if that is what you want.

Great idea

This looks like it might be a good idea Slatey. Can I ask who thought of doing it?

So what are you going to call this forum?

APS veterans ?

APS Royalty ?

Ye Olde Wind Breakers ?

... and what are the range of topics that can be discussed?

I would actually like to see a herp help forum that can only be posted to by experienced herpers. So much of what gets posted as help seems to be what people think is a good idea and not based on experience.

This forum is called Veteran's Corner
You can discuss here posts if you don't like people with out APS experience to comment.
You will find out that usually people who are members of this site for 2 years or more do have at least basic knowledge about our hobby. That brings discussions to different level.

Herp help forum have to be accessible to new members. Otherwise they can't ask questions.

If you are looking for herp help on higher level, this forum would be fine to post to, and ask for help.

What about some sort of a herp quiz to make sure that you still don't get those people that have no real experience but have been a member here for more than 2 years? This would also help the experienced herper that has only just joined access this room without the 2 year waiting period.

The idea has merits but unfortunately anyone can pick up a book and write the answers directly out of their herp book. Unfortunately no way of policing such a thing. Unless they all sit the test in Slatey's loungeroom
