Veterans Section

[Bonzo]

Get rid of the proving grounds and bring back the veterans area.

It was proberly used more than the proving grounds and actually gave the newcomers to the forum something to try and achieve from good posts/threads.
Enough said.

The issue i have against this would be why would a forum try and segregate its members and take away topics/discussion away from the mainboards. Surely the goal for any successful forum is to be a busy, vibrant place where and can talk about things you want to and debate with nemours ppl. Having sub forums for only veteran members would mean MB taking away its better members to talk outside the mainboards and then potentially killing its self as nothing is being debated on the public boards, also its part of any good forum to have its veteran members who know the ins and outs of the place to help out the new guys so keeping veterans on the publics baords as much as possible is key "imo".

I dislike hidden forums with a passion.

[NeoKubrick]

Matchbox360 used to have a hidden veteran forum?

[KONSPIRACY]

There used to be a veterans area yes.

Discussed this with Bonzo before telling him that the veteran section was pretty pathetic because every time a user that Carocat didn't want in there achieved the correct amount of posts to gain access to the veteran section the post count was increased.
