    I really like the idea of an "invite-only" and possibly "voted-in" area.

    I would like to be able to trust the character of each member. Meet and greets are the best way to get to know people and are much safer than just judging someone by their post count. Any bozo could BS a hundred posts about having common interests, but do you REALLY know who that person is? Could you trust them? Would you want to share your more personal information with them?

    Having a private sub-forum would easily limit public access to the perceived tin-foiliness... But in all honesty, it doesn't have to be like that at all. I just want to be able to meet some quality people to discuss disaster prepping and survival. Its not like we're planning a coup or anything!

    As you should be. This should be a fairly close-nit group.

    Sucks for me lol I just found out about these forums, but if you are starting a group like that you have every right to be picky and cautious.

    Rival14 on Arfcom. Arguing on Internet forums is like the special olympics. Even if you win, you're still retarded. Yellow, Condition 1 is my style.

    Absolutely.

    Easy answer; start a separate sub forum for "noobs" to band together, into a second group. The lifers here already have their friends, their cliques. It leaves the true hearted noobs looking for camaraderie out in the cold. No need for that. Plenty of noobs here to group up and do their own thing, and not have to make the lifers fret about them.

    Things are looking dismal out there, Obama may very well win a second term, and keep deficit spending us towards financial collapse. No time for posting a 1000 times and spending two years here waiting to wedge your way into the lifer's trust. Split off, everyone will be happy.
