redshoe, this discussion about having a board invite only has been going on for quite a while on all boards... AWI was the best place to be around a year, or a year and a half ago... then the good guys that learnt together and got bigger started helping people out, making other people big, and then we got swept away by newbies... now, mostly all the good 'Ol people of AWI are gone... now the young blood is there, it's still OK, but not as it was before...
can't put it invite only, misses the purpose of an online board , that IS the problem...
a board is a place to learn about new stuff, news, and just chat about stuff... but with it being invite only, it makes it hard
but if lens' got the balls to do it, FINE, I am up to try it, and I'd even volunteer for mod if he wants to

getting tired of that sort of shit as well LOL :-D
