Should CDIH Be A Public Board?

[fbd]

yes, because the Doors board people were such a huge success

i've noticed something about the people here(and at oa.com before)...we are incredibly clanish. every time that theres been an infulx of new people(post bang party, after syndication, when we let rf people here, doors board), few if any of them have lasted. we aren't fans of new stuff here, or new blood. the status quo is what has been strived to be maintained, and any time a number of people have attempted to change what that is, we respond negatively. somebody could be loved for their posting style at one place, but here, we try to tar and feather them.

unfortunately, we also drive our own away. the people who we do love, slowly leave. sean, seph, arpi, maynard, ikea, amy, etc. used to be fixtures here, but now have been gone for months. in about two months, a few others will leave, and eventually, it'll be three people posting here

we've tried to replace the lost people, but the transfusions of new blood are rejected every time. open up the board to membership, but don't expect many new people to come, and those that do probably won't stick around long enough to help the board before we drive them away
