on this old board i used to go to and still come by every once in a while, has always had a "restricted area" and you had to have a certain post count to get into, and then there was another forum only for power members (mods,admins, VIP members and board junkies) which was even more secluded (for lack of a better word) i was looking at the "member benefits" thing and the benefits didnt really seem that enticing to me
