Time on board seems like the most simple way to figure it. And, the cut-off would probably be arbitrary, I would define old timers as folks here, and participating a least a little, for a year or more.
I've been on since May 2000, before PB was split into two boards. When I look at the posts from that time period, those posters would definitely be oldtimers to me.
I don't think the old timers would post exclusively to a board for old timers. I think it would be more of a connection for 'family' from times past. These folks would know each others histories a bit better than most and what some of us have been through without a lot of background details.
As always, there will be pros and cons. No matter what is done, some people will be offended.
Maybe we should have a newbies board and an intermediates board, to cover all the bases. And maybe a lurkers board--if anyone would ever post there. 8-)
