I agree that a page of links is probably more apropriate than a whole new board. However, it would be nice to be able to post something positive about another user, and I don't think this would be possible with a page of links. For example it would be nice to give "SoAndSo" some fame and post a message that everyone would see that might say something like "SoAndSo is so persistent! I'm so glad things worked out for him!" :) Not that this couldn't be posted to the Social board, but it just wouldn't have the same effect as if there were a place for this kind of thing and it were posted there. I also think PB Tips is so far removed... it doesn't feel like part of PB to me. I need the puke yellow background to feel at home :-) and so, I think things like this should be hosted here. Anyway, this was just an idea I thought I'd throw out there in case it inspires anything.
Jon
