If you could only be a member of one board at a time then you would have to wait x amount of time without posting so that you would lose your place and then be free to sign up to a different board.But switching wouldn’t necessarily have to be contingent on losing your place. For example, you could have your place held up to 4 weeks, have to wait 8 weeks before switching, and be able to post right up to 8 weeks and then switch...

> Why raise the limit?Sorry, maybe I wasn’t clear, I meant the limit on the number of people on that board. It would be to make room for someone more active without having to “kick out” anyone...
