You know, Dr. Bob, I really just don't know how much of an appetite there really would be for small, limited participation/membership boards. I have said it before, and perhaps I am talking out of the wrong side of my anatomy, but I think that those who are going to "join in" will do so, but creating a cozier and perhaps a less intimating atmosphere won't necessarily persuade others to be more active. The 2000 board serves a unique purpose, and is a nice forum for the babble "pioneers" if you will. But, I don't feel slighted or shut out because I can't post there.
If the small boards do become a reality, I personally think that establishing topics for discussion or specific themes (more narrow than just "Social" or "Relationships") would make the concept a bit more palatable. Now, I don't want to be presumptious, but, Dr. Bob, I don't think you have completely made up your mind about the utility of small boards and whether it is truly in the best interest of the babble community to establish these forums. But, I am not a mind-reader, so I will leave it to you and others to continue the discussion.
Just my two cents.
