Ok. I shall have a go at answering your question. If anyone else has anything to add - then please pipe up, ok?
The current boards require registration to post and the posts are googleable.
There has been some discussion about setting up small boards where a limited number of posters can sign up to them. It will be on a first come first served basis. The notion is that there are an awful lot of Babblers and some of the boards can seem a little overwhelming. Some posters would feel more comfortable posting to a board where there aren't so very many different posters.
There has been some discussion around whether it would be better if these small boards were publicly viewable (even though only members can post to them) or whether it would be better to not have them viewable to non-members. The usual civility rules would apply.
I just think it would feel safer for the posters if their posts were only viewable to members. It would also stop people reading and attempting to post and then finding out they are unable to post to the board.
