Yeah, I think this idea would pretty much suck. You could probably just about count the number of posts I've made here and on the old board combined on two hands, but that neither makes me a newbie or a menace. I've put in hundreds (maybe thousands...sheesh) of hours of Best Show listening and I like seeing the FOTs interact, even if I'm usually on the sidelines.
I second the colored lights. And also suggest that we include Minesweeper 2000 and make the board Pentium. It's time.
