Daraknor,

Is it possible to lock a thread in this forum somewhat like the Elite section? That seems to be the way to go if you want to have a somewhat trouble free interchange of ideas among developers. Something similar to a roundtable or a beta test thread that requires some type of admission criteria. I think if there is a serious interest in the creative thinking that a group like this can have then it would not be good to take this off in the corner where "small group think" is nurtured even by people who have an expertise without input from others who may not have an expertise as such, but they do have a gererative idea the causes everyone to tilt their head and say, ah yes! In short out of sight (ie off the forum, private emails, sequestered discussions) may prove counter productive (out of mind-for everyone else). Keep the idea in front of people asking questions offering ideas, as I think you have suggested, but not immediate access to the "board room." I guess my concern for the development team/thread is the cloud will move with the development people if there is no filter for admission to the "special place." I think there needs to be sometype of door on the development board room. Enough.
