As others will surely point out as well, the freeboards and the VIP boards are very different places. I do not agree that they need to be merged.

The ovbious difference is that VIP is a restricted-access board, available only to paying members. DB Admin has suggested that the membership fees from VIP members goes a long way to financially supporting the Freeboard.

And really, jbnugget, if you are active on both boards you have surely noticed the difference by now?
