Lack of new people is killing the backroom and the entire forum

I'd love some brainwashing, but i fear for some of us no less than lobotomy is needed to be interested.

Very true, but also part of the perceived attitude here no? A comment like that implies that TW these days is targeted at the drooling fanboy hordes and that some of us are now simply too "elite" for it. True in my opinion and doubtless quite a few of the staff agree with me as well, but to continue to be a TW fansite that's surely not the type of attitude that's needed here? Regardless of the criticism though, what's needed first and foremost is the end to the junior member system. I can see it doing no harm to remove this first and take it from there. Senior Members should go as well - no need for it. I am happy to add my name to a list of those willing to step down from senior membership.
