just curious, what about archival? I remember reading somewhere that archival is also one of the boards where newbies can't post/create a thread and I remember trying it too. did that change or do newbies only need a certain amount of activity in order to be able to post/create a thread on archival?
The word implies that board is for old things and the forum has a very short description for that board "old stuff".
Forum members use Archival for testing, old stuffs and are fine, they don't break forum rules but storing old stuffs is a main use case for Archival.
