I would be wary about the relationship between TFP and AFP, but for a different reason. Namely that it would tamper with the "purity" of the experiment. People would act in a different way, because they already know the people involved. For one thing, they might have an emotional reaction towards them one way or the other. For another, people are likely to act differently knowing that they are going to return to the TFP and will interact further there.
So, if for instance the AFP was sucessful, how would we tell the difference between:
1. Look at this sucessful forum! See what can be achieved with an anarchy model!
vs
2. Look at this sucessful forum! Notice how the strong respectful relationships forged in the TFP have survived under the pressure of an onslaught of anarchy!
