I think asking everyone is a good idea and that while they may have some good ideas, they are also not going to be so quick to mention changing what they like but may be driving newbies off.
But I feel the truest answer is that this is the nature of the internet, the people who've stayed found themselves comfortable and at home..... if we change too much to bring in new blood, we may find we lose more than we gain.

Okay, so I've been here less than a year. When I first joined I felt completely invisible. If I posted on a thread, people would talk around my post and to one another but never respond to what I said. Being ever tenacious, I stuck it out.
It has only been in the last 2 months or so, and after starting what I consider some pretty lively thread discussions, that I've seen a thaw in the initial chill. I am not part of the "gang" here, but I like this place, its interesting. I don't know what the "old days" were like, but it really reminds me of middle age people going on about how great the 60's were. Can we live in the now?
For what its worth, that is my 2 cents.
