I am also a member of a band forum and they handled this situation very well. There was a kind of probation period of 1-4 months. When you first join and even before joining you can see all the threads relating to the forum in this case Diablo. Then after the probation period there was a new section reveled call Interact. In these interact threads was a place where the older members could post to each other with out being bombarded by new people. It allowed more of a trickle of new members in to the interact because most people didn't stick around that long. This also cut down on the Aliases (people that got band from the forum) from disrupting threads of the more loyal and "old timers" of the community. I now I am one of the new members that you are talking about. But I still understand where you are coming from. I wouldn’t want my forum overrun by new F***ers ether.
