Well, for those of us who joined and experencied the site while the URL was still h2g2.com and pre-Rupert?

At the moment the rules are, you have to have joined within the first month. I'm considering changing them, but I plan to automate the listing first, a combination of the newusers page and the last posted feature on PSs should make it fairly easy to find active, old researchers.

I'll let you know if/when the rules change.

Maybe the not-so-OAP among the researchers could come up with an abbreviation of our own?

Hmmmm....
AOAP (Almost OAP)?
SOAP (Semi OAP)?

*deep in thought*

Hmmm... yes, I like that... MAP

Or maybe something beginning with 'ante Rupert'? AR... ah! Researcher! That would make ARR smiley - pirate

...but then, of course, that would include OAPs as well as MAPs...

I have no problem with a combined group as well. We could have an ARR homepage linking to the OAP and MAP pages.
