I think Kate's comment above is very perceptive. And although it is off topic, sometimes threads meander into interesting side territories.
I agree that newbies are important to keep the forum fresh. Obviously we all started as newbies and were grateful for all information received. In the past year or two, we exchanged recommendations, discussed issues, made many friends. And some have drifted away, some continue to post.
And while newbies are very important, it is true that senior members may get bored and leave TOTV if the same topics keep being rehashed. For instance, "What is a bond" is an extremely interesting thread for a new members, but very boring for a senior member. And I totally understand the post by Russ Boston about Leisureville.
I don't know that answer to this issue, but I sure think it deserves some discussion.
