Sorry, I should have elaborated. New members become part of that old guard as time progresses. As they gain an understanding and experience, they start to fill that role. I've seen it before on another site - I went from noob to a veteran after a while. As long as the staff presense is strong, we should cope. Maybe one day this site will no longer have AZ, bird, hydro and lissy. But new members should take up the ideals of the staff and begin to fill the void as experienced old members begin to move on.
