This is definitely true! Every message board that I have ever been a part of has eventually turned into a private group of friends verses the rest. Sometimes, I was part of the "private" group, other times not. It's kind of a distraction to new people and even long time members who are not lucky enough to be a part of the inside gang. Still, I don't think that is ever anyone's intentions when they offer a message board to the public, but often times it winds up that way.
