They are going to implement a strict age restriction of 16 AND have an IQ test (must score 85 or higher) to sign up for the new forums. They figure it will cut down on the childish posts and they are OK with 75% of OT not making the cut. They figure the other forums except for P&N (45%) will ony lose 3% of the posters.
Substance over quantity? That's bullshit.

Off hand, I'd say you fall in to the 75% category.

of course. I am very average.

I am over 16 and my IQ is around 111... The issue is I am very unlucky so I am sure I will be culled.
 
Will members be allowed to pool their IQ scores to reach the 85 cutoff, then share a single account?

Are you sure you don't have that backwards? I would have guessed those numbers were upper limits rather than lower limits.

We can use the various threads that showed people's stupidity to disqualified the obvious ones. "Will it Take Off?" being the first that comes to mind.
