Do we need a new forum? Well, maybe, but not the one you are suggesting.
Guy gets his first tractor, a Farmall H. In his excitement, he starts looking on the internet, and comes up with this forum, and posts his first question, "What oil should I put in the transmission and rear end?" Yes, the question has been answered a hundred times, but not for him. He had enough of a challenge just posting his question, and doesn't know the archives from a cheese sandwich. I, for one, appreciate those who recognize this, and post a straight-up answer to his question, with no attitude. How hard is to type "Throw some 90 weight into it, it'll be fine."
If everyone had come on to this forum at the same time, with the same level of experience, I could see some validity to your idea. But for this thing to continue, we have to keep welcoming new people, and recognizing the wide diversity in basic knowledge on the board. Us old guys keep drifting off or dying, and we need new folks. Insulting their questions is not the way to accomplish it.
A better idea for a new forum would be "Guys who know pretty much everything, and have no patience for newbys". You or B&D could moderate it. It would be a beautiful thing.
