That would be a difference, yes, but still each of them could start small and then grow...

> First-come-first-served is (to me) the same as saying that my house is only so large, so my kids can visit but the grandkids or their kids can't come over. Even if one of my kids is temporarily out of town - because they will come back.

OK, your house is in fact only so large, right?

We could have going out of town open up a spot... And you could go out if you wanted to have a larger get-together?

> But to the coziness question? How can anyone feel cozy if there is someone that wants to join but they just-don't-fit-so-tough-luck-even-though-everyone-likes-you?

It's not just tough luck, they could join another cozy room.

Is there anxiety is that some smaller boards would be "better" than others? That one might miss out? Or feel guilty if it their board were one of them?

> I wouldn't want to get cozy with anyone that could.

Sorry, but please be sensitive to the feelings of others and don't post anything that could lead them to feel accused or put down, thanks.

> How about a separate (expandable) room for those that think there should be no walls.

How would that be different from Social?
