Why no Usergroup/Other Restriction for Big Boards Forum?

[kall]

We have the (somewhat slight) impediment to the Coders forum. We have to join a Usergroup.

Why is there a) no restriction for the Big Boards forum and b) No actual description of what a Big Board is?

ie: "Does your forum have over 100 000 posts? Join the Big Board Discussion".. or something.

Because we want all forum owners to learn about optimisation techniques and find out what is in store for them if their forums get popular. :) But it's no big deal to add another usergroup in the end.

also because it's not easy to really classify a big board, a whiole thread in that forum is about that topic ;)
