The forum doesn't seem too bad at the moment; I'll admit older members do seem to get more status and respect from other members than newer members however a way to look on this is that the member must prove themselves before they gain everyone is respect.
I don't like to insult newer members; if they post incorrect facts\advice, there's no need to flame them, just correct them and sure enough they will turn into active, helpful, and great members.

The big problem I find is that some members don't actually care about helping newer ones, they care too much about rushing in to help people without actually laying out their posts, which is very hard for less computer talented people to understand. They get so wound up in trying to look like a good helper that they post stuff that isn't properly researched and stuff less computer talented people won't be able to follow.
