I've noticed an influx of new users and was wondering if it was perhaps about time a user group hidden forum section was setup for trusted/veteran members of the forum. It could be used for relevant discussions regarding specific forum members when needed without their knowing. I'm sure some forum veterans would also appreciate a secure area to share sources with other members trusted not to abuse that information which would aid greatly in collaborating to acquire more/better high quality content.
This also makes me think of moderators, we could use some (more?) around the forums to help keep things the way they need to be.

1-2-3 NOT IT!
I agree you might want a few more moderators, but I don't think you need a special subsection for veteran members.

In a past life, I was involved with forums that had super secret sections for special members. Even though I was in them, I would advise against doing that here.

What is the criteria for quote “Veteran” members? I joined in 2014. I’ve been here for 6 years and am classified as a senior member. I think the logic in a separate section only open to a select few members is flawed. It will create a divide among the group which is not what this place was created for.
Everyone is welcome to the party no matter if they recently became a member. There are other ways to share secret information with your close pals in here without the general population seeing it. You can pm the info to everyone on your buddy list or you can start a blocked server and invite people you trust in.
We want to be careful about flooding the place with admins. The thing that makes this site fun is you don’t feel like hall monitors are looking over your shoulder policing your every move. The hands off atmosphere works better in my opinion. Admin steps in if it appears that a situation is getting out of hand.
That’s all we need and it has worked well this way for years.

having that type of setup in forums creates elitism and dissension. just look at TitsInTops, for example.
as far as more mods, a few more might be a good idea as this place expands.
