General Discussion

I have tried for 7 plus years to get people from my age cohort (I am now 29yo) involved here. Almost universally all who looked at the board said thanks but no thanks.

There is a deep current of hostility from some (not a huge number, but too many to ignore) here towards us young folk, plus a sometimes staggering (and only getting worse unfortunately as the rivers of time flow on) age-related cultural gap (which is a natural occurrence, unfortunately).

That all said, there are MANY wonderful older people here, they are deffo in the majority here, but the overall board thematics just are not going capture any significant numbers of younger people.

I will end with a positive. The number of blatant, outright youth-bash posts, which used to be legion, has decreased here as of late. For that I am very grateful.
