Wish We Had Younger Members

**Mutatis-Mutandis** · 03-11-2012, 06:53 PM

I love this forum, but the one thing I wish we had is a few ("few" being key, there) younger members. And I don't mean 20 year olds, I mean high-schoolers. I think it'd add a nice, different perspective to things. We had an active one a while back, I think he was 14-15 (I forget his name, honestly), but he wrote more like a 30 year old than a teenager.

Of course, I have no clue on how to get younger members here. And those ones asking us to do their homework definitely do not count.

There are a few running around here

Do I count? I'm 17

Your intro is what inspired this post, Trask. And yeah, you count.

Thanks

There are some younger members on the forum, but you forget what the workload is for a high schooler. I have several teenage friends on my Tombraider forums, and for most of the year I barely hear from them. Not only do they have tremendous loads of complicated homework, they also tend to be involved in extracurricular activites like drama.

Oh, I don't think a lot of students are THAT overworked.

There's the work they get and the work they do. Ne'er the twain shall meet.

Exactly.

The ones with literary interests are probably working on studies, reading books. I might have used this forum years ago, if I had known of its existence.

We used to. The one you're thinking about who was 14-15 and wrote like a 30 year old was probably Daniel, and Heathcliff was 13. I think Pensive joined when she was 11 or something too. I've noticed the lack of teenagers too lately.

Oh dear, that seems to imply we're all getting old together... Not long before this becomes an online convalescent home, eh?

How I wish one could convalesce from age.

Actually, I was thinking of cl154576, unless his real name was Daniel ( I don't remember a poster with that name, actually). I forgot about heathcliff, but I don't think she's active anymore (and I think she was mostly involved on the game forums). I didn't know that about Pensive, though.

One of the interesting things about the forum is the democratic nature of it. It doesn't matter how old you are, what gender, what you look like, what coutry you come from, what clothes you wear, what your job is etc etc everyone can talk on a level playing field without those other impressions intimidating or distracting the poster.
