Average age on here is late 30's/early 40's
We're all growing old and dying together
Well there's a cheery thought.
I used to be a member of the EMPIRE film magazine forum, but that's been closed as they use the facebook group instead now.
Shame really as it had loads of subforums like this and had all kinds of things for people to chat about besides films.

they have real friends?
There's where you're going wrong. Go to a different forum and the age ranges will be totally different.
RTG is a forum for newbs tbh, no offence.

It's probably just that they don't post much. I'm in my 20's (just) and was probably a lurcker for my first 5 years on the forum.
youngsters can feel intimidated plus when you get to your 30-40s you have had enough working so happy to arse around on here

Mumsnet for example.
Bit gutted the Twitter feed "Mumsnes Madness" seems to have stopped. It used to find some absolute belters.
This was the last one they put up.

By what? Elderly men moaning about Rodwell?
The "fixed email" thing stopped me from signing up for years. I'm betting most kids don't have access to a fixed email address.

If I were leave where I am now, I suspect I'd have to ask for special dispensation to use a different e-mail!
I've seen far worse on here
Showering with the dog anyone?

The Best Of The Amazing "Penis Beaker" Debate
I think this might be even more bizarre than that.
It's a kernt, but also stops spamming so I see why they do it.

This place has been around a long time.
Reddit and other social media sites will be more likely to attract young'uns.
Sites like this tend to die on their arses after a while, it's surprising this one has bucked the trend and has such an active user base.

I would have said "facebook", as I know a couple of forums where the facebook page has basically taken over.
Facebook is mile better for a quick answer, but its terrible for a proper conversation, and you can't search or go back in history very easily at all.
But then, we're being told that kids don't use facebook now..........
Is there another thing? pinterest, reddit, maybe its insta, cos if no, I've f***ing no idea what the point of that thing is!

Reddit and 4chan are the 2 major ones for younguns, most people have never heard of 4chan.

4Chan caters for a particular type of internet arsehole.
