We do have quite a young demographic on the site, and some older SAUKers felt they didn't belong here/excluded, hence its creation.

Azi · #**212** 30th August 2015, 23:23

^^ Which is why we take a relaxed attitude to people posting in there under-30. We try to cater for all kinds of different SA sufferers.

Z. · #**213** 30th August 2015, 23:24

If one reaches the age of 82, is that member looked down upon when posting in that section?

The threads aren't even aimed towards any age group. It's just another way to divide people up into arbitrary categories.

I shall leave this thread now.

shame is, everybody for some reason or another probably feels anxious about fitting in don't they?

Yes, nature of SA. But we had sufficient numbers of older folks who wanted the subsection to warrant it.

No, of course not. We're shuffled off to Dignitas, obviously! It was just a fairly weak play on the club 18-30 thing, and not meant to be entirely literal.

Z., I think it is not for the forum sake, it is for its members. Some people want to post in order to get advice from members who they feel have had similar life experiences. I also mainly post there if my post may not be suitable for younger members, they are still welcome to read or post in it but on the understanding I have not had younger members in mid when I posted it.

Good to know, but it's okay to be critical/negative about the site. I just wanted to clarify what the thinking was behind it as it didn't seem clear.

And thank you, flumpsy -- that's what I was trying to get across!

flumpsy · #**218** 30th August 2015, 23:41

oh good god, I must be starting to makes sense. I better get out on the forum and use my new powers for good !!!

The worries of a teenager, 20 something, 30 something and 40 something are all slightly different.

The specific age itself is arbitrary and generally I enjoy the mix but sometime you may want to hear from people who have mortgages, have had divorces, piles, rehab all the things reserved (not exclusively) as a bonus as you age.

And for those posters it may make them more relaxed and less anxious

Square peg · #**221** 31st August 2015, 02:08

Uh oh, am already "sensitive" about my age....is it OK to pretend to be under 30? I haven't even looked in the "oldies" section yet, still just finding my way round. And I have to admit to enjoying posts by people quite a bit younger than me (and feeling a bit envious of their youth).

flumpsy · #**222** 31st August 2015, 02:21

You are 21 square peg

Yeah dont worry, oldies arent herded into the over 30 section. It us just a place to use if they need it.

Hey, can you delete one of my deranged threads, please? It wasperhaps my most ill-conceived thread and its deletion will be no great loss to message-board continuity. It attracted a couple other members, I think. It is titled: "World's creepiest religious clothing". Perhaps with a question mark.

Azi · #**224** 3rd September 2015, 21:12

No problem, LB. Thread's ben zapped.

David K · #**233** 10th September 2015, 01:11

Ey, yo, what's up y'all? Can one of you lovely folks please correct a typo in my thread title please?

It should be New-fangled powdered food. Please and thankyou!

MLP James · #**238** 21st September 2015, 04:48

You forgot to set him as 'banned at own request'. People are gonna think he did a bad thing.

Indigo_ · #**239** 21st September 2015, 21:03

^ That's my fault. Completely forgot to sort that!

Azi · #**240** 22nd September 2015, 19:00

All sorted!
