^ That's spot on NKY. For more our more "experienced" users (meaning were OLD), this is a great forum to post. But as M'boro stated, the 18-24 males have transitioned to Twitter. They don't come back. Just look at the bottom of the homepage and look at the Birthday ages. When you click on those members that fall in the above age bucket, they have posted very little over the past year.

It's also a sign of change in communication preference. Today, our younger generation does not carry interpersonal "CONVERSATIONS", they text and tweet with acronyms so they can save keystrokes

b/c: Twitter shorthand for "because."
B: Twitter shorthand for "be."
b4: Twitter shorthand for "before."
cre8: Often seen on Twitter, it means "create."
F2F: An acronym used on Twitter that means "face to face."
fab: A shortened version of “fabulous” frequently used on Twitter.
ETC....




None of them wants to get on here and read a 18,000 word from Granny Bear in every post...nicker:

J/K GB..

But seriously, this generation does not want to waste time writing or reading. Forums are made for "Writing and Reading".....
