Age
Saturday, November 24, 2001 by Emily | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I ponder...what do you think the average age of the average participant of this site? My guess is that it's 20-30?

Shog:
A participant would in my opinion be someone who at least participates on the message board or skins. Definatly not the common downloader..
As far as average age being high here look at yourself and others from our age group.. We have been around the sceen long enough to know better than being loyal to just one site.. and we also know that it's not the people behind the site. It's the message board and the skins, themes, and walls that keep us together. I mean really we have all laughed about a case of Doreenosis, wondered when Jafo was gonna check our spelling and grammer, snickered thinking about the confused newbies when the conversation drifted to China's Fonts, Been licked by Jark, the list goes on.... It matters not the age or the site it's the people and the skinz..

Just to complete the though I don't believe it's the disposable income that Brings "Participants" to wincustomize or any of the other sites...

I'm 30 now. What makes a given skin site (or any site) unique are those woh participate - people who actually write posts, comments, and upload content. They are, for good or ill, what make up the character of the site.
It does seem like the age demographic here is slightly older. And that makes sense, each site in the skinning community attracts a different demographic. This is good as it keeps us all together without anyone feeling alienated.
Even as an admin of WInCustomize, I am not loyal to any single site. Not like I once was. I used to live on skinz.org and nowhere else. Now, I make it a point to be a netizen of all the sites. I now do my "rounds" on a given evening which includes DA, WC, SK, Custo, SB, etc.
Our community has a real richness to it because of the wide variety of people that now are into this sort of thing. It's comforting to know that people of all ages and means like to bring some personalization to a thing that many (like me) spend a lot of time in front of.

Shog, I don't agree: most people here come from the old skinz.org site, which was itself considered to have an older crowd than DM or DA.

I don't think age matters at all, when it comes to a site like this,(or any of the others). I could have said I was 21, and no-one would have questioned it. It's more a matter of personality that's important, and I happen to think that there are some great personalities on this site. I think you drift naturally to where you feel most comfortable.
