Grandpa!
Friday, May 17, 2002 by treetog | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I just voted in the latest pool and when I went to see the results, I saw the my age (35-64 year old) category have the majority of the votes.
I knew that the averadge age here was higher, but I never thought we were that old.
Way to go Grandpas!

Doh! Sorry Deltaz, I deleted one of your responses and it wiped out all of them.
What he said was basically "Let's get back to the topic at hand."
Doreen: You started a debate a debate has to involve assertions and evidence to link the two. If your assertion is that age does't play a role in behavior then I would have to say that you're sadly mistaken.
I think a more interesting hypothesis would go like this:
Once upon a time there was skinz.org which had (by today's standards) a small but very vibrant community that served all age groups. When skinz.org went down, that group split in two and formed the core of two very different sites - deviantART and WinCustomize with the other sites having more balanced demographics. I think that this has had some positive effects, one of which is greater cooperation because they don't feel like they are "competing" head to head.
I know you (Doreen) liked the old Skinz.org Doreen but they did not work well with other sites. But history has shown that WinCustomize and deviantART have a very close relationship as well as Deskmod, LOS, and Skinbase. I think this "fragmentation" is what largely led to the current relatively positive relationship between the sites.

I have yet to see adults participate in threads such as:
- What is your favorite color?
- Who's hotests, Britney or Christina?
- ASL?
etc.

Well Brad to be honest, I cannot even debate w/ you regarding the Skinz.org comment you made about and it not working well w/ the other sites cuz me never really strayed away from skinz.org I only knew & hung out on "that one site" until it went down and now I'm all over the place so I cannot compare from then to now really... 
Paxxy you stillll don't get me! arghh!
- My fav color is red & black
- Who's hottest? Doreen no lookey @ other girls and think that...
- ASL? say what?
hehe (you're a wise guy paxxy!)
sometimes easy to participate in silly threads such as you posted and STILL have fun I say! (notice I am a stubborn adult female) hehe
