Demographics

Because the newest member is claiming to be 12 years-old, I think it's time to clarify the age group this board covers.

Until this point, our youngest member has been roughly 15 years-old, and the eldest are in their 20s. This group of 20-somethings also tend to make up the largest group of posters most of the time.

This means, for the board, that there is a level of language expected here that is outlined in the forum rules. And it means that, in almost every situation, members are treated like adults and expected to act like adults with the understanding that they are responsible for their actions and (primarily here) their words.

So a note to our younger members; we are not all jerks here. If you don't understand something, then ask us, and we'll be happy to clarify. But if you throw a tantrum or ignore the rules, you will be moderated.

And will generally be made to feel small and insignificant. It's happened before.... *wicked grin*

Trying not to overstate, even though we've got a language filter, please be careful with language!
