How young is everyone?

[dolina]

Dolina does that and at least he took the time to adjust the thread titles for the various places and takes the time to comment in those various places. Why should we worry about anything other than what appears on AP anyway?

Exactly! Each forum is unique and as such each has a different point of view on things.

I was listening to a youtube video about the camera industry's sales performance for 2016.

Smartphone, point & shoot, mirrorless and DSLR users age was brought up.

I am trying to verify if what he said rang true.

Reproducibility and replicability together are among the main principles of the scientific method.

So if I get the same results 100x then what was said on the video is correct.

Poll results over here and over there supported both of their opinion.

Number of the more mature are growing, Oh, can someone grab my walking frame please? I want to go and take some photos - hmm where did I put my camera gear

AP is probably the most active Australian forum outside of Facebook. I am wondering how young everyone is.

Facebook isn't a forum. Facebook is a ................. [remarks unsuitable for a family-friendly site.]

And it tracks you beyond the point of "intrusive" and right out there into sleazy and beyond.

Other than that it draws users away from Internet forums to their Facebook Groups.

As it was pointed out earlier I am an active member on other Internet forums and in some I have noticed a sudden plunge in user activity while others have entirely moved to Facebook Groups and shut down their servers entirely.

Happened with this thread too. a quick google shows it appearing all over the net.

Ah Yes Rick I read that one, and all the ones dolina put on the other Forums too.

Gee I have not voted yet and I am a tad on the short side, reckon I will have to get a ladder to reach up closer to the top of that poll

I might as well disclose this as well that my previous photos of birds, wildlife and sports are also shared elsewhere.

Last Sunday I turned 73, my mother died 3 months ago, 5 weeks off 96. So I must be young.

Hi Ross, Very sorry for your loss mate. Happy Birthday for last Sunday. May the old guys rule LOL

[ameerat42]

... May the old guys rule LOL

Rule? Isn't it "whiskey* and rye"?

*(I know, US spelling for US-type spirit)

I don't think I've ever been so surprised by a poll result in my life. Hard to believe that an online forum would have half as many members willing to declare they were born 1901-1924 (ie aged 93-116) as were born in the last 37 years.

Given the disclosures on members' age, I will post this joke that I heard the other day:

Two elderly married couples were having dinner together. The wives had left the husbands to have a whisky while they washed up.

"We had dinner last night at a lovely restaurant", one gentleman remarked.

"Really? What was the name of the restaurant?"

After thinking for some considerable time he asked. "Umm...what do you call that flower? You know...red bloom, long stalk, thorns...?"

"Rose?"

"That's it!"

He turned to the kitchen and called out, "Rose! What was the name of that restaurant that we visited last night?"

1999-2017 = no votes.
So they can't be bothered with voting on this ageism stuff or there are new platforms they play on and forums will eventually become obsolete.

I can't imagine that we have a lot of people under 18 years old here. Welcome to anyone who is though.

Mikew09. Thanks.

Ross.

Oops. Missed the post regarding your loss. Apologies for the flippant posts in what must be a difficult time.

Yes.. and when the time comes, AP will simply close down.

Looking at the joining dates of some members, its interesting to note that we have grown old together. Quite a few of us have been members for seven years or more. It seems like we were "spring chickens" when we joined the forum.

I'd be very curious to know what the response overall is. I present to photo clubs on occasions and the audience is usually old, though it does vary a bit with different clubs. I also present to people interested in fungi and general science and they are always much younger. I find that much more rewarding.

I almost made the cut for an earlier age bracket, but being born in 1979 I missed out by one year and got lumped in with all the other oldies... uh, um, I mean my elderly- no, mature peers.
