    Default Under 20's Section?

    With all the young people we now seem to have either joining the Forum or being mentioned by worried parents, should there be a "Strictly Under 20's Section"? Would it be used? Would it be invaded by well meaning old fogies? Any thoughts please.

    It would be nice for them to have a site only for "20's." They of course would be welcome to come on over to the over than "20" site meaning us! Us older people have so much info regarding Wegeners disease, but the younger crowd might just want to talk with someone more their age.

    I'd love for them to have their own section to use as they like. Other than Andrew, of course, I suggest a "no exceptions" policy to invasions by older members. We all see how quickly we lose control....

    We need some input to this thread from the members who might use such a section. It is difficult for older members to second guess what need exists, or not as the case may be.

    I like the idea but under 20's might be a bit too young... althought there's a few under 20's here, it might be better with something like under 25's?

    Haha I don't know, I might just be "greedy".... you've all made me feel ooooold and I'm only 22! :P

    I agree with Malin in that 25 is a more realistic age but being a 'frustrated teenager' myself (fast approaching another significant birthday with a zero attached) I would miss the fresh vitality of the younger section if their postings were off limits to me!
    Perhaps the answer would be that only they could post in that section, but that anyone could view? I now feel like a sneeky parent Ha Ha!

    Beware! Geoff's a stalker.

    I envisioned a section where the "too-old's" could read but not post. For private conversations, they'd have to use private messages or emails.

    Yes, that is what I had in mind too, but I'm concerned that there may not be a demand for such a section from those intended to use it.

    I guess the answer would be to float the idea and then see if it was used? (looking askew at Andrew with my eyes on stalks)
