Jules Grimm Posted June 27, 2006 Report Posted June 27, 2006 I only registered my mistake after i posted and saw my post number - my apologies - Just still feeling like a bit of a newbie with my miniscule post count... Quote
Chacmool Posted June 27, 2006 Report Posted June 27, 2006 I guess i dont count since i think i havent passed the 10 post mark... Is it a matter of how many posts you've made or how often you post?Of course you count! ALL our members are important. I just wish more people would stick around and become regulars. And don't get too hung up about the number of posts - after all, everyone here, even Tormod, started out with that first post. It's quality that counts, and not quantity. :hihi: Turtle 1 Quote
Tormod Posted June 27, 2006 Report Posted June 27, 2006 Post count is not a measure of quality, nor of seniority. It is perhaps a measure of ability to waste time. :hihi: Quote
cwes99_03 Posted June 27, 2006 Report Posted June 27, 2006 Wow, then you are either the biggest waste of time, or............ Thanks, T, I always did think I was a big waste of time :eek2: Quote

I hope that one day i will attain the status of "regular" - Guess i just need to chat more. I always try to think of something really intelligent and eloquent to post (mainly so i dont end up looking like a complete idiot) so that cuts down the amount i post by quite a large amount. Quote

I always try to think of something really intelligent and eloquent to post (mainly so i dont end up looking like a complete idiot) so that cuts down the amount i post by quite a large amount.No worries! :hihi: I would suggest chatting a bit in the more informal sections, such as the Watercooler, if you are still feeling a bit uncertain. Also, I found it very useful (and still do!) just to observe and read a LOT of posts by other members. And I'm sure you won't look like an idiot; we're actually quite a friendly and accommodating bunch of people here at Hypography! But now, not to wander off topic, you still haven't told us your age... Quote
Jules Grimm Posted June 28, 2006 Report Posted June 28, 2006 My apologies - i guess my brain wandered off there for a bit - luckily it's now returned to me :hihi: - I'm 23. I think that finding my feet in the less formal section is a very good idea. I visit the site every week day, but 90% of the time i'm just reading, unless i find something i feel confident anough to write about - like books or bad jokes... Quote
pgrmdave Posted June 28, 2006 Author Report Posted June 28, 2006 Looking at this poll, we can see that while there is about an even distribution across most ages, there are more than twice as many members in their late teens than any other age group. Is this typical of the internet (they have more free time?) or does this tell us something about hypography? Quote
ronthepon Posted June 28, 2006 Report Posted June 28, 2006 It's because we are learning and want to learn... Or maybe it's most of us bothering to roam about on the net. Quote
IDMclean Posted June 28, 2006 Report Posted June 28, 2006 Perhaps it is a reflection of a changing world. I know that I am here because i have sought out other places to discuss my studies and other people, and the general consenus I had gotten previous of Hypography was "yah, whatever kid.", here that doesn't happen so often. Most often the response is something more like "oh really? That's interesting, I'll take a look when I get more time." Much more accepting, and conducts broader tables of understanding, without strict conformity to exact science, higher emphasis on age, and show of credentials. I am here, because the professionals for the most part don't have the time for the likes of arrogant, little ones such as myself. pgrmdave 1 Quote
cwes99_03 Posted June 28, 2006 Report Posted June 28, 2006 You could ask all of us who are not of that age group if we often feel intellectually like we are near college age. Even though I am 25, I have maintained my curiosity and explanative nature that I had at the age of 18, only now I have more knowledge to talk about. I do however believe that people of that age group spend a whole lot more time online. I however work at my computer a good portion of the day and take trips regularly out to Hypography to see what's new. Quote
Tormod Posted June 28, 2006 Report Posted June 28, 2006 there are more than twice as many members in their late teens than any other age group. Is this typical of the internet (they have more free time?) or does this tell us something about hypography? Good question. Hypography is certainly not aimed specifically at teenagers (in fact I don't think I'd pass a venture capitalist interrogation when it comes to target groups for Hypography). Maybe we just like the scenery? :hihi: I don't know. It's really nice to have such a wide age group representation. Quote
TheBigDog Posted June 28, 2006 Report Posted June 28, 2006 Good question.

It's really nice to have such a wide age group representation.The allure is that all voices are heard here and jundged for the quality of their content, not for their background, educational base or experience. Smart kids who would not have a voice on many matters outside of this format are welcomed for their insightful input here. The anonimity of the internet combined with the even enforcement of standards combine to make this unique place where all voices have equal time. Tormod is a genius. The rest of us are the dust that makes his idea shine so brightly. Bill Quote

InfiniteNow Posted June 29, 2006 Report Posted June 29, 2006 Per capita, teenagers tend to use the Internet in higher frequency than those in other age groups, hence, based on the populational cross section of all internet users, this seems just about right. Quote
Barry Scott Posted July 9, 2006 Report Posted July 9, 2006 Im a teenager, i agree with Ronthepon, i visit this forum because i want to learn, there are many threads which have answered questions which my teachers at school couldnt have :eek_big:. I agree with Tormod too, i think its good that there are a wide range of people on this forum, i think its good to take in other peoples views. Older people can learn from younger peoples because of there inquisitivness (i think thats a word) and younger people can learn form older people because of there knowledge and experience. Quote
