"I regret to say this, but I think our forum does not attract the "young and strong" and we are over-represented by the "old and wise". I think we need to figure out how to attract these younger folks, or we will wither away."

As the old saying goes, be careful what you wish for. While BPL has plenty of fogies, they have a good number of the young and strong there. And it's quite a different vibe there than here. Not saying better or worse, but definitely different.
