Is there anyone under 40 left on boards?

Does anyone actually ever give their real DOB when signing up to websites like these?

For the last couple of years I've always been entering 01/01/2000.

Grammer Nazi lol

I'm 36 and I live abroad so it's nice to have that connection. I do use Reddit for some niche things but it's a horrible place to have a conversation, even ignoring most of the userbase.

I turned 35 recently. And even more recently, I turned 40. On an average day, I rarely spend more than a few minutes on Boards. It seems to have entered a "managed decline" phase over the last few years. If the appetite had been there a few years ago, they might have saved it (a Boards App would've helped - and also something (i.e. anything) less shite than the disastrous migration to Vanilla). Probably too late for it to bounce back now though. I just hope, whenever it does close down, that the two-and-a-half decades of content will somehow be archived and preserved.

i was about to reply in indignation until i realised i am no longer in my 30s :( have been on here a good 20 years plus aswell.

The sh*tty upgrade of the website a couple of years ago put an end to that sadly, that was the final nail in the coffin for me.

I am under 40 but rarely, if ever, use this website anymore.

It is very outdated and the new upgrade has resulted in a terrible user experience.

38 this year. Shortly before I set my current account I think a large proportion of people I knew were on boards, not so much anymore. The app was great and used to be the main way I used the site, the Vanilla upgrade meant I moved more to reddit as a lot of the forums here got far quieter.

Yes I am in early 30s but I am not the typical person my age. I don't have an Instagram or Tik Tok account and I always have preferred forums over Reddit. It isn't possible for me to use Reddit as I get heavily downvoted and shadow banned.

All nonsense.

The average age is 6-8.

That's only lately, tbf.

41, joined 2002 (so it says), so here a while alright :o Not much posting these days mind. Survived a good few set backs over the years - from losing usercp, after hours- well don’t know what happened it, the search never working (to working, to not, to..), losing the :pac: smiley, banning the use of yore ma (for shame).. The move to vanilla nearly did it in for me once and for all, but have slowly adapted to it
