pongo88 Posted March 24, 2018 Report Share Posted March 24, 2018 The “younger generation” and “older generation” mean different things as you get older. When I was young, “old” was over 30. Now I’m a bit older, “young” means anything under 80. Old is over 95. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furious Custard Posted March 24, 2018 Report Share Posted March 24, 2018 23. My opinion of this site is that it is in echo chamber.There seems to be a number of users on here with quite high post number. RobboRed as an example, the 3 threads i have looked at today and you have the most number of posts in all of them. It gets boring very quickly when you have the same small group of posters conducting 70% of the conversations on each thread every day. Do you guys not have lives outside of this little corner on the internet ? I get that we need users to post in order to have any discussion but most of it i crap jokes. Just look at this thread. most of it is total garbage, topics just go off topic too quickly to get any real discussion going. We live in an era where every story going on or that has ever happened is at the tip of our fingertips. This is what you are competing with. You also have to remember that everyone is on mainstream social media, facebook Twitter etc. The city till i die facebook page has access to everyone on there. How does this site get new users ? how can this site compete ? Cause I dont think it can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Hitler Posted March 24, 2018 Report Share Posted March 24, 2018 I don't think it is a competition; boards with too many users are as bad as those with too few. When you have a forum with as many posts as, say, the Man City board then every interesting discussion disappears in a great WHUMP of noise. There are a significant number of people who actively dislike Facebook and Twitter, I do and several people with whom I work have expressed their, entirely unprompted by me, distaste for those platforms, hence for them this site will always be first choice for matters City.

I’m a member of city till I die and that is a hell of a lot worse than this for crap jokes and the likes trust me,of course you are right because Facebook and the like are more popular because it’s easy to post on there when you truly haven’t got a clue without being taken to task like you would in here or on any football forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The turtle Posted March 24, 2018 Report Share Posted March 24, 2018 i think an app would work wonders for engagement with the younger generations. for example, an update sent to the phone (new threads, replies, likes etc) grabs the attention, rather than hoping they come to you. it's not about if the app would be any better, simply it's how you engage youngsters. look at instagram. if a friend posts a live video, it tells you. as a curious aside, according to my profile, ive been on this forum 17614 days, a good 3000 more than I've been alive.

Additionally, I think the birth of social media allows a lot of my generation, unfortunately me included at times, to mindlessly scroll through a phone rather than think critically or independently, so the idea of a forum with strong, thought out opinions probably doesn't attract that person as much as it would an older generation - who's more used to having to actively think for themselves about what they see and hear every day. Wow! That's one of the most profound thoughts I've ever seen on here. Well done mate. BTW; I'm 63 and joined 15 years ago.

I I'm a bit like that when I wander through Tesco, if I have an accumulator on with Paddy Power. My eyes aren't too far from that app if it's looking good.
