"Senior's corner"

Post Reply New Topic

I like the changes to WP, the new forums. Would it be possible to have the 'Senior's quiet corner' that Paolo suggested a while back? It did get a lot of support. I think it would be great.

Uhhhh......what would we do in there? (I'd be the one trying to make you all play 'kick the can.')

Yes, we could do that

But kids might come in there and post polls/topics demanding to know why we have to be such buttheads.

Well, why the do you have to be such buttheads!?

You see? It's only in the idea stage, and it's already started!

Senior's corner = bad idea.

It was a joke, man.

(*in old man's voice) "It was all different before the war!"

I know; I was only kidding too.

Actually, why not? (There's a "Kid's Crater," why not something at the other end of the age spectrum?)


Actually, it was (we used toads and lizards as money, for example).

The Aspie Antiques forum Sorry, couldn't resist. I think it is a good idea, but I would probably find myself dipping into, even though I am only 31. I mean, hell, my best friend when I was 11 was in her 70s.

I think that's the idea, that although it's for 'antiques', lol, it's for anyone who wants to discuss a topic in a slower, more thoughtful way, probably used by more seniors, but not exclusively, gosh no. I envisage it as a place where anyone can join in if they would enjoy that type of discussion.

Aspie Antiques would be a brilliant name for it.

And I had to walk two and a half miles uphill in six feet of snow just to...

Now what the hell was I talking about?

Rjaye, old as hell. Well, not really. Well, maybe to Ahayes and RedMage. Medium Age. That's what I'm going with. Medium age.

Check out the dino-aspie cafe. I think it's in the Getting to Know You Forum.

I think they know that is there but wish to have a proper separate forum section just for older aspies since kids, adolescents, male and female are represented.

I agree with you about having a separate forum for adults (not the current X-rated adult forum). I tried to see if we could get an aspie parent forum but Alex doesn't want to, why, I have no idea.

As in a forum for parents who have AS? As I see it, the problem is too many forums as it is. It's a pain to swing from one to another, especially since the topics seem distributed somewhat randomly (other than the interests). I would suggest perhaps setting up hierarchies of sub-forums, which would organize things better. It can be annoying, but it seems that there are enough divisions now to warrent it.

I remember having an invision forum...my God, the number of times I re-organised things as I wanted to cover so many different areas. I ended up just merging certain things to make room for others, but it was a trick getting the right forum titles so that people would understand what went where. I had a general forum to cover most random things, and a fun section for games, videos, quizzes etc...and one universal problem section to cover all problems.
