Brumerican Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 (edited) Nature's first clearing in the woods. Probably why they taste like they do. Edited February 17, 2021 by Brumerican 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brumerican Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 The VT logo is literally a clearing in the woods on it's side and looks like an owl winking ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumerican Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Incidentally this is why TV and film are obsessed with owls if you've ever wondered. I could easily do this for hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddywhack Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 I wonder how much the demographic of VT has changed over the years. I created my account in 2008 when I was 20 and there seemed to be plenty of other posters around the same age as me (most of whom are still around). It's just my perception and I'll probably be proved completely wrong, but I feel like I'm still amongst the younger users here. I'm guessing teenagers and people in their early 20s don't really use forums much. It's all about tweets and that tick tocky thing thing isn't it? There also used to be a fair few females who posted on here too, but I think we scared them all away. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 I joined in 2006, but don't think i regularly posted for about 6 or 7 years. I think there are a lot of posters in Off Topic around my age (41) or a few years either side. I always think the youngsters go on the Facebook groups and stuff like that. This forum has done well to survive. A lot of forums (fora?) have died a death due to Facebook over the years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There also used to be a fair few females who posted on here too, but I think we scared them all away. From what my daughter tells me, she kind of uses forums, but they’re known as servers. She uses them to chat about her interests in the same way we use VT, but they’re much more specific. I.e. bearded dragons or black metal. Not as much room for off topic. They look like a forum but you can create them yourself. That’s if my 40 year old bloke brain understands it right. She’s 21. My son who’s 18, only has the attention span for TikTok, Snapchat and Twitter. He’d be bored reading anything over a few sentences. (Yet strangely he still got the highest grades in his school for English literature, History, RS etc... so I know he can read if he has to!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you often wonder what your last 'boy of the world' VT post was, and your first 'man of the world' VT post? I bet you do now that I've mentioned it, cuz you're you, and you do that kinda thing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
