Admin Announcement Possible changes for the Life stages area

[FreeinChrist]

The Admins and Advisors are considering changes for the Life Stages area. These forums would stay the same but may be subtitled in an area called Relationships:

• Singles
• Courting Couples
• Married Couples
• Parenting
• Widow/Widowers

These forums will change:

• Young Adults
• Roaring Twenties
• Terrific Thirties
• Fabulous Forties
• Golden Eagles 50+

Replace with:

• GEN Z------------ born 1999 to 2015.
• MILLENNIALS--- born 1984 to 1998.
• GEN X ------------ born 1965 to 1983.
• Golden Eagles-------- born 1946 to 1964 but will include anyone 50 and up as of 2019

There are a few reasons for this. First, this will solve the issue of friends aging out of a given forum that is strictly moderated by age. Second, some forums are not very active as the focus is too limiting, and this may provide more people in each of the subforums participating in the discussions.
As to Golden Eagles, since it has been active, we do not want to change it by cutting out those who are 50 - 54 in 2019 who have been participating there. Therefore, anyone who is 50 and up in 2019 will be able to participate in that forum.

Once the change is made, we will start threads in Gen Z, Millennials and Gen X for suggestions for names for the forums and then do a poll. The members of that forum can select the name they like most.

We plan to leave Teens as it is.

cool but why have a gen z forum not since most of those kids are too young to post. 2004 is the earliest allowed.
