While, I think I might agree, I simply don't know enough about any of the current moderators, their age nor abilities. The only moderator I knew was De, and loved the guy. I joined the Tulsa Gluedobbers back when I was a young 39 and was active until I got married and my youngest child was born in 2005,and just got too busy with life. I am now 63 and I don't consider myself young in many ways, except in my heart and I'm blessed with a good metabolism and few ailments. But I have to say when I make an occasional visit to the old field, I might no longer be the youngest, but the hobby still seems to have the problem it had when I was 40: a lack of younger participants.
I think it would be nice to have younger members, participants, builders, flyers and moderators. But I would also guess that if you run the demographics of this site, and of the hobby itself, the statistics might be somewhat depressing. It is just a different world than when I grew up. I had three channels of TV, a neighborhood football or baseball game on occasion, reading, or building models. So I built and flew a whole lot of models. I didn't even know there were any clubs back then. We just flew in a vacant lot or a H.S. parking lot (if we wanted to walk a mile carrying our planes and equipment, which wasn't very often). And by the time I was in Junior High, I was the only one left in my neighborhood that still built models. The only people I've ever met involved in the sport were either childhood friends, members of the Tulsa club or those visiting for the annual contest.
But I also don't particularly believe in doom and gloom. Somehow the hobby has survived a long time and there are still a lot of people interested and participating in it. The COVID wasn't kind, neither medically and socially, to this endeavor. I don't actually remember if I had to enter a birth date or not when I joined this site. I suspect from reading the posts that a great deal of members here know a lot of other members. I know maybe two or three. Maybe.
