I think there is little that could be done, anyway. Apart from creating actual parts of the site for younger members. Maybe for under forty's or under thirties or whatever. But why would Odeon want to do this?
It sounds to me like they want somewhere to post where they don't have to read or see posts from those they feel are old and farty. Well, i would suggest that they just ignore the members they feel are old and farty anyway. AFAIK there is no law that says a reply is required.
In fact i would suggest to anyone to use the site and fill it with stuff that you like. I don't know what is preventing anyone from using the site this way.
The atmosphere is dictated by the current posters. The best way to change the atmosphere is by posting. What or who is preventing this?
I have to be honest, and say I dont really agree with most of this.

I think that would be a bad idea. When the site worked, a large part of what was good about the site was the interaction between young and old.

No, that is not the case at all. I would like to see a better mix of people.
I want the atmosphere that existed in the past. To give a crappy analogy, in the past, the site had a pub atmosphere, for want of a different word. There was the oldies sipping their beer quietly and playing bridge, and a more raucous group of youngsters getting pissed at the door, shouting abuse at passers by.
Now that the youngsters have largely faded away, the atmosphere has changed from a pub atmosphere, to genteel coffee shop atmosphere.

TBH, lack of motivation. I had enough motivation to offer a suggestion, and try to explain my views. I didnt have the motivation to take an active role in trying to improve things.

That should be fairly obvious. Odeon and Les. I voiced an opinion that was at worst, mildly controversial. Almost 25 pages on, they are still going on about it. They have each thrown at least one absurd slice of paranoia at me, and Les still appears to be going strong.
I could easily stay here and post cute pics of cats, and funny memes/jokes. Thats just not me though.
It seems that if I stay here, and be myself, I will have the Chuckle Brothers on my back at every opportunity.
