Hmmm, I am afraid they wouldn't last long in these forums. There are plenty of forums where this is acceptable, FunTrivia just isn't one of them. In our rules, found in the FAQ, we ask people NOT to use chatspeak. If they cannot keep to our rules their accounts would be closed, as they would if they were rude to other members.
We also prefer people to use correct capitalisation and punctuation as it is far easier to read, therefore good manners. We accept that some people with dexterity problems might not be able to use the shift key with ease, but generally it is not a problem for most people.

Was that mild chastisement? *blushing* So looking forward to getting to know all the nooks and nuances of this community. *gone to edit for capitalisation*

Absolutely not! It was just a follow on from your chatspeak comment which we very much appreciated. I am so sorry if you thought I meant you, really sorry. From time to time we get new members who post in all lowercase, it is very hard to read, I don't think that applied to you. Please forgive me if you think I was having 'a pop' at you, I really wasn't.

Its nice to not be in a minority group anymore!
For years I worked in a technical call center were I had to constently remind the guys that I was a girl. Though.. there were also some nice perks in working with mostly guys.
They helped me move, fix my car, offered to "get rid of" a bad ex boyfriend, never walked out to my car in the dark alone, and no freakin' lines in the bathroom!

Hey toadette, are you hiding behind the sofa? We are sitting ten or twelve feet from each other, around a corner so I can't see her, nor she me - and yes, we have both been on msn writing messages to each other. We haven't actually got around to using webcams but that might come!
You caught me!!

This poll shows what I have always beleived that women generally are better with word games . Am surprised though at majority of age group playing. You should be working to support the retirees! Just kidding.

Well I'm female and I'm currently 20 years old. The strage thing is I signed up to these forums in 2002 I believe. After reading through some of my previous posts from then I read that I was only 16. To me now it seems I was so young back then !

I was not suprised about these polls because I always thought that there was more women. At least I am not in the age group with the least amount of people.
PS- GO TEENS!

I am very surprised that 19% of all members on this website are under 20. I think that you should break down the categories more so it is easier to see. I think that the 13-16 range would be a lot smaller than the 17-20 range!
Also, I guess that the women win... this time!
