How are staff, mods, and project managers chosen?

Haha. I joined 4 years ago for actual chicken advice, not because I was bored in quarantine. I’m a teenager, not a little kid.

I didn't say you were underage, I don't know of anyone here who is underage and just joined to chat, that's all I'm saying

Yes, that's annoying, but there are plenty of 'adults' yakking it up too.

True

I know plenty of em

I know plenty of em

That's cause you're a 'kid' too.

Stop it....just stop it!!! A simple question was asked and now all of you are acting like little kids!

 

[cluckmecoop7]

That's cause you're a 'kid' too.

I’m a teenager and I came here for advice. why are you making it sound like I am one of the underage troublemakers?

 

[cluckmecoop7]

That's cause you're a 'kid' too.

My mistake, I should’ve said I know of a lot of them.

People of all ages, really. But almost all have chickens, so I don't see an issue really

You're new here.
3, 4 or 5 years ago there was a lot less random chatting and a lot more chicken talk. Ya sure most here do have chickens but lots are newer to them and lots have 4 or 6 in their city backyards.
We used to have a really diverse mix of chicken owners many with years and years of experience all across the board. You could go to any section ask a question and within minutes have 4 or 5 people that really knew what they were talking about come in and give lots of guidance.
Now there's very few that are truly helpful and way too much drama all over the place.
I miss the old days and the many knowledgeable members that have moved on because of how this place has changed. Hell I even had to learn what meme and gifs where just to communicate here.
When I go to shows or talk to old time breeders I mention the site and many think this place is a joke. That's sad to me.
I love BYC and I've adapted but the old days were more informative and less social media.

Exactly the point I was trying to get across. Couldn't have said it better!!
