too old for Tribe?

topic posted Fri, March 24, 2006 - 9:07 PM by  ReReKuka
So the request for new logo ideas (nice to see) in our inboxes includes this bit of description of what Tribe wants to project: "- Tribe users include men and women in the 22-35 age range, who frequently live in metropolitan areas"

I just turned 13 years too old to be the oldest on Tribe. I feel like I'm getting away with something, kind of like lying about your age to get drinks only turned inside out....Maybe they only show ads to those of us over 35 so we'll leave?

    Yeah, I read that message too. A company like Tribe.net survives by selling advertising. Someone ought to inform the little twit who wrote that missive that the people with the most disposable income nowadays are not the out-dated, stereotypical Madison Avenue mandated 13 to 49 demographic. Unless he's selling zit cream or rap CDs, the money's with the 50+ demographic. God, was I ever as young and naive as the kid who wrote that message?

        I was thinking the same thing about that message! I'm 50 and I have more time to be on tribe, and more money to spend on those stupid ads (as if I would . . .).

        Let's all give a big "you're fired!" a la Trump.

        Boomers and Buddies sounds pretty good :)

    Come on now, guys! My husband is 50 and we still go to all night dance parties... among other things! Sure we feel overly tired at times, and have to plan weekends of just rest once in a while, but the life experience and FUN is so worth it! There is so much to be found here on tribe. Just thoughts.
