Doh! Sorry Deltaz, I deleted one of your responses and it wiped out all of them.
What he said was basically "Let's get back to the topic at hand."
Doreen: You started a debate a debate has to involve assertions and evidence to link the two. If your assertion is that age does't play a role in behavior then I would have to say that you're sadly mistaken.
I think a more interesting hypothesis would go like this:
Once upon a time there was skinz.org which had (by today's standards) a small but very vibrant community that served all age groups. When skinz.org went down, that group split in two and formed the core of two very different sites - deviantART and WinCustomize with the other sites having more balanced demographics. I think that this has had some positive effects, one of which is greater cooperation because they don't feel like they are "competing" head to head.
I know you (Doreen) liked the old Skinz.org Doreen but they did not work well with other sites. But history has shown that WinCustomize and deviantART have a very close relationship as well as Deskmod, LOS, and Skinbase. I think this "fragmentation" is what largely led to the current relatively positive relationship between the sites.
