This has been weighing very heavily on my mind. I have given serious thought on whether changing this from an adult (18) forum to a mature (17) forum would be to our advantage.
I am trying to broaden the scope of what we offer. I want to get traction with foreign celebrities country by country (that's my ideal). We might be able to mine out fresh cows and content.
It's not secret that I have been somewhat obsessed with Nigeria and Nigerian celebrities. Aside from Nigeria, I have been considering Bollywood (India) as well. Interestingly, Bollywood was a big deal in Pakistan and still is. More importantly Nigeria (median age is around 18) is a young country along with Pakistan (median age is around 20.4 years). The median age of the United States is around 38.5 years. In India it is 28.4 years.
Would changing this to a mature forum (17) give us an advantage (if even only a small one)? To put this in perspective at 17 you can join the military or get married (with parental permission) or obtain employment (though not across the board). I don't want to make a decision such as this without getting some kind of consensus by the rank and file. Any feedback would be helpful.
