It's probably been said before but I am curious how everyone got to land here.

Some of you were probably recommended and others like me found the forum another way.

I did a google search for senior forums and here I am.
 

Same as you three ..I was looking for a 'nice' forum for seniors away from those where there's a lot of argumentative posts ( I'm a member of those too but they have their place)..and I found this and was very welcomed by everyone. A nicer bunch of people on a forum I have yet to meet, so I'm very glad I am here..and long may it last!!
 
I was really surprised that my initial google searches turned up such a paltry assortment of links. I would have thought the "senior forum" would have yielded a plethora of exciting opportunities. After weeding out the international dating sites (with pictures) the results were disappointing except that I eventually ended up here.
 
Like others, a google search, I have other places I've been, found another more recent, but, they are constantly trying to push their other services on you so, I've stopped visiting that one and the other, I've been a member for a decade that forum isn't specifically geared to seniors, they just have a retirement section and I was looking for place where old people hang out and chat plus, I was tired of mostly just chatting with people my daughter's age and younger, though, not all that much different at times.
 
Was in a "Baby Boomer" forum, but way too many young folks (as in 20's/30's) were getting into the forum asking about "Baby Boomer" stuff..........so, left. I would have no reason to become a member of a 20's/30's yr old forum.

Anyway, found this the same way I find a lot of things.......using "Search".
 
Same as most others, did a senior forum 'google' and this was the first one that came up.I like the fact that we are all from different English speaking countries on here.
 
Yep, similar here. My search was over 50s forums. I had my own site that I set up but got no 'takers', not surprising as I tried to find the site using Google ... and didn't!!

Ditto..But I use Bing search.
 
Google search also. I'll be 55 this year.

I left a vegetarian/vegan forum because it was getting on my nerves and I was looking for another forum. I searched for over 50 forums and found this place.
 
I also found this forum after googling, I was previously involved "chatting" to computer friends on a recipe site which closed the fourm without notice. I went looking for something I can just browse when I want to, or be involved in as much as I like without any trouble or any people who tend to take over an owership of the forums
All on this site have been welcoming, and a great deal of knowledge if we need something answered. Can I say that's because of our age group and wisdom
 
I belonged to a forum in Australia and it closed down because the admin wanted to spend time with his family and enjoy
his retirement so I was told about this one and also another one that lots of the members joined as well .. its called Silver Peers a nice forum as well but at the moment I haven`t been able to log into it like I can this one so this will do .. I also know some from here from another forum like Falcon and also Dame Warrigal, there might be others as well Phantom.. as well can`t remember the others here now as names might have changed , but this is a nice friendly forum and I am happy here when I feel ok to log in , have a few health issues which prevents me from coming on when ever I want to but its nice and I am happy when I can ..
