I'm a no, 31, MNer for about 18 months I think, have tried other chatrooms (why does that feel like a dirty little secret?!) and can't stand them either.

Sponge - age being relevant to your opinion about a chat room.

I've been here 3 1/2 years

Marina · 09/03/2005 15:41

Actually that is one of his best efforts. Still Rock'n'Roll to me is NOT.

Cam · 09/03/2005 15:42

No, but then I don't text,don't have a dvd player,don't have an ipod, and have a bakelite radio

colditzmum · 09/03/2005 15:44

I'm 24, and unsure. I won't be using it anyway, I don't want to display my typing inadequacies!

So this little survey so far shows that:

NO average age 28.57
Yes average age 34.43
Don't know/don't care average age 30.5

Which proves nothing other than the fact that I am bored enough to actually work it out.

PsychoFlame · 09/03/2005 16:39

Lol - I was wondering if anyone would do anything with the numbers! How about length of time served on MN too?

I say No to chat room. I'm 47. Never been in a chat room. Like MN as it is.

PiccadillyCircus · 09/03/2005 16:57

Don't know/mind. And I'm 29

Snugs · 09/03/2005 16:57

phew - sorry, kids actually wanted some attention.

After a lot of scrolling up and down to find the answers:

No = Mumsnutter for 1.5+ years, but most more than 3 yrs
Yes = Mumsnutter for a year or less

(that's probably a lot more interesting than the age thing actually)

And I'm still bored.

tamum · 09/03/2005 16:58
