Q: Hello Advicenators Administration,

I'm one of the columnist on your site. It's been a lot of fun, and I think you provide a great service. Alas, I'm wondering if you know of another website that offers the same kind of great opportunity to be a columnist but is more geared toward adults; there seem to be a lot of teenagers on this site.

Thank you!

Sincerely,

Robert.

We're technically geared towards everyone, we've just had trouble recruiting adults. Get some friends of yours to join... I'm an adult and wish there were more of us here, really I do, but I can't seem to get them here.

I don't know of sites like ours, that's why I started this one.

Rating: 5

Of course. One possible solution is to simply add another link entitled "for adults", or conversely, "teen spot". In this way advertising a particular category will create or increase a market for it, i.e., an adult searching for such a service will type into their browser the words "adult/columnist" resulting in a link to Advicenators! Maybe you've tried that, I don't know.

In any event, you've done a fantastic job and I appreciate the service you provide. It's a good thing! And very creative, too! Thank you for answering my inquiry (question).

Robert.

bio

This advice column is for suggestions, comments, or error reporting about advicenators. If you'd like to suggest a new category, ask me a question. If you'd like to whine, bitch, or complain about advicenators, you may whine, bitch, or complain to me.

Three rules though:
1) Do not ask me for life advice. We have several thousand other members that do that.

2) Do not ask for help, or ask how to do something, or ask about
how something on the site works, unless you've read every word of our help pages and you're sure it's not addressed there.

3) Do not ask me to ban someone or investigate abuse. We have an entire abuse system set up for that.

If you disobey one of these rules, I'll delete your question.

Some guidelines about suggestions:
If you offer a suggestion that I find interesting, I might just ignore your question so it stays in my inbox as a reminder of something to do. Don't be upset that I don't answer you, and don't delete your questions (because then I'll forget!)

If you have three suggestions, please ask three separate questions, that way I can address each one individually. It's a real pain when people ask one question with like twenty different topics in it; I can't keep them straight.
