If you want to run and expand this place, you have to decide which user group you want to address and then act accordingly....
My observation on several forums is that the vast majority of newcomers to OS7-9 comes from Gen-Z. My observation also is that most of them tend to 'grab and run away' with anything they can get their hands on (torrents, file vaults etc.) and only subscribe to forums when they need tech support or to request even more "goodies".
And here lies the dilemma - you have to decide which group you want to serve. You can't please them all.
I disagree. If what you're writing is correct then "Gen Z" will only join a forum to download stuff and then leave, never contributing anything. The other group will join despite there being no downloads, or the downloads being available publicly (like on Macintosh Garden).
So a non-issue. The group we're "serving" is the group that has a interest in Mac OS 9. There's no "we" or "them" here.
