Yea, I have to agree.
I am a female gamer who has been gaming since I was 10.
I learned fine completely on my own.
I had to deal with different people and new things.
A dictionary and a good sense of humor comes a long way when learning about forums.
I think if kids want to participate in geocaching, it's easier for them to talk to and connect with adults who do it because if they interact with them more, they learn more, and they learn to do it for themselves.
But it's a nice idea to have their own forums.
Most of the time, if the kids are able enough to use the forums Groundspeak already has, they're probably able enough to interact with a few of the adults.
Maybe if I talk to him/her it might help.
