I just saw this thread and can only say "it's about time." I don't come here that often, but I do recall that right when I first discovered BF at all was just when the 50+ forum was added, so does that make me a "charter member?" And how many years ago was that, anyway? (The previous question gives me my 65+ bona fides, as I obviously have the CRS condition that so many of us suffer from!)

But in any case, like some similar forums I belong to (such as runners' forums for "Masters", defined as 40+), at 65+ there's almost a generation's worth of gap to the youngest members of the forum. So sometimes we don't all have as much in common as we do within a narrower age range. I was even chastised in a runners' forum for always going on about how great it is to be able to run (and bike) any time I like on weekdays, forgetting that most of the others in the forum are not retired. Probably no danger of that in this thread.

So, short of having a forum to ourselves, I will probably return to visit this thread more often!
