Under 50 but have a hard time understanding the "cheating" part when you have a ton of non 50+ related threads in this section. Seems to me posting such material here is cheating the forums as a whole!
How about a "who is cheating the forums by posting non 50+ related material here?" poll? That would be interesting!
Going to turn the gun on me? Uuuh, I'm not the one accusing others of cheating!
Some of us enjoy all aspects of cycling and don't visit this forum looking to feel that we are invading a clique's gathering spot.

My sense of humor may come off as insulting to some if taken if the wrong way although it is not intended. Maybe it is your sense of humor (?) or I just don't understand your need to think we are cheating visiting a public forum, that's just as insulting. Why the need to know who isn't 50?

We do a lot of joking around here about those less than 50+, but all are welcome.
And, yes, my sense of humor is a bit dry. Most folks learn to not take much of anything I say seriously.
Sorry if you feel/felt insulted or excluded.
And, yes, the 50+ forum is sort of a mini all-encompassing forum.

How can anything posted by a 50+ person be non 50+ related?

I turned 50 in mid November. It took me this long to come to grips with it. OK not really, I am just glad to still be around and I have all my hair.

I'm 60. I remember responding here to a poll like this when I retired at 55 and took up cycling. Seems like last year. Time has really speeded up since retiring, but I wouldn't change a thing. I got 3 new grandsons since then, and a granddaughter due in March. Life is good.
