I'm going to weigh in with those who think the teens forum should be for teens only. Amandalouise pointed out there is a history behind the existence of these forums. They came into being because there was a need. I work with teens in the outside world. They need a place to talk with each other without what they perceive as "interference" from adults. I believe we should leave things as is.
For adults who feel badly about a teen post not getting any replies, how about PMing the poster?
Skeezyks, I see nothing "wrong" with a community liaison posting a welcome message to a new teen in the forum. Seems like that is part of your "job."
