I have a client with a department geared exclusive toward youth. This client asked for my opinion on what sort of Message Board to use on the website I've been creating for them. I was kind of shocked by this question. Believe it or not, I actually can remember the last time I embedded a message board. It was for a sight geared toward women in their late 40's. Message Boards have long since had their day in the sun, but is the proverbial pendulum about to swing back that way? Before I answered my client, I checked with my assistant Kristen. Barely being out of her teens herself, Kristen has kept her finger on the pulse on what captivates the youth of the day. So, I asked her, "Would teenagers be interested in a message board on a website?" The answer may shock you.

So, what is the common factor? What should a good design contain regardless of medium, location or demographic?
