Yes it has. A 13 year old, such as myself, can have as much talent as Dan
Jassim or Mark Sandlin has. However, younger teens are not always allowed to
have jobs in certain states, therefore cannot buy enough LEGO to make
something as large or as good as an older person.

The size of a collection or a MOC has no relevance on the number of replies it
receives...People respond to posts of unique, interesting models that look cool
or do cool things. You can’t expect everyone to get excited over yet another
small fighter or microfig ship that looks pretty much the same as something
posted by a different person the day/week/month before. Mladen Pejic, Kyle
Keppler, JHK and some other teens who frequent this group don’t have large
collections, yet they have put together some amazing MOCs.
Taking good photographs of your MOCs really helps too. If I can’t see what your
MOC is supposed to be, I’m not going to comment on it. I realize that a good
camera can be expensive. I too started out sharing all my creations through CAD
renderings. If that is the only way you can share your MOCs, spend some time
figuring out how to create good renderings. It’s a bit time consuming, but the
results will be worth the effort.
IMO, the main reason ‘old-timers’ might get more responses is because people
short on time (ie, most adults with jobs and many students) skim the newsgroups
quickly for names they recognize and associate with quality MOCs. They might
skip over other posts, especially if they link to unmoderated Brickshelf
galleries with no deep-links to pics. Blurry or enormous pictures are not worth
the time they take to download.
I hope that helps...

I know I'll get maybe one or two replies, so therefore I don't waste my time. I have proven this. (...) I (...) (21 years ago, 12-Jun-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)
