I have noticed, in my browsings of Terry's "Talk Origins" site, that "Young Age" seems to have become a more preferred term, to replace "Young Earth".

This may be in recognition that some creationist postulations involve a different apparent or real ages for the earth and the rest of the universe. I think this is part of Humphreys' Starlight and Time scenario. Nevertheless many creationists seem to struggle to find an acceptably broad term to encompass most of themselves. I think this is due to the disparity of theological and "scientific" evidences which they are prepared to accept and those which they reject and their interpretations of the literal meaning of bible passages. And "old age creationism" might simply be idiocyncratic to those creationists on that board and not be an endorsed party line.
