Chaos has no age, it's eternal!

no, at 36, I don't feel too old to be on this particular forum, but it is really the only forum I'm a regular member of. I just like the variety of topics and people here. The age differences add to that.

I've practically grown up on these forums, and at 20 years old now I don't think I'll ever stop coming. There are lots of "old" people here. Infact I think that's why I like the CD so much. All the young folk stick around the game boards, while everybody else hangs around here.

Never. I have posted on forums almost daily since 1999. When we are all old farts and waiting out the rest of our lives in retirement homes, at least we can still sit and troll the young'ins on internet forums.

Epic avatar. I could almost envision a fat sonic struggling to type that message with each keystroke gasping for breath. It actually made me read the thing slower subconsciously. Awesome. Hahahah.

I can definitely sympathize. I'm only 18, and I feel the same way already (and have for a while). Almost everyone on every other internet forum is a moron. I hate memes, internet expressions and mannerisms, etc. I'm just hoping that it will eventually have a higher age for its average user eventually since the internet is a fairly new invention.

I've never felt too old (although I am only 23). But I do have to stop myself from correcting spelling - I'm not sure if that's just me getting old or if I'm just a word nerd. Probably both. I see it as a massive credit to the Beth games that you get people of all ages joining the forums. The only time I feel embarrassed about my gaming habits is when my Mum comes over and eyes my games with that "aren't you going to grow up soon?" look. I'd never tell her I joined a games forum

Heh, I know that feeling...


It's ok, kiddo! :hugs:


(I still hate that damn hug emote. It just lingers that little bit too long...)

Someone should edit it so the one being hugged opens his eyes and looks uncomfortable

Can't be too difficult. The face he's making at the start looks rather apt for the end too.

I feel new here all the time. I joined when I was 15 and I too have come pretty far as well. I find that a lot of people here tend to be around my age and even the ones that aren't tend to be more mature than other forums. I only sometimes venture to other forums, none of them videogame related, and there is a lot more trolling going around and its more often than not older people doing it. So it's not typically an age group that is affecting the forum experience but rather people don't really care what their online persona looks like because they can change it in 5 minutes anyways.

I'm too old to give a crap what I "should" be doing "for my age".

I'm 44 and my parents know I play video games and never look at me weird. In fact, when I'd play Morrowind and my dad would come in and see me playing he'd say "Taunt him! Taunt him!" I'd be like, "Dad, he's an ally, or non-threatening character." He'd say, "So! Taunt him anyway!" Would crack me up.

Edit: No, I don't live with my parents, we have 2 houses on this property and I'm in the front house.

No, you learn something new everyday.
Sometimes I read things that make me profoundly sad, though.

I'm 43 and I'm here! :flamethrower:

Aw hell no!

Don't make me drop mah shorts and moon y'all!!

Too old... cheez, kid was born when ah wuz gettin mah third stripe and going to guns & roses concerts with youngsters..





now git off of mah lawn!


:P
needless to say -yet I will, of course, I refuse to either act my age, or look it, according to my current GF B)

The whole "This forum is mature/well behaved" comes up often, and is something I generally disagree with. It definitely isn't the only well-behaved forum I am aware of, and I've always felt that the "maturity" on here are primarily due to how absolute the rules are and how much they are enforced. All hot topics are forbidden. Maturity can only be proven when you have the chance to show maturity, which, given the restricted topics, isn't the case here IMO.

Don't get me wrong, I do like it here, hence I come back, but I also like it on other forums that I frequent where those topics aren't forbidden and don't devolve to flame-wars. IMO the rules prove that this forum has a lack of maturity (and therefore needs to be kept in check) rather than a level of maturity.

And no, I don't feel old on the Internet at all. I generally make an assumption that everyone is around the same age as me, until stated otherwise.

How would you know if we could have civil discussions in subjects which are prohibited if they are indeed prohibited?

Wasn't there a thread about that not so long ago?


Heck we get some threads locked on discussions on lore, some people just go to far , personally I don't discussions on prohibited topics. I would too steamed up in those topics.

Sure sometimes I do make threads about stuff I need step by step instructions , well I have improved greatly from my first thread. I was speaking 1337 speak and had HORRID grammar. Within about a couple months I was a great speller because some people complained they couldn't understand me. All thanks to opera spell check constant bugging :thumbsup:

DEFRON, I'd say this forum in particular, though, has a higher than average number of people who are mature.

But there are so many bad seeds on a forum of this size that we still need rules.

But then again, that's why we have spinoff forums, like BGSFans.

Maybe I don't pick loser forums, but my experience is not indicative of that being true. My two other main forums have over 100,000 members as well :shrug:

I'm 19. I guess I'm a "kid" to some of you old farts older folks. I feel like I should be doing something else, but at the moment that isn't really the case. Any time I am doing "nothing" recently I savor, then bask in it.

I feel young compared to most of you, I joined a month (or two) before my 13th birthday and it's been a little more than a year since then. Everyone else is old

If you want to see some immaturity, go on over to the Warcraft forums. I assure you that you will walk out a angry person.
