holy sh!t i must have the biggest "getting older" complex ever

i will be 26 this year, and it KILLS me to realize i will be that old...

yet i see all the people here older than that, who are perfectly happy, and it makes me realize it's not that bad

so, for all you "old folks" (geekbabe, i can't believe you're almost 50... my mom was 34 and my dad was 48 when i was conceived) i hope you don't give a rats ass about yer age!

And I know what you mean too. The ones getting offended were not here in the "good-ole days" so they have no clue about the overall attitude of the forums. I see this on all the forums I used to frequent; the maturity level that is most present is that of young highschool aged teens.

Are there forums for more mature people that you other adults go to? PM me a link if you have one.

I'd like to know as well. It seems like everyday, we acquire more and more 13 year olds into this board.

You aren't alone,I can scarcely believe it myself. Btw,I tease the young people here but I actually like teenagers.

24 here. I suppose I can consider myself an adult now.

That doesn't mean I have to act like one! :p

If you call being 26 an adult, yes :D

I have noticed there are lots of little boys here, though.

Sadly, I have to echo this...(I wish I would get carded for alcohol once, my dad still does and he's not quite 50...it's sad :( )

40 here. I think the maturity comes and goes on this forum. There are moments where there seems to be a lot of immature posts, but those youngsters who did post, usually get bored and move on.

36 here. I wish I was a "script kiddie." Maybe some of my aches and pains would go away. :p
