No, not really.
Since I was recently asked to present ID at the LCBO I'm clearly 25 or younger. :D
You must have been a very precocious 13-year-old indeed when you joined us here at SD.Net. (Well, not "us" exactly, since I apparently came on board a few days after you did.)
She's actually 2 years older than me. I'm not sure how much that helps since I'm also of the age where I've stopped aging. Which makes us both 28. :P

I'm 24. Joined when I was 20. For some reason, I thought it was earlier than that. Then again, probably because I'm still wrapping my head around the fact that high school was a quarter of my life ago.

I'm 29 though I had to stop myself from writing 28. I'm getting to the age where I had to actually think about what age I am and when I do think about it I tend to think I'm still whatever age I was last and will continue to do so until pretty close to my next birthday.

Only recently joined (though I'm relatively positive I've signed up before but probably got my account pruned by never posting) but have been a long time lurker. Stumbled upon the main site probably pre-2000 when doing a stone-age internet search for pics of star destroyers to draw (badly) and read through Darth Wong's Conquest story (which I printed out at 5 cents a page from my school library to read at home). Only later on did I go into the forums to lurk.

28 myself. I was 16 when I joined up (this is my alt-account). Me thinks average member age has gotten lot older. We dont have much activity or attract the young crowd anymore.

I tend to be more active on Facebook and elsewhere these days. Plus I'm just too busy doing other stuff in real life.

Yeah, I'm planning to transition directly from adolescence to my mid-life crisis.

18-joined when I was 13 and it feels like yesterday (even though I was incredibly awful back then).
El Moose Monstero: That would be the winning song at Eurovision. I still say the Moldovans were more fun. And that one about the Apricot Tree.
That said...it is growing on me.
Thanas: It is one of those songs that kinda get stuck in your head so if you hear it several times, you actually grow to like it.

37. Technically an Original Warsie as supposedly my dad took me to see it when I was a baby, so I was at least in a theater when it was originally showing in '77.

I still don't feel like an adult yet. And 20 somethings end up cowering in fear when they try to party with me. :lol:

Fun fact. I have newer seen any of the SW movies in a theater. Not even the new ones.
It has become clear to me in the previous days that any attempts at reconciliation and explanation with the community here has failed. I have tried my best. I really have. I pored my heart out trying. But it was all for nothing.

You win. There, I have said it.

Now there is only one thing left to do. Let us see if I can sum up the strength needed to end things once and for all.

All facts are fun, for knowing is half the battle.

32. Found the site based off an old SA article about RSA (I think that's him) about how batshit crazy his website was. Didn't really fit in much so I spent the better part of a decade lurking, but also because the old nerd site (Jedi-Outcast.com) I used to frequent went tits up. Other forums I posted on cared way more about style than substance.

Thinking back, I never understood the whole SW vs ST debate. It always seemed like a curb-stomp, but I guess reading the numbers showing how bad the stomp would be was interesting.

Anyways, I hung around for the attitude. If there's one thing this site had in spades, it was attitude.
