Probably, but they just don't want to admit it. I remember lying about my age online all the time when I was that young.
There was no online when I was that age.

OK, there was, but it was AOHell. Or Prodigy, which I remember well. Both of which may as well have not existed :P.

Then again, I remember the Tandy monochromes and had an Atari SuperPong.

Anywho, I'm going along with the plurality with regards to my age. I started looking at the site in middle school, signed up for the board while I was in college.

Seriously though...most kids would fake their age just to get on some boards. Even I did that when I was young.

Even with the age limit...there really isn't anything strong enough to prevent kids below the right age to join the forums.

I have you beat, I signed up when I was just entering middle school, at 12 and a half.

Exactly 18. I joined this place just three days shy of my 17th birthday, though I was aware of it for quite some time before that.

You know...it is hard for us to guess most people age group from their post at times.

I always THINK Spanky is a teenager around 18...and a few other members to be...older. Like in their 40s and above.

Something about Libertarianism always bothered me. Then one day, I realized what it was:
Libertarian philosophy can be boiled down to the phrase, "Work Will Make You Free."


In Libertarianism, there is no Government, so the Bosses are free to exploit the Workers.
In Communism, there is no Government, so the Workers are free to exploit the Bosses.
So in Libertarianism, man exploits man, but in Communism, its the other way around!

40, and like I've said before, I knew I was getting old when I'd see some teenager at the mall with her family and think 'Wow! Her Mom is hot.' :D

I realized I was getting old the day that I was playing WoW and grouped with a person who could have been my child.

:cry:

I don't play WoW anymore, for the record.

20. I always felt like a kid whenever using any sort of board or forum.

I'm never sure whether I feel older or younger than I really am. It's seems to be contextual. My actual age is 22, anyhow. I feel young while socialising, and extremely old and cynical when talking about things like the state of credit card debt in the US et alia.

Which, seeing as I'm scarcely an adult, is probably a very bad sign.
