I'm 19, and I joined the site when I was 18. My birthday was in August, actually :)

Old enough. When people know your age they tend to categorize you, so I usually don't bother telling anyone my age.

Usually those kind of comments come out of religion/politics threads. Which I kind of wish could make their way off of this forum.

But, it does spark the opportunity for interesting debate/conversation among the mature members of the community.

Happy late birthday!
Wooo, thanks :) I wasn't here then because I was on holiday in Cornwall for that week.

True, i tend to avoid threads that have a basic age bias, for example Halo thread tend to have the youngest participants. Not to say that ALL halo threads are like that, just an example.
Just thought I'd mention, I'm quite a Halo fanboy and I often stay away from Halo threads too for that reason. Plus there's always so much flaming in Halo threads. Fine, despite being a self-confessed fanboy, I don't actually mind if people don't like Halo. I just wish they'd actually play it or read the books themselves and have their own opinion, then comment, instead of flaming "because it's cool".

I'm 16. And I've only seen a handful of racist/homophobic/sexist threads since I've been here.

I am 18, though I will be 19 in...thirteen days. On the 19th day, although you can see it from my profile. I will be expecting something epic that day, as it has so many nines in it. Maybe I'll go and have a drink or two to celebrate it. Hmmm...anybody want to go too, it's not cool to drink alone.

why do people care about the ages of random people on the web? you are never going to meet them, ever so it really doesn't matter.


oh and I'm 14

Funny, did a search but that didn't come up. Oh well.

If you are a child you are not in a position to judge the childishness of yourself or others, much as you may think you are. All teenagers think they are mature, it is the nature of the beast. And yes, I know you're going to argue with that, but trust me. A well as a huge amount of literature to back that up I have the benefit of being able to to look back at my own teens.

As for my qualifications: I do have a psychology degree, as well as being a teacher and having read many, many forums on a wide range of subjects since the mid 90s. I just reached the grand age of 40 years old, which makes me old enough to be most of you's parent.

The most interesting thing about the Escapist forums to me, then, is not the level of inexperience about the world in general and human nature in particular but the level of competence in writing from most.

Are you seriously saying that people here are immature? This is one of the best places I know of for a serious discussion on the internet. Your description seems apt for 4chan and the like, but people here seem to be mostly mature and I have read many interesting debates on here.

I'm 15 by the way.
Pretty much this. I myself have traveled into lesser forums than these and I quickly found my mind being blown by the off the charts level of stupidity.
