    Seriously. I've been reading the boards, going over a lot of threads and I see one thing in common: everyone seems to be a teen. Where are all the older folks at? Do they even exist? Hell, I'm 27 and I feel like a damn old fart at these boards at times.

    It's threads like this that get me to thinking this way:

    Example 1
    Example 2

    It's not that I have something against teens or anything, but I just can't understand the overwhelming number of them at this site. What gives?

    It's technology. Kids don't go out and play like we did. They all have laptops, digi cameras, ipods, and picture phones. I had my bike, my basketball goal, my neighbors fort, and my friends trampoline. Meh...

    Would you expect a 30-50 year old surfing the forums? they have to support themselves with jobs...

    i think the main reason is beacause the teens are more dispose to do this sort of things. we have started in a era of new tech and everyone has a computer.. so its kind natural to see very teens here. for example im 16, but i like this.. why? i share the basic motive of others: well i have started very young to use a computer. and when i got Net, one of the things i were amazed at, were the signatures and the graphics i could find in some sites. amazing pieces of art! i wanna be like them.. now im in school, in a arts course, to be architecht, and i found this site to offer me what i wanted: ppl with extreme graphics capabilty and, i all good ppl, disposed to help us. for example, i remember when i first post my introduction, ppl where very kind, even if they werent wining posts and credits with that. the other main thing to be so many teens around here is the fact this is a site well turned to games..and you must admit, teens all play games ^_^ stay well ppl
