How Old Are You?

[Kizzikat]

How old is everyone here? I know this might have been asked before, but I did do a search and couldn't find anything. so if it has, don't sue me, ok?

[Sebatianos]

No one will sue you. I voted, but I guess if you really want to find out, you can look into the profile of a member. Most of us did give all the info. Also when a member has a birthday, you can se just how old he/she became that day - at the bottom of the Abandonia Forums.
But how come you didn't say how old you are?

[Kizzikat]

Because I am really, really old. I was curious more about a general demographic, than a specific person. You know, if it was mostly teenagers, dirty old men, something in between.

[Sebatianos]

So old???
You're in the same age group as I am - oldtimer :whistle:

[Kon-Tiki]

20, chronologically.

[Reup]

Just turned 28...

But out of curiosity
If Abandonia turned out to be filled with Dirty Old Men, Would you be
A. pleased
B. disgusted
C. excited
D. indifferent
about this?

And none of this talk about being really really old. This is a classic gaming site, so no matter how old you are, you're obiously feeling young!

But on the other hand it's a classic gaming site, so the very young must be feeling a bit old ...

The birthday thingy isn't reliable - someone the other week apparently turned 4 - methinks they might've been lying on their profile!

[xoopx]

that poll should have every age as a choice.
im 30, and im not clicking on anything that makes me feel 34

[Kon-Tiki]

Or 25 ;)

[Puffin]

I'm 17.

I sometimes argue with people about my age.. I often lose.
That's sad.
But I don't think age really matters. I have friends of all age.

[auhsor]

Well I'm about 19 and 34 days... I counted them earlier today :)

[Lizard]

A I am seventeen look like twenty,and sometimes I fell like sixty :blink:

[Koen]

17, nothing more, nothing less, honestly...

*ponders the question* I pick "D", indifferent.

[Koen]

Since Reup said dirty old men LOL , I would say B, if they weren't so dirty, I would probably choose D.

[Kizzikat]

I don't really care how dirty they are. They're on the other side of a screen, and most likely on the other side of the world as well.

[Omuletzu]

18

I would chose A.It would mean that grandmas and granpas has FINALLY begun to play PC games and dont look at them as Devils work...

[Omuletzu]

Abandonia should be filled with old men.Because they are the people that lived the DOS period.We young bucks are just people that caught the bug in the last minute.

[Kon-Tiki]

Actually, that'd be 20-30 year olds. Older than that'd mostly be C64, Vic 20, Atari and other older computers. The time they went to Dos games, they weren't really kids anymore.

[Omuletzu]

well yes, but they are old, from my perspective ;)

[DeathDude]

19 for now, although I'll be 20 next month.

[unclefester]

I wish I was older in order to have the pleasure of playing all these games on all these formats... :(
(Or games started being published now ;) )

[Calamity]

I'm currently 20, that changes in December though.

Don't forget about us dirty old women. :P

[FlightorFight]

17 going on 18 :bye:

[ReamusLQ]

<whistles>I am sixteen doing on seventeen... :whistle:

[Kon-Tiki]

Why're all teens saying which age they're going to? It's... remarkable.

To make us feel older duh! It's like a little kid saying "I'm almost six!" when you ask their age :D

[FlightorFight]

Because I'll be 18 in a few days :bleh:

[Koen]

Yeahyeah, like "I'm almost 80" :cry:

[taikara]

I'm 25 (just turned). It sucks I'm in a new bracket on the poll :(

Such is life, though, hehe.

I started gaming at age 6. Uber-geek, whee.

Anyone remember this slogan:

How you gonna do it? PS2 it!!

:D

[Kon-Tiki]

Never heard of it, but still lively remember the ads that used this slogan:

"Don't underestimate the power of Playstation <whisper>Playstation!</whisper>"

[TaloN]

18 last week :)

[Calamity]

I know I put what I was turning because it scares the hell out of me. :P

[troop18546]

I will be 16 this April 11th. So I'll age myself and say that I'm 16. (15+) :D

[rainwife]

23 (24 in June) :whistle:

[The Levitating Nun]

I'm 16 in age. But about 83 in cynicism

[madcrow]

19, here. i remember the good old days before the f-ing ESRB ratings and stuff, and all the goreat games that came out during that period. i remember being allowed to play doom when i was 8 or 9...

[Grinder]

14. turning 15 in september. i didn't know what the heck doom was until i was 13 and found it on dosgames.com. first i thought it might be too brutal, but what did i know;)

[Tulac]

I'm 16 the biggest age group on Abandonia, And Kizzikat there are some khm very old(wait's for a slap from those members) members, but also some very young, it's the age difference that also makes this forum so diverse...

[DeathDude]

Agreed having different age groups allow different perspectives on a large variety of topics, it makes the forums that much more interesting.

[Partizanka]

I'm 19 now, although I am senior in skill and experience to most people I work with, which sometimes makes me feel very old.

[wormpaul]

i`m 21 :angel:

[Fawfulhasfury]

14(15 in April) :evil:

[Gun Man]

15 but i play dos games since 1992 :cheers: (I born with my computer at my side LOL)...without forgeting of my commodore 64(well it was from my uncle)

I hadn't really thought about it before, but it's not like you have to tell everyone the next age you will be. I mean, it's never going to be "I'm 18, next birthday 23, the birthday after that, 14...." :D

[dragonLancer]

14 :D ive been gaming since i was born :max: (literaly) my dad was a huge game fan so natuarly i am :D (and i LOVE IT)

[Iron_Scarecrow]

I'm 17, I've been told I look 19, and I've been told I act 12. :Brain:

I can't figure it out.

[YMIHere]

I'm 21. Apparently, I used to wake my parents up by loading up Alleycat when I was four years old. The sad part is, I probably knew more about DOS back then. =P

[TheVoid]

18, but not for too long :D

I don't think 20 makes you a "dirty old woman", however dirty and female you are.

Not there yet is true (:phew:), I just feel too old when I'm in places where the majority is 14-15 (though I'm rather sure here is not one of those places).

Me, dirty? Never... :angel:

[Rogue]

I'm surprised that 10 of us are in range 25-34. Well, I’m 32, and born in August.

[Danny252]

I am no longer in the bottom group and can no longer lie about my age when registering! w00t! I am no longer born in '89 ^^

[Omuletzu]

I believe many older members refrain from voting, as i'm sure the majority of this site's members are above 30, or at least above 20

[xoopx]

ive been playing games since before you guys were born!

MAKE A PILGRIMAGE TO THE CAVE OF THE VIDEOGAME ORACLE

[troop18546]

Youre over 50 I presume? :blink:

[Mad-E-Fact]

They only want you when you're seventeen, when you're twenty-one, you're no fun... :cry:

[Robster]

14 (15 in April)

Are you sure you wont be 13 in April? Or 16? How can you be so sure you'll turn 15?

wow, ladytron. damn fine record - i heard that on BBC 6 Music (http://www.bbc.co.uk/6music) the other day and I'd forgotten how good it was.

[Danny252]

Im aging either too fast or too slow..
why does everyone who meets me on the net and dosen't know my age assume I am 3/4 years older than I am?

[BeefontheBone]

take it as a compliment, mate. much better than them thinking you're younger!

Cause you're too smart for a normal 13 year old. Hell you could be smarted than me.


EDIT LOL See I can't even spell smarter. LOL

[Ajax]

I just turned 23. It's an age that doesn't get much attention, but I like it. I'm old enough to be considered a responsible adult, but not old enough to be truly responsible. Fun age... :D

Heh, unbelievable. I would've never expected someone here to recognize that line. ;) Cool track, infact the best one from Ladytron IMO, especially the Soulwax mix. :ok:

sorry for offtopic... *hides*

Well, I'm 33 and I don't know anyone who'd describe me as truly responsible. :P
