I am 52. I'll be 53 in May and have been playing about 5 to 6 years.

I was wondering how many of you can beat that.

Whaaaat?
Older people showing good taste?! But this goes against everything I have come to learn of this world! ;_;

Quick, start making claims that Bratz promotes prostitution, show fascination for World War 2 planes, complain daily about taxes, anything to restore the mindboggling generation gap!

For the record, I'm 15...

it's so strange, I'm used to forums and such where 18 is considered really old and mature compared to everyone else!

No, I think there's someone who's 8 or 9.

Well, I know for a fact that there was, but I don't think they still are that age. Good chance that there's someone new at that age.

One thing I like about this forum is that there's a good range of ages, interacting in a (relatively) smooth fashion. Sure, the younger forum goers are occasionally immature, and the older ones occasionally complain about how in their youth they didn't have any of these newfangled computers and had to play DROD on typewriters, but overall it's working well.

I myself am in the median age range, being 31.

Heh, that just reminded me of this YouTube video of Jeopardy! in Washington D.C., in which there was a replica of the Lincoln memorial statue with a signaling button in Lincoln's hand.

Don't diss the typewriters; it was a great upgrade from the days of sticks'n'bones DROD... ah, I was so glad whenthey took out the Undo feature (which involved a huge, lawyer-eating tyrannosaurus that walked all over our playing field).

I've known folks in their late fifties and up to seventy-five on other boards, so don't worry, you've got plenty of competition. So, 'live long and prosper'! Like Mick Jagger.

Very interesting stuff. It's good to know that we have a good mix of folks playing DROD and using the forum.

Looks like Fre3d is the leader for now.

And playing DROD on typewriters was to diffcult. Movement was fine but swinging the sword was tricky.

You are 16 going on 17
Fellows will fall in line
Eager young lads
And grueways and cads
Will offer you fruit and wine

Totally unprepared are you
To face a world of men
Timid and shy and scared are you
Of things beyond your ken

You need someone
Older and wiser
Telling you what to do
I am 17 going on 18
I'll take care of you...


I'm actually 18, 19 in April.

Wow, that's pretty old - I'm pretty sure the square root of 225 was around when the universe was created.

Fair enough

Although negative numbers have never existed... but yeah, I misunderstood the comment.
