It might just be me but I've realized...am I the youngest one here?
in the howntown topic it seems most of you are in college or older.
it this coreect?
because if so I feel strangly out of place because I am still in high school.
-
Nah. There are a bunch of younguns around these parts.
If we are doing ages, I am 67.
-
im 16, its weird not being the baby.. i liekd being the baby!
-
how old are you when you begin high school? this whole elementary middle school and high school stuff confuses me!
-
High school is usually for 13-14 to 17-18 year-olds.
-
oh i see so its our secondary school, because we dont have middle school we just have primary school!
-
I am 20. Though a lot of people think I am either a lot older, or a lot younger. Its weird.
Age doesn't mean a whole lot unless you make it that way. I have friends of all age ranges.
-
i am like 16
yes i got on the internets too young probably shut up
When'd you get on the internet? I started out on forums and such when I was 12, I'm 19 now.
-
to anwser you I'm 15.
-
20 as well
wait, hasn't Sam been 16 for the past 4 years?
-
I am also sixteen. I first got on a forum slightly less than a year ago and my first webcomic was C&H (Still a member of my old forum, no longer interested in explosm).
-
I'm 19. (Is this just going to become a list thread of our ages?)
-
yes.
-
17
-
20! I got started with the Internet when I was eleven, but I was doing chat rooms and not forums.
-
19
-
i will be sixteen and a half on the second of august. i have been using the internets since i was six because i am a gigantic nerd or something
-
Damn, I'm old. I turned 22 two weeks ago. :-(
-
21, 22 in exactly 4 weeks time.
-
22 in October, I guess I'm happy about this? I don't know.
-
19. I was scared of the internet at first but various places(like here) let me know it wasn't all goatse men.
-
This thread makes me feel depressingly old. I was born before the World Wide Web was invented, but after the internet. I remember having a TV that was only capable of accessing 13 channels, because that's all there was. There were no channel up/down buttons... just a row of buttons labeled 1-13, sort of like on an 8-track. And faux-wood paneling on the sides.
Guh.
-
we're going to make two lines. one line is for 17 and up, and everyone else gets in line in front of my bed.
-
It'd be better if your avatar was actually you.

I had one of those dials that would always fall off, so you'd have to use a pair of plyers to turn it. And then you had to position the rabbit ears just so.
I'm only 24. That's not so old, I didn't think
-
No, we're pretty close. It's just the kids that were born, like... after the Soviet Union broke up. The ones that honestly don't remember life without the web, or TV without The Simpsons. They make me feel like I should be collecting Social Security already.

I had one of those. it had like three dials on it, and maybe buttons for volume. Two were the picture and one was for channels. An you need an RF to hook things up to it.
-
Exactly! And, of couse it was just barely color, and had the awesome wood accenting on it. I loved it, despite how much I used to complain about it.
-
Hey, the Soviet Union still existed when I was born.
Hell, The Berlin Wall still existed when I was born.
-
man, are we doing this again?
24.
-
I think I have been using the internet since I was about 5-6, as I think I had cable by the time we got Starcraft, and we had the intrablags open before that.
Also, blah blah blah 18
-
Yeah, maps in my high school still had the USSR on them. That probably says more about the state of public schools in Australia than it does about my age, though.
(25)
-
I was born the year CERN released the world wide web!
-
I really don't understand why people post threads like this.
-
I was there when the wall came down.
-
I don't know what is worse;
An individual with 31 posts believes he is the youngest on a forum of 18 000+ and decides to make a thread about it,
Or that people with enough posts to recognise a potential list thread still post their age.
-
I am 14 and a half..Been foruming for about 4 years. Think that makes me the youngest person who has answered this thread (and told the truth) ?
-
you really use halves?

Guys, I haven't even been born yet.
I will be born in 2012 in Salem, Massachusetts to a rather wealthy family. This will be a fortuitous occurrence as they will have used their considerable money to have ensured my genetics to be nothing less than perfect. I will have started reading before I was even a year old and move onto college textbook by the age of 9. By 16, I will have two PhDs (Physics and Mathematics) and have proved the Riemann hypothesis, guaranteeing my work in academia to be constant and fruitful for the rest of my life. When I will be 22, my work in combining the internet into a physical presence will stumble upon a previously unknown phenomenon, that energy is constant and has "memory" so to speak such that everything that has ever been transmitted through electricity or light still exists in some form and could be easily retrieved and made physical again. Through this phenomenon, I will truly observe the internet and use it to create a machine capable of traversing through the entire history of the "memory" of the energy, which I will then use to converse with the people of this forum for the past 4 years, establishing myself as a regular fixture, just so my words have weight when I say
This thread sucks.
-
People who want their ages known can put it in their profiles; and people who want to know can look there.

And so, we can see how even the lamest of threads can grow up to contain the best post ever.

lol wut?
I'm still 16 until the 23/10.
-
guys, its my birthday in less than a month.. you better all be getting me presents!
i think im gonna have a bouncy castle for my 18th next year, bouncy castles and alcohol = fun right?
-
In a month I will have known you for a month! (that is a "no")
Also, bouncy anything + alcohol generally equals vomit!
-
Oh! Why hello there new page.
How you doin?
-
yeah i have that fear of gawk everywhere.. but i like bouncy castles :D
-
I'll be 19 in October.
Anyways, your age doesn't matter, how mature you are matters.
A bouncy castle for your 18th birthday sounds neat, but isn't there usually an overall weight limit and/or number limit for them?
-
Anyways, your age doesn't matter, how mature you are matters.
I love this sentiment. Mostly because it is only ever written or spoken by teenagers who are fed up with other teenagers. I said something similar many times as a teen. Then, suddenly, just before I turned 20 I developed this terrible dread. I wasn't going have that "teen" in my age. My identity as an adult would be inevitable at that point. It was scary. So a friend of mine bought me a squirt gun for my birthday and told me to grow up on my own terms. So what is maturity really? I rent my own place, I'm a leader in my church, and I sit in an office for 8 hours a day. I also listen to rock music way too loud sometimes and I carry a pirate lunch box to work every day.
-
I'm not fed up with teens at all. I just meant it as as long as one knows what jokes and posts are appropriate at what times, your age doesn't matter on a forum. It especially matters here when you're a new user and nobody's quite sure of your personality. You have let people get used to you before doing certain things.
-

That depends on how much fun you think cleaning up vomit off of bouncy castles is.
-
thats a whoel eyar away... i might change to toga party by then!
-
I hate this thread and I hate all of you!
Just kidding. I don't really hate this thread...
(Yes I do)
-
maybe you hate because you're afraid to love. We love you.
-
News just to hand: kids these days sure are easy.
-
I may be older than most of the people who have posted their ages in this thread, but I am not old. Possibly too old for this thread, though. And it's okay to hate this thread, Chuck. Be proud and keep on hating.
-
22, i woke up a couple days ago and my back cracked. I think I'm falling apart.
-
psh, my knees had gone to hell by eight or nine years old and I could crack my neck by ten, my back started spazzing in seventh grade and my left ear has audibly lost it's upper range over the last few months.
-
sorry for the useless thread I. :cry:
Just I saw the hometown thread and a bunch of people saying "blah,blah,blah oh and heres were I go to college" and this isn't exactly what most would call a "10 or under" comic, so I was just curious of the general age group.
again sorry for that, my bad. :-(

I am 28. Soon I will be celebrating my 29th birthday in the Arctic (http://www.luontoon.fi/page.asp?Section=5076).
Hell yeah.

Don't worry about it. It's just that this has been done before and people generally don't like list threads in this subforum. We're just ornery. ;)
I am 22, btw. I generally get mistaken for a high schooler (bluh) and can simultaneously feel like I'm 10 and 50.
-
on the subject of age, just today yet anther person mistook me for being far older than I am. This has happened quiet a lot since I started uni, and the really odd thing is that ever time it happens I'm mistaken for 24, always 24. (I am, in fact, 20)
-
I'm 55.
But I'm young at heart.
Wanna come to a party? There'll be some special drinks there!
-
You are the bitchin'est 55-year-old I ever knew, Pete.
Also didn't we already establish that in just the same way that est is the oldest person here because he is older than time or whatever, Sam is the youngest just because it is that way? I guess what I am saying for this thread is that Sam is the only youngest forumite who matters.
-
I'm 20, and have been online for quite a long time. I remember sownloading shareware from the University of Michigan's FTP server, some 1996-era Nick.com, getting Playstation cheat codes from some website that probably doesn't exist anymore... all on a Power Mac 7200 with a 28.8k modem. Good times. We still have both.
Oddly enough, the first thing of any significance that happened after I was born (according to Wikipedia, anyway) was the Max Headroom incident (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Headroom_pirating_incident).
-
Guh. I'm 24. You all make me feel old.
I got my first computer when I was 8. That thing still has AOL 1.0 on it. I was writing papers in elementary school on it and printing them out, dot matrix style.
I'm an OG. Original Geek. Word.
-
I first programmed a computer at university in 1966 (like, really before the Internet, or even ARPAnet*, was invented) as part of my Engineering Science degree. But there's an older member here who is a computer geek - he could have started before then.
* mind you, ARPAnet was being designed at that time, and reached initial implementation in 1969.
-
I know my father first saw ARPAnet in a lab at the University of Michigan in 1972 or 1973. I was about a decade away then, but I do vaguely remember having a modem that required placing the handset from the telephone down on these 2 little circles.
-
An acoustic modem?
I'm 18! That means I'm an adult and as such I'm responsible for my own actions. Shit!
-
An acoustic modem?
I've never actually seen one, but I get a kick out of people not knowing modems started out like this:
(http://www.mynewoffice.com/pcmuseum/star137.jpg)
You know how dialup modems are plugged into your phone line and make weird dinging and crackling noises? Well, really old modems didn't even connect directly to a phone jack, and made their noises into a phone cradled against their speakers.

Yes, although my first real programming was done in 1973, which was the first time I was close to a computer I could get to. It was a Honeywell H600 (later I moved on to a Honeywell H6000). I had gotten interested in computers in 1964, but they were all hidden behind locked doors. I did write a heck of a lot of code in various languages over the years (Languages (http://www.celticgeek.com/languages.html)). And most of it written on teletype machine keyboards.
And moving on to DEC PDP machines, Vaxen, and others. I actually didn't get a person computer until 1992, since I had such powerful machines at my disposal at work.
Good times, those.
Ah, yes, acoustic modems,dot-matrix printers, punch cards, FORTRAN, BASIC, COBOL, I remember these.
-

Ah well, I had been earning my crust by programming for three years by then (I left my first job as a studio manager at the BBC to do it).
-

I meant that I can actually hear the difference in pitch every time my ear rings. :laugh:
But, while everything I said was technically true, I'm not actually out of shape. Yay for that!
-
we're going to make two lines. one line is for 17 and up, and everyone else gets in line in front of my bed.
Signatuuure!
And I'm 16. and ashamed of it. I go all over the webs and I feel so immature. When I don't remember that half of the people writing "thIs sucksorz you faggot" on youtube videos is 20+
-
i turned 16 a few weeks ago!
(i started the internets at about 11.)
