Age

[Dan Dare]

I was just thinking- having been here for a few years (on and off) since I did work experience (long shit days, internet access = post deluge.) I've certainly got alot older, changed a fair bit over the years and generally got more and more awesome.

but here comes the important bit: Has the forum aged with me? certainly we have a few older members (see the uni thread etc) but we've also lost a fair few old C-E members and such.


I recently turned 20 but how old is the forum on average?

[Yoshiking]

I'm 18.
Zing 10 character limit.

[mcj metroid]

i am 18 aswell.....................Is say most members are adults.Except triforce:D..lol only messing

[Eenuh]

21, to be 22 in February.
Thing is, I go to school with 18-19 year olds and unless I tell them, people think I'm just 18 too. I guess that's sorta a good thing, maybe. X3

[Strider]

Im 16, and joined these forums 1 year before C-E changed to R-E (I had quite afew name changes on C-E)

Of course it is, doesn't everyone want to look younger then the actually are? (other then 16 year olds trying to get a drink in a pub). Well I'm 20, which sucks as I can no longer use the excuse of being a teenager. Interesting theory about the forum growing up as the members grow up, however as soon as someone brings up the topic of masturbation that theory soon goes to hell.

[AshMat]

I'm 15, i joined up when i was 14 i think.

[BeerMonkey]

im 23 think was bout 18 when i joined (couple of months after the site started :))

[conzer16]

I am the same as Eunuh, 21, going to college with people younger than me.

I dont mind it so much. People do think i'm younger than I am though.

[Gaijin von Snikbah]

Im 26 and will therefore require a shrubbery from each.

lol wanking.

[Supergrunch]

I'm 17, but I joined up when I was 12...

[Cube]

I'm 18, joined when I was 13.

[Noodleman]

I'm 21, 22 next month I was 17 when I joined....

[Stocka]

16, joined up at CE when I was 14 I think.

[McMad]

I'm 15 in two weeks, and I joined up when I was 13 in the ending days of C-E.

[Mike]

I'm 23, and joined when the Freeloader was released, so I could trade Animal Crossing items with other people on the board. That was February 2003, so I was 19 at the time.

[Charlie]

I'm 17 and joined under another username when I was 13, then started Moria at 14 I think... Maybe it was 12 and 13 though, I can't remember.

[The Peeps]

I was 18 in September :)


Been here quite a while. Don't know how long it's been but it was quite soon after the name change to cube-europe. Didn't post anything for a long time though.

[Dan Dare]

Everyone seems older than I expected. I guess a lot of us have been here for some time.

[Sarka]

I am 15 now, I joined up when I was 13 as ballmonkey!

I don't think the forum has grown up, a lot of older people have gone and a lot of younger (acting) people have arrived. It will never age I don't think.

[LazyBoy]

I'm 17 and I joined up when i was either 13 or 14 (can't remember), under the name R-Master.

[The Bard]

I'm 17, and I've been visiting this site since I was 12, a few months before the cube came out. My old username was Psykopoo, I only posted in the comments sections back then though.

[Eddage]

I turned 20 back in September, so no longer have the luxury of being a teenager!

I think I joined C-E during E3 of last year so would've been 18.

[Jordan]

I'm 18, i joined here at 12.
Way... too...long...

[Katie]

I joined when I was 16 and I'm 18 now. I don't think I've changed much in that time, not in my posting anyway.

[Yoshiking]

For the record, I joined when my join date says I joined. A bit over a year ago. Didn't really start posting until about half a year after though.

[Shorty]

I'm 20 in under a month, I've been here way too long.

[Zell]

Me is 17 now, only joined up this year, but have been visiting the main site for well over a year now. Also, Sarka seems a lot younger than I thought he would be.

[Haden]

I am 20 baby and I joined here when I was 9 oh yeh Im a damn vietnam vetran.

[Stefkov]

wow lots of people older than me.
I think I joined here at 14 or 15, I'm now 16. I think i hovered round C-E for a while before joining.
Lol ask this question at the official Ninty forums.......

[Atomic Boo]

I turned 14 a week back

[JonSt]

I'm 18,19 in December.

I use to be such a happy guy, now im just a cynical, angry bastard.

[Caris]

Im 18 joined when revo-europe started, but ive been "spying" since the cube-europe days.

[Mike]

I'm surprised how young so many people here. I'm sure there must be some users who are nearer to my age, and older.

[Meik]

21, dawg.

I began playing Halo 2 with some of the members from here January last year, so I joined to trashtalk in the Halo thread.

[Charlie]

I'm 17, and I've been visiting this site since I was 12, a few months before the cube came out. My old username was Psykopoo, I only posted in the comments sections back then though.

We didn't have a comments section 5 years ago.

http://web.archive.org/web/20011020062943/http://www.cube-europe.com/index.html

Cube-Europe 5 years ago.

According to the Wayback machine I joined some time after March 2002, as that is the first design that I remember CE using.

And comments were added on 13th November 2002. A year ago yesterday!

[mtg101]

31 here...

[Dan Dare]

which brings us to the question: who's the oldest member? My moneys on Rokhed but it could be Mr 'Stomin Mormon' Odwin FTW. I'm not sure.

[martinist]

i'm 18, i was referred to this forum by Gaggle 64 and i joined when i was 17 i think that was a couple of months ago

[Mr_Odwin]

which brings us to the question: who's the oldest member? My moneys on Rokhed but it could be Mr 'Stomin Mormon' Odwin FTW. I'm not sure.

Cheek. Rokhed is way older than me. I'm a spritely 28. I joined Jan 2004 ... so that means I was 25. Either Rokhed is the oldest or Pigmarcher or Librarian. They seem older too.

[Charlie]

Bowser57 is quite old too, I think...

[Cubechris]

Bowser57 is quite old too, I think...

Nah, he is only 27.

As for me, I am 19, 20 in January (me and guy share the same birthday), I have been here since I was 15. I am not proud of this.

[Mr_Odwin]

Bowser57 is quite old too, I think...

Yeah, but still a whole year younger than me.

[gaggle64]

19, (20 in April). I think I joined a few months before CE became RE, though i didn't post much. In the time since, I've probably become less angry.

[Daniel]

same here, im 19 and 20 in april, dont know when i joined but ive been a regular visitor to the site since before the cube

[Blackfox]

I be 18, I think I joined CE when I was 14 or maybe 14. Been here too long, etc etc.

[Aimless]

I'm 20 and joined C-E about 4 or 5 years ago — I lurked for a bit before posting.

I don't really think I've changed in that time, to be honest; I've always been this annoying.

As for the forum itself, I'd say the average age has gone up a few years but the atmosphere hasn't really changed that much. It's a bit more mature, but still a teenager at heart.

[The3rdChildren]

I lurked like fuck before I imported a GameCube and joined like late November 2002 to post some Zelda Wind Waker impressions from the Jap version. The rest is terrible history.

[Dan Dare]

Cheek. Rokhed is way older than me. I'm a spritely 28. I joined Jan 2004 ... so that means I was 25. Either Rokhed is the oldest or Pigmarcher or Librarian. They seem older too.

ah OK then. I had you down mentally as in your 30s for some reason. Probably the whole married man about town thing...

[Solo]

I am an elderly 20, although I look about 18. I still get ID'd in unfamiliar places, bah.

[Samdecahedron]

I'm 18,19 in December.

I use to be such a happy guy, now im just a cynical, angry bastard.

Haha, so true. I'm 19, 20 next April. No more teenage-ness for me...sigh.

[KKOB]

18 is i. yay :D

[Letty]

14, but 15 in december.

[Platty]

I've been here for 5 years... Im now 23 so i joined when i was 18....

Damn it's been a long time.

[Fresh]

I've been here for 5 years... Im now 23 so i joined when i was 18....

Damn it's been a long time.

I'm fighting so hard to not make a comment.

[Sexual Chocolate]

21 here, joined when I was 18. maybe, I think.

[Amon]

Based on the data I've collected from this thread the collective age is: Damn. I screwed up on my first try. Worry not! I'll try another time. My age is 26.

Collective age currently: 863 year

Those in the their 18 years made up the bulk of the age with a collective age of 199 year. There were 11 people in that age group. They were also the biggest age group.
Runner-ups were those in their 20 years totalling 140 year. There were 7 people in that age group being also the runner-up in age groups.
The youngest age group was the 14 years. They totalled only 28 year. They were also amongst the smallest age group.

There were four people who didn't share their age with no one. Those had the age of 31 years, 25 years, 23 years and 27 years (being revealed by another member).

[Ashley]

We have 2121 members under 18, and 333 over the age of 18 (as of today)

That's Numberwang!

[mtg101]

We have 2121 members under 18, and 333 over the age of 18 (as of today)

That surprises me. I suppose that because I'm over 30, and all the people I play games with are over 30, I assume that there're loads of older gamers out there.

These numbers probably scupper my plans of suggesting going for a few beers with anyone going to the Oxford Street GAME midnight release of the Wii...

[Ashley]

I suppose you have to take off at least 20% for members who are inactive, spambots or whatever. But still, yus, its a majority kids forum (so stop the foul language! :p)

[Amon]

I wouldn't mind going for a couple of beers with you, mtg101. But, I live so far away from you. One plane ticket to Oslo (appr. £60) and then towards London (probably around £30). Plus, hotel expenses which I am not sure how much it costs. =)

[mtg101]

I suppose you have to take off at least 20% for members who are inactive, spambots or whatever. But still, yus, its a majority kids forum (so stop the foul language! :p)

I agree that kids shouldn't be exposed to foul language on the internet: they should learn that sort of thing in the school playground, as I had to.

However, if we're to set a good example by not using bad language and correcting the kids when they use it, shouldn't we do the same with bad language usage?

To that end, Ashley, your last sentence would have been better written as "Still, yes, the majority of forum members is kids". :heh:

[Mr_Odwin]

To that end, Ashley, your last sentence would have been better written as "Still, yes, the majority of forum members is kids". :heh:

Oh, a cardinal sin. Correcting grammar and still not getting it right.

[mtg101]

Oh, a cardinal sin. Correcting grammar and still not getting it right.

It is a well known 'fact' that while you're correcting someone else's grammar on a forum it's impossible not to make a mistake yourself. However I haven't found an error in my response yet. Please point it out to me.

[rokhed00]

It is a well known 'fact' that while you're correcting someone else's grammar on a forum it's impossible not to make a mistake yourself. However I haven't found an error in my response yet. Please point it out to me.

It's 'are' not 'is' before 'kids'.

[mtg101]

It's 'are' not 'is' before 'kids'.

The "is" is referring to "the majority", which is singular. So while it should be "most of the members are..." it should be "the majority is...".

[Supergrunch]

The "is" is referring to "the majority", which is singular. So while it should be "most of the members are..." it should be "the majority is...".
The majority is below 18.

but

The majority of forum members are kids.

[Ollie]

I'm 22, been here since I was 17 I think, Johelian pointed me here, I have to say that of the regulars (Jordan/Dabooker etc) I think I have noticed a change in post 'maturity' to some degree (not always tho :P).

[Shorty]

I am an elderly 20, although I look about 18. I still get ID'd in unfamiliar places, bah.

Same here man, kinda annoying but... one day you'll be wishing you looked young enough to get ID'd again!

[GigaPlay]

I'm 15, I joined when I was 14. Not a very long time.

Also, I wish I was older. Scratch that, I wish I was taller. D:

[Babooo]

I am 17 and have been browsing these forums for quite a few years....just before the release of the Gamecube when these forums were known as Cube Europe.

There was a period about a couple of months ago when I hardly started to come on at all. But recently I've been here quite alot.

[Ashley]

I agree that kids shouldn't be exposed to foul language on the internet: they should learn that sort of thing in the school playground, as I had to.

However, if we're to set a good example by not using bad language and correcting the kids when they use it, shouldn't we do the same with bad language usage?

To that end, Ashley, your last sentence would have been better written as "Still, yes, the majority of forum members is kids". :heh:

Grammar is as superficial as Jordan (the busty woman, not the forum member). You understand the sentence from the context. Same with words, why should I have to use words in the dictionary. Or even within common usage. So I may say "oh frak I'm so plum flustered over this doodathing" but doesn't mean its unintelligable (within the context, the person would know what the "doodathing" is). Im a firm believer in the descriptive linguistic approach.

And Shorty, you do look under 18. But I always get carded too, its fine. Enjoy it before we all become old and wrinkly. Cause that's truely worse than bad grammar :p

[The Bard]

I've never been Id' for alcohol, but I went to get a pack of cigarettes for a friend, (you need to be 16), and stupid indian woman asked for my ID! The cheek! :heh:

[Supergrunch]

I've only ever been Id'd by a priest.

[Rummy]

Is anyone actually going to average out all these ages? I make this post in the hope that they will, for I am 19.5ish.

[Solo]

We have 2121 members under 18, and 333 over the age of 18 (as of today)

Wow, thats alot of kids compared to us adults. :D

[mtg101]

The majority is below 18.

but

The majority of forum members are kids.

Hmm, you may well be right. Despite my pedantry I'm no grammatical expert, and when I tried to look it up online I found all sorts of very complicated arguments I didn't understand. I'll certainly agree it sounds better with 'are' than 'is'. So I stand corrected.

[Dan Dare]

We can't have that many kids- I suspect the vast, vast, vast majority are fakes. As far as active community members go we must have an over 18 advantage.

[-JC-]

And don't forget the intellectual advantage :heh: . Honestly though, for the most part this forum is pretty mature. I feel so old knowing that at just 20 I'm in the oldest 13% of the forums! Still, I know I won't feel old until I finish uni and get a proper job. I've already started saying "back in my day"... :red:

[Kaeporagaebora]

I have always been.
I will always be.

Or, if you really want to know how old I am, the square root of 15,625, divided by 4, multiplied by 12, divided by 25. That should give you the right answer. But don't post it if you've got it figured out. Make the others work for it.

[Bogbas]

I'll soon be 21. I think that I first joined C-E in 2001 before the cube was launched. And as much I'd like to deny it now, I was a fanboy... I wasn't really active back then. But I posted a few times. This forum was a bit of on/off thing because I had dial-up.

[rokhed00]

Hmm, you may well be right. Despite my pedantry I'm no grammatical expert, and when I tried to look it up online I found all sorts of very complicated arguments I didn't understand. I'll certainly agree it sounds better with 'are' than 'is'. So I stand corrected.

It's me you should be apologizing to, and just remember one thing. Don't question your elders.

[flameboy]

I'm 22, joined when I was 17/18 can't really remember had lots of name changes and stuff since then tho, but have been flameboy for awhile now.

[mtg101]

It's me you should be apologizing to, and just remember one thing. Don't question your elders.

I'll question them if they start using American spelling!

[rokhed00]

I'll question them if they start using American spelling!

It's 'are' not 'is' before 'kids'.

Yeah, very American.

[triforce_keeper]

I'm 13. Woo!

Am I classes as a "kid"?

[Dan Dare]

yes. very much so...

[Solo]

I'm 13. Woo!

Am I classes as a "kid"?

Yep. Practically a baby.

In a non-offensive way.

:heh:

[triforce_keeper]

lawl oh well.

If I'm classed as a baby I'm better start acting like one.

*caris impression* IN BEFORE TEH LOCKAGE. I DONT DO NOTHIN WRONG *caris impression*

[Action]

i am 15 i joined when C-E began.... i dont post much

[Bluejay]

I'm a 46 year old paedophile named Brian, just like every other person on the internet.



I'm 15 and not called Brian.

[DCK]

I'm 17 and joined C-E back when I was 14 I believe.

[mtg101]

Yeah, very American.

I was referring to your use of "apologizing", not your original correction of my post.

[MoogleViper]

I'm 15 (for now *excited giggles*) joined C_E the november when I imported my DS from America. Whatever year that was.


I've only ever been Id'd by a priest.

Did you look too old or something?

[The Bard]

I'm 15 (for now *excited giggles*) joined C_E the november when I imported my DS from America. Whatever year that was.

[Charlie]

If you want to act like a baby just carry on posting like you normally do. :heh:

[Ramar]

If you want to act like a baby just carry on posting like you normally do. :heh:

LOL. Getting quite bitchy in here.

I'm 18..Think I was on C-E for two years, though I use to visit the site for ages but didn't chose to sign up for a long time.

[Colin]

I'm 21, and have been here for years. I posted under the name ilsa_Nadir originally, then people got confused so just stuck with my normal name, which was the right thing to do. And with this post I enter into the Aficionado stage.

We have 2121 members under 18, and 333 over the age of 18 (as of today)
With stats like that I'm amazed this place hasn't turned into the NOE forums.

[ViPeR]

I'm 12 and joined when I was 8.

[Colin]

Thats mainly because 5% of the entire forum actively visit here.
Yeh I know that. Alot of the younger users here though do make quite informative and mature posts considering age and that.

Still the forums are nowhere near as busy as they once were back in the c-e days.

[JonSt]

I suppose there's a good balance because most of the older teenagers are cynical fucks, keep's the young whippersnappers in check.

[McMad]

If you want to act like a baby just carry on posting like you normally do. :heh:

Now that was a burn.

Is it obvious that the younger members are younger?

[triforce_keeper]

If you want to act like a baby just carry on posting like you normally do. :heh:

I'm 23 god im getting old signed up when i was 19 i think.

Yo, ever heard of a joke?

A jo..wk? WAAA?

[Charlie]

Now that was a burn.

Is it obvious that the younger members are younger?

With some members it is obvious*, but with others I think they're much younger than I thought they would be.

*I'm not going to name names, and I don't mean Triforce_keeper, I was just joking about that, as he hopefully knows.

[triforce_keeper]

lol Moria my "your a dick" post was also a joke.

Man I post alot of jokes.

[Zell]

I can tell triforce_keeper is young. I also visualise him looking like his avatar.

In a good way dude, you're a very lively member :) (also in a good way).

[Fierce_LiNk]

Still the forums are nowhere near as busy as they once were back in the c-e days.

It takes time for a forum to get really busy. 2 and a half thousand members in a little over a year is nothing to be snuffed at. I think it was just under 10 thousand joined for C-E, so we've still got a long way to go yet.

[triforce_keeper]

Woot!

I don't think other members think of me like that :P

I would describe myself on the forums as an annoying 13 year old who WANTS TEH WII SOOOOO BADLY......

[mcj metroid]

In a good way? Or a bad way?

awww stop being sooo cute :grin:

you're not annoying.The most fun member in my opinion and fun on msn

[gj15987]

I'm 19 now, joined the site when I first got the net, so that would bewhen N64 europe was just turning into Cube Europe - so i'm guessing like 2000 - 2001.

[triforce_keeper]

awww stop being sooo cute :grin:



you're not annoying.The most fun member in my opinion and fun on msn

Awwwwwwww! Thanks alot mate :D

pssst everyone...slowly walk away. I think he just came out of a mental home!

[Fierce_LiNk]

Triforce, chiiiilll. You seen very 'excited' so maybe you just need to sit down for a while and stop eating sugar.

I signed up for C-E in the August of 2002 if i remember correctly. I remember it being summer, and i think the cube had just been launched, so therefore my date is correct. Yaaay.
I think i got made admin before the site changed for r-e. Can't remember a date exactly. Looking back, i think i embarassed myself looking over my first few posts. I like to think that i've developed a sense of maturity since those days.
