You're too old to be here, opinions?

So I recently had some thread posts and PM's with some younger members about being too old to be on this site. Personally I think the demographic for Halo is older than teenager but I'd like to hear from the community about age on B.net? Also for reference I am 36 and here's some recent gamer age statistics from Australia - [quote]Average age for an Australian gamer is now 32... [url=http://www.theage.com.au/digital-life/games/blogs/screenplay/new-statistics-reveal-the-face-of-australian-gaming-20120802-23g49.html#ixzz26zNn4MjC]Read more [/url][/quote] [Edited on 09.19.2012 11:48 PM PDT]

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Ockeghem I cant believe you still have that awful grammer in the title. You are asking opinions a question about if they are too old to be here? ;-)[/quote] Learn to spell, punctuate and the proper use of grammar then critic my posts. At any rate what does this add to the topic again? Please stay on topic and my thread title is more than legible, good day.

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] DrBunsenHoneydew Don't let anyone tell you you're too old to be part of the community. It's worth remembering that one of our slogans is "We make games we want to play", and there are plenty of guys in their mid-thirties working here. :)[/quote] What happen to Gojinn i hope hes doing great his name is Chris. But yeah a passion never dissapears.

  • [quote]Too old thread? Excuse to post slightly relative Alzheimer's joke? Check. Hey I just met you And this is crazy And I have Alzheimer's Hey I just met you...[/quote] But actually, age is just a number. You're never too old too enjoy the little things in life, just ask your wife. But actually x2, Do what you want man, being older you have more of a right to be in a community than you do being apart of the younger crowd.

  • Pretty sure the average age group is 14-20 (High School through most of college) on the site. However, I think as long as you enjoy coming here, who cares what age you are? Look at RN54 and OPR.

Also for reference I am 36 [/quote] To give a serious answer to your question, the average age of the Bungie community is "older than teenager", but not by much. It's around 21, give or take depending on the sampling method. If it makes you feel any better, about 5% of our community is older than you are. :) [/quote] That is surprising, I suppose though we have some oldies bringing up the average. [/quote]That's a substantially larger percentage than I would have ever guessed. I'm quite excited, to be honest, it shows a large range of ages to draw from in any given discussion. I'll admit, the reason I'm still here is because of the community. Yes, Bungie has made some amazing games, but I haven't touched a videogame in what is seemingly a long time. Knowing that there is a large population of users with a higher age is very reassuring in the validity of this community. We have guaranteed something in our discussions that not many other places can have; Experience. [/quote] Very eloquently put and I agree with it too.[/quote]It's absolutely true! Also, Recon, will you be my bffl? WE can go putt-putting and see movies and eat icream and make gingerbread houses and you can kill that woodpecker that's on the otherside of my bedroom wall and I can make you a sweater for christmas. I like this. Wait, you live in texas. How about I knit you a 10 gallon hat?

Very interesting age demographics which I would have thought to be a bit younger. I'm glad to see the cross section I'm in. [Edited on 09.22.2012 4:18 AM PDT]

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] BlackHeaven There's no age limit to enjoy games. The guys and girls making them are older than us(some of us) and we're all allowed to enjoy them.[/quote]The whole thing is just summed up to this single point. Hell, look how old Recon is, but yet see how loved he is by the community. Is there a limit to how hold you have to be to enjoy yourselves? The answer is no.

  • Video games are for relaxing, forums are for talking. Neither of these past times have an age limit. I don't see any problem with being here when you're older except maybe if it consumes your life to the point where it is physically or mentally harming you or your family.

  • If I acted my age... how does one act years? It is not how old you are, but who you are. The Flood fails to understand this, which is where I believe most of the trouble originates on this site.

  • An interesting topic with many facets of exploration, me thinks :D I'm not sure how you can be too old for [i]anything[/i], then again, I'm still a spring chicken myself, though I'm no Johnny-come-lately either! Ask me again in another ten years and I'll tell you if I think I'm too old for games at 31 :D

  • I, on the other hand, am incredibly young for a b.net "old schooler" along with Hawkeye. You age really doesn't matter here. Well, for some people, your join date does. But that's another subject. Where's Recon? I need an inappropriate joke. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] x Foman123 x Nah, OP, you're right in the same age range as most of us old-schoolers around here. Anybody who says you're too old to be here or too old to be a gamer simply has a vastly inaccurate view of this community, and that's a fact.[/quote]
