So, I'm fairly new to the site, and have come to realize the average age of the active users here is 15 and under not that this is necessarily a bad thing (it really is not at all) but being ten years older than the average user is, well, a little awkward at times; in terms of references, content, and general knowledge (I called out a kid in 9th grade for not knowing basic physics after making a claim about friction, not knowing he was so young at the time)...
I don't know if its just me or what, but for some reason I automatically assume, on forums, people are around my age or older, and we all know what happens when we assume things right people lol... I'm not sure why I was so surprised to find sooo many 11-14 year old's on the site, considering most of the people I'm trying to wrangle up into a community in my city are in middle school (I'm trying to create a bey community for my little bro and his friends so they have something positive to do that will keep them out of trouble and all that hooplah).
So my purpose with this thread is so all the 'adults' have a place to go and talk about things with peers, get to know eachother, etc. Are there any other 20-somethings in the community??? Or am I going to be nicknamed 'gramps' for being the lone 'older than the average user' creepy old guy talking to tweens... really hope not.
So while I obviously can't, and don't want to, segregate the site, I'm not saying "HEY 18 AND UP ONLY PAL" anyone can post in here, but lets try to get all the 'creepy old people' in one place and get to know each other.
