Posting your age if you're a minor is against the rules, I don't think 35 is a minor.

Though the topic may encourage such AUP breakage.

But I can say, I don't beat the 35 mark

Isn't the whole age thing just so that kids won't compromise themselves by revealing that they are in fact kids and not adults with social disorders? I'm kidding!!??

I'll do an experiment here. Zeus forgive me if I am wrong...
I'm 28. 28.7 according to Excel...

To be honest if you measured mental age, then you might find things are a little different, Ermes if you're really mature, then you might pass as the oldest in terms of mentality, most of us here probably act like children, nice children, with a good sense of humour and know when they need to behave - nothing like the kids that live next door.

I've said my age several times on this forum, and I could say it again, but some mod would just edit my post as usual. And I don't really care, if someone actually asks for my age I'll say it to them. It's not really that big of a deal. And yes I am what you would call "Young Swedish butthole"

Lee Bamber, Rick Vanner, or BatVink, one of them MUST be the oldest. I'm certain indi was the oldest 'till he went away.

Now, certainly, all of you overestimate yourselves as being any age worth noting, by any form of notation. You see, Chuck Norris exists everywhere, even within these forums. And considering Chuck Norris spawned all life, he is the oldest out of all. Our dynamic universe exists within Chuck Norris' static meta-verse.

There are several forum members who are actual grandfathers, and who started computer programming with punchcards well before you were born, as I did.

Not me, although I am over 35.

Obviously I don't know everyones age, so I can't say who is the oldest but take a look at photos from previous con's and you will see at least one person that is a little older than me

He disclosed it himself on more than one occasion - and he is not the oldest.

Honestly, it's not up to you to break the rules because you decide you don't agree with them. They are rules put there for a reason, and if you decide to break them again and again, even *after* getting warned, then prepare for a ban. If you're under 18, just don't post your age. Why is that so hard for people to follow?

I happen to know that the oldest person... er... cat, is Scraggle. He must be nearing his 90's in cat years

I think that Red Oktober is actually dead. There is, after all, only so long someone can live before they start to grow mold.

I don't think that age is particularly important, I think that character and personality are. There are people of all ages that are complete jackasses and likewise people of all ages that are mature and cool.

Is that in total or in one post? Let's give it a try:

RED OKTOBER, RED OKTOBER, RED OKTOBER.

Edit: Z, you beat me to it!



Returning to the thread topic:

Quote: "My bet is Green Gandalf is the oldest, he's so old that Tolkien actually stole the name from him."


In the absence of more specific information I'd say it was 50:50 between Jeff Miller and me. But who's to know that there isn't a dark horse (grey-haired balding toothless horse?) out there laughing at us all?

My legal challenge is being held up by the fact that my lawyers haven't returned from Mordor ... yet.
