I've been around these forums for some time, only bothered to post here and there. The one thing I've noticed as of late, and it is terribly annoying, is the immaturity on these forums. It's hard to find a solid thread around here without some gangster 13 year old teen coming in and spewing shit. I've played a lot of games in my day, and been on many forums, (I'm 21) and I can honestly say that this forum is probably on par with that of World of Warcrafts. I'm sick of seeing douchebags kick around the forums, thinking their "all that" over a game. If I had a penny for every time I've seen a "yeah well it's cuz u havent faced me, i'm so 1337" type response, I'd have a shit load of pennies.

My point is, I'd like to see a little more dignified responses in these threads, we're all here to talk about and DISCUSS, key word here is discuss, not troll... A game that we will all love. Hopefully.

Thanks

*EDIT* Just looking through threads, how many people have names like XxXSuPaSniPeRxXx. Honestly, is all that necessary? It WoUlD Be LiKe Me AlWaYs TyPiNg LiKe ThIs.

I've lurked the WoW forums. This is nothing compared to a wow forum on a tuesday with the servers down lol...btw im 18. Apparently a thread was started about me and I was told over XBL. Was quite weird.

I'am 15 and yes there are some people that do that stuff but I don't think you can say it is in a certain age group.

I do not do stuff like that.

[MDA Predator95]

same here im turning 15 next week so my guess would be that the age group is some times 14 and lower am i right? i mean i can act like when im pusshed that far or when around friends other than that im pretty mature about things

[-ITD- Blix3r]

Surprising u guys are that young. Especially with 500+ posts

[DarkBloodHunter]

Ya I am 15 as well and I'm not like that at all. I personally haven't seen that on these forums but I'm sure it happens.

Yeah, he was acting childish with the PC/console war.

[MDA Predator95]

all in all i think its just how you act or how your personality is or how you might have been raisesd or how much of a social life you had

[turtlenipplenthetoxicshock]

i just turned 21 yesterday
and this is the only forum i ever been on, never really found forums to be interesting.
and there is quite a bit of immaturity but thats to be expected.
when the pretentious are given a chance to indulge in their egos because they win ONE match
things are guaranteed to get out of hand with those kids who think they're all "1337"

all in all it's nothing to really give attention to.
trolls will probably flood this forum with bullshit.
but at least you have the popularity of people on here to be reasonable people with varied ages

[(UBAA) Game Smasher]

Age is simply a number, what matters is how you handle yourself in areas that require mature decisions and or actions

I think its the way people are raised these days. I'm 18 and some of the stuff I have seen and heard is stupid thats why I hardly ever put on my headset when I play multiplayer.

The world of gaming is a young (with some exceptions) man's (with some exceptions) world.

No, scratch that. It is a world (with some exceptions) of young men, just barely men, teenagers, and preteen boys.

Once upon a time you were a kid playing Mortal Kombat on your SNES, or Double Dragon on your NES, or Donkey Kong Jr on your Coleco Vision, or Pong on your Atari. As we age the chain will get longer, and it will eventually include middle-aged men, old men, senile men (with some exceptions!). If you have crossed the threshold into a slightly older age bracket, try not to look back with scorn at the others.

Let's not disparage each other and just try to recognize that we're all coming from different places, united by gaming.

Couldn't have said it better myself

[Darkness11011]

Iam 14 but when i play online iam silent or in party chat i dont annoy anyone and iam completly mature about losses and *getting pwned*

[Maul]

Mods here run a pretty tight ship, and people like that end up either being banned or shunned from other forum members to the point where they say "fuck you guy, I'm leaving all you nerds!!111 I havz a real livez!!1!" That's basically what Bad Acid did.

[AlienTechProductions]

Nicely said great thread.

[GuyWithTheName]

I just turned fourteen, however I'm very used to forums, and keep to myself. The only exception is when I get frustrated at an annoying game mechanic, and my complaints can be considered trolling, although their passive aggresive, not meant at anyone I was in fact a well known member of the borderlands forum for the excellent signatures I made.
unfourtantly I can no longer make signatures, however I dont mind I only had it for like 2 weeks. But yea I'm a carefull person, not an annoying kid. lol IMO the l4d2 forums were the worst, racism, spamming, trolling and flaming were boundless. I think thats were trolls breed. Almost like youtube comments.
