I was just wondering out of plain curiosity, how old the majority of people here were??I am really really really into Games, Editing, Making applications (in C++ ..ect.) Editing D2 LoD, Editing other games, and really anything to do with computers. Now the real SHOCKER here is I am only....17 years old, thats right. anyone else this age or close?? I love this, and learn so quick cause I enjoy it so much. but I am really only 17 years old. Any replies??

Same for me - just turned 18 in august and yes, it is easy to learn due to the high interest + the high quality support you get here, from the keep ( so far for diablo2 modding, that is ).------------------ Responsible for the 'Hell on Earth Series' Visit http://www.planetdiablo.com/hellonearth for details

There's a wide range of ages here...I'm 33 and I think we have at least one or two modders who are somewhere in the vicinity of 40. Lots of folks in the teens and 20s, though. For what it's worth, despite my "advanced" age, I still buy action figures and still watch cartoons. Don't want to "grow up" too much...just enough to fool my wife into thinking I'm a responsible human being.  ------------------ - JEFF "A hero is no braver than anyone else.

How does that phrase go? "I don't wanna grow up. I'm a Toy R Us kid".  I'm 31 and I hope to be playing the next 31 too.  Oh, and I love cartoons too still so your not alone jbouley. Bugs Bunny and co. just kills me.

It's not how old you ARE. It's how old you FEEL.Unless you can get a senior citizens discount. Then it might matter... ------------------ Sir_General That's Sir_General with a _. Leave it out and I'll beat you with a rubber chicken.

Yeap. Within various sections of my family are definite signs of proof that growing up was an option. Of course, I won't explain any details here on the boards . ------------------ It is easier to destroy than to create. ZhoulomCrypt keeper.

21 here... I'll be 22 soon, but birthday's just don't seem as important now that I've hit the "final" age where you can do anything (legal). It's all downhill from here.

Perhaps I'm the youngest forum goer, and most likely the youngest moderator. I'm 14.------------------ My fear begins at one point, and spreads like wildfire from person to person. The more I interact, the greater the pain. Anxiety and depression are my new, dark friends. Solidarity is the answer, but solitude is my choice.

29 here. "Maturity" is the ability to know when you need to be grown up... and the ability not to be when you don't

Not true! There are still the reductions in your insurance (especially auto insurance) premiums at age 25 and 30.  I, on the other hand, no longer have anything to look forward to except senior citizen discounts. And that's an awful long ways off yet...  ------------------ - JEFF "A hero is no braver than anyone else. He is only brave five minutes longer."

you know the bad thing though, by the time you get your P's, you could have a kurfu [spelling] I think they wanted between 12 and 7.. and youll have to do that 25hr log book thing with your L's. Depending on where you live though I suppose. My mates that got their P's before me, all had different things they had to do, luckly I just made it before any of the really bad stuff becomes a law. Ofcourse, thats all for safty and to make ppl better drivers, so.. better not mock it too much. ------------------ Trust Me = it takes a lifetime to find where U belong, and two lifetimes to find your Soulmate, but, I do not have a Lifetime or 2 of time on my hands....

23 here. Guess that's pretty much within the norm. I have to say though, for an on-line community the average age is pretty high here...------------------ So much bandwidth, so little time
