36 2 forums, including this one. The other one is [fuckedgaijin.com](http://fuckedgaijin.com), which is mainly by and for foreign residents in Japan. Because they allow avatars and photo posting, and because (as you might guess from the name) the general tone is fairly crude (though helpful, kind of like a bunch of drinking buddies), this is the only one I post at during work hours. ---

I’ve just worked out I’m 57, which has come as something of a shock as I’ve believed that I’m 54 for some time now. None: nothing comes up to the standard of the SD. ---

[QUOTE=ivan astikov] Right, that’s it. I’m aiming for 90 then! 🙂 [/QUOTE] I understand that you don’t believe me. Search for “David Simmons”. One of the most appreciated regular poster on this board, and a WWII veteran, he passed away some months ago at the age of 85. On a couple instances, other posters mentioned they were older than 80. I just noticed it, but didn’t know them, so I couldn’t tell whether they’re still around. Of course you could assume they were lying, but I see no reason to make such an assumption. David Simmons at least is a sure bet. If I’m not mistaken, some other dopers have met him. ---

1. Does lurking count as posting? And do LJ communities count as forums? If not, just 1 (immortalgeisha) If so, then, um, 5 (+ scans\_daily, customerssuck, jokerxharley, whitechapel). Unless I’m forgetting some. ---

42 years, no other forums on a regular basis. I was a semi-regular poster on the D&D forums for a while, but I quit my gaming group last year so there hasn’t been much point in posting on those forums since then. Of course, in my 12 years on the 'Net I’ve registered on lots of forums, but all but the SDMB were “single topic” boards and after a while it gets to the point where you’ve asked and answered every question you can think of on that single topic and the questions start repeating themselves, so there’s not much point in sticking around. I’m not including Usenet binary groups in the above, of course. There’s always something interesting and new in those 😃 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/a-couple-of-personal-questions/459151.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/a-couple-of-personal-questions/459151.md?page=3)
