Probably b/c my parents let me watch lesbian-vampire erotica at the age of three, but it’s still good. ---

I’m almost THREE times your age. ALMOST. You could be my kid. (If I could convince a woman to bear my spawn) Welcome to the boards! ---

Yes, yes yes, fix your sig. Include the joke, and that’s it. Too many lines-it gets too long. And only post it once per thread. Now then, Gosh…1989…oh, I feel so old. Someone who doesn’t remember the Berlin Wall falling. And I’m only 24…yet I’ve noticed in the last two years that things have popped up to start making me feel old. Dopers, is this going to start happening more frequently? Oh dear… As for being too young- **Lynn** set the minimum age at 13. I will say, just be calm, and patient, and lurk a lot before posting. Try not to go overboard. We’re a pretty cool bunch, and though we can be damn intimidating, well, dammit, we have a right to be, since we are, the Best Message Board on the Net. 😉 ---

I’m only 15. Most people say I don’t act 15, though (they say I act 11). ---

I’m 13 as well, I’ve been lurking for 3 years! I hate the minimum age, besides, pop-up ads have much worse, and they aren’t censored (excluding 3rd party/opera). I love SDMB and you probably will too. [nitpick] whoever said “sensoring” above was incorrect, it is “censor” [nickpit] ---

What scared me this year was talking to my mom and realizing that the kids in her class this year were born in 1994. I’m only 21, but I get a little creeped out at that… ---

Oh, and stay outta The Pit for now…at least until you get some lurking under your belt. It’s not for the young or weak of heart. Heck, I didn’t start going in there myself until a couple of months ago, and I’m still scared the flinging bile… ---
