Of the active members, cRookie_Monster is currently 39. Otherwise, there's a few inactive members who've posted on previous pages of this thread who are the same age or older than you. In fact, I remember a member from a few years back who was in his early 50s.
That's good to know, I guess us older guys can still serve a purpose for when questions about things from "way back when" come up.
"Of" =/= "Have"
Contractions:
-Should have = Should've
-Could have = Could've
-Would have = Would've
The heck does "should of" even mean anyway? Think about what those two words mean individually, and then try to read them back to back in a sentence and make sense of it. Are you forming a prepositional phrase, is "should" a part of a larger grouping, or are you just typing random words based on how you think you hear them used verbally? Perhaps take a moment to contemplate this, and see if it becomes as mind jarring for you to look at as it does for me..
I don't really look at this part of the forums much, but I certainly feel a little kid now that I have. I'm 14 and I started coming here at 13, my birthday was in March.

I still haven’t lived down going, “Who the heck is Tao Pai-pai?” that one time I was talking with Ei’ichiro Oda-kun. But the fact that there are still people reading the series after all this time… All I can say is; “thank you.” Really, that’s all.

And that you also have IMMENSELY skewed and comically backwards priorities in what you think is most important and needed to make a good Dragon Ball story.

Wow. And I thought I was one of the older guys. Finally, at least for a fleeting moment (until tomorrow when everyone starts singing Happy 28th) 28 and liking Dragon Ball neither seems that old, or that ridiculous!
Hmmm... I'm 22. I guess I'm somewhere in the middle in terms of age... It does make me a bit self-conscious about my age given that there are people who are younger than me and yet have been on this site for far longer than me. Hahaha. For some odd reason I've always pictured a bunch of users here as being far older than they actually are... Like, for the longest time I've always pictured Lord Beerus as some guy who was in his 30's... But he's younger than me by nearly 2 years.
I'm 25. I've been into Dragon Ball since 2000. Also, I joined these here forums back in 2007, which means I'll have been here nine years come January! That really is nuts...
I don't remember the last time I posted in this thread, so I'm 19 now. Next year I'll be 20. I'll also be 5 in leap years. So, that's always fun. I like being able to tell people I'm 4 years old. So, 5 will be fun.

I mean, you're pretty open about looking at cartoon porn. Why would you do that? It's fiction. The proportions of these women are not possible to reach in reality.
I turn 16 tomorrow.
Wow... I feel like the kid here. It's amazing that people in their 30s are still watching DB. Maybe that's why it's so successful.
At least there are some members who are younger than me.

And when my mother finds me investing my precious time trying to bond with this hot anime girl, I'll look straight into her eyes and say "but have you looked at the menu screen? have you actually seen the menu screen? In that very moment, she knows. She fucking knows. As she handles me the nugget pieces she previously cooked for me, she leaves my room with these words: "Persona 5 is the true savior of the JRPG".

I was your age when I joined here, haha. And I know people in their 40's and 50's who're into it. In fact, my boss is in her late 50's and she and her husband are huge fans. They own all the original FUNimation VHS's.
In a few weeks I will be 59. Started in anime fandom in 1978. Have been watching cartoons since the late 1950s. Avid movie goer since my Mom started to take me when I was 3. But among my Scifi and comics fan friends I am among the youngest. Most of the people I know are far older, mostly now in their 60s or 70s. Was the first Canadian anime fan in the old Cartoon/Fantasy Organization back in the late 70s. Collected many series since starting with Betamax and VHS. Have 7,000 tapes in my collection. I should write this all down sometime, eh?
