Personally, and I know this is going to sound a bit harsh, but I think this community can survive a bunch of little kiddies better than it can survive an elitist attitude.

I don't know about "elitist attitude" maybe more of a fear of change? While change is good! RIGHT? Most of us have seen changes in the past that weren't. It's up to everyone here today and everyone who joins in the future to make this site what it is!
Honestly, this is Shrapnel Game's site and the mentality of the posts on IGN probably tell you that the mind set is not that of a real gamer. People who 'game' have an special mentality along with the skills to actually understand that they are part of a community of others like themselves. There is no one who can stop those kids from coming here to this site and posting. I have seen groups of kids at the local game shop and I would be happy to game with them if I was into D&D type games. All you can do is show them what the rest of us are like and hope that they learn to become a functioning and contributing part of this site OR move on to seek their own level.
