A preview of things to come?

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.

It all makes sense now! So, when you joined back in 2000, you were about 2 years old? Or would it be 3? Let me tell you, you are one talented 7 year old!

Your profile disagrees. Your profile also misspells "psychopath".

That Explains a Lot.

Mainly how come you're so talented at making Shipsets DOGA I have heard is like a Lego modeller, and I know I did very little else at 7 Years Old than play lego.

The real question is, Mac's age?

With his interest in Chainmail Ladies, I'd expect 69
(gets lots of rotten tomatoes thrown at me)

The lady has posted that she is in fact 25, not 12.

C'mon guys. Lets try to set a good example for these potential SE fans. Insulting the boards over there wasn't exactly a good first impression. Of course they dont compare to the ones here. It's IGN. 'Nuff said.

Lets just focus on showing them the kind of community we have here without sinking to the level of behavior so prevalent in internet society. If they aren't able to fit in here they will leave. So let's try to be friendly and welcoming so we dont scare off those who would be our fellow SE addicts!

And a game reviewer? Good God, I can imagine the reviews...

"Space Empires V... the game itself is decent, but the fan community is a bunch of elitist stuck-up *******s..."

Or maybe she'd even call US immature... please, guys, don't drag this community down to the lowest common denominator - remember, to them, we're a bunch of newbies, so please don't call them childish bastards or whatever!

I say we invade that thread with cake, party ballons and those caramel applies on a stick!

I always liked those apples.
