yeah but trials...they should still be able to atleast see SOME threads for information and such. just not everything :)

Hm, agreed. Maybe just the Graal main forum (minus the birthday forum, guild forum, and hello/goodbye forum)?

Sounds great.

zone/gk information forums?

dont think trials would really need the information there :P

UNNECESSARY LUXURY!

I'm not quite sure why people here seem to think that restricting the forum to registered users would result in some kind of forum policy reform.

If they made the whole thing private like the lounge it would be a privacy forum

You guys make it seem as though unregistered users are a threat to life on the forums.

Oh and mid-20 crisis yall!

I'm 18, and I'm going to have my 18th anniversary on the 9th of July. :D

Like me *hides in obscurity*

<3Moonie

8teen :D

I'll be 21 in 2 weeks and 6 days. That's March 9th if you can't/don't want to count. I expect presents.

20 has been kind of lame, so I'm hoping 21 is better.

But...this is the last birthday that I get to "look forward to". As in, when you're a kid, you establish birthdays to look forward to.

10 = double digits
13 = teenager
16= you can drive
18 = legal
21 = drink (legally)

SIGH I'm getting old :( haha

Going to be 23 next month.

Oi... hard to believe I came here because of a tip from a friend in my "Intro to Programming" course back in high school...

So you believe it will lead to the allowal of non-Graal-related links?

nope nothing will happen its graal.

Funny thing is, I made a thread like this to try to point out the fact that most of their active users are above the age of 16 (or 18) and that mature discussions could take place.
Of course, I got as far as a person who fights the walls when drunk ;)

It doesn't matter.
They're trying to make the forums suitable for all members, not just the majority.
Their methods however are more arguable.

19.

started when i was 11 going on 12. :x

I'm 17 now, I started in 2000, do the math.

Agreed

Whens your birthdate so I can count it down! :p
"Date of Birth: February 26th, 1987"
7 years and 9 days. If you were to have joined on your birthday of 2000.

Again, I'm not arguing that the forums should change their rules or anything... Just that their reason that "the majority of Graal's playerbase are young teens" isn't the reason they should use. Since it's most likely incorrect.

"Graal is a game for all ages" is a better reason. Specifically saying that Graal's playerbase is primarily made up of children is what annoys me.

edit: Am I the only one who finds it funny that Stefan is the only 30-39 year old on the poll? :p

edit2: People like MysticX2X shouldn't be given the right to access these forums if they are going to just blatantly give an incorrect answer to the poll. He says he's 40+ but his profile reads:

Date of Birth:
November 22nd, 1990
Age:
16

What's the point of doing that? Just to be annoying? :\

The same reason why pooper tried to make people believe he/she is over 40, and others try to say they are under 13 when I am pretty sure they aren't. Attention...

Uh, or they're just doing it as a joke.

yea.........or that.

Wow this turned into crap fast.

Uhh... surprise?

Im IT don't try to call me he/she. I am older than 40.*cough* Dog years*you never said in human years.

or they have other reasons.......
they are clinically insane.

Uh....ok

I think most people know what forums are...

and some unintelligent teenagers don't. Psst! you forgot the white text in my other post!

Out of curiosity, where does it say this? I can't find it anywhere. x_x

I could be lieing that I'm 16. Or i could be just doing it for the fun of messing up polls.

Pretend you're over 40?
Genius.
You'll be a global in no time!

lmao nice one man. :fro: :fro: :fro:

Really? I am over 40, and I am not a global. Forum admin is not a global position, nowhere near it....
BTW....what globals are over 40 besides the newly hired Bell? Where do you get your information from?
Or should I say, what globals are pretending to be over 40 (not sure what you are implying because of your wording)?

No, I'm saying if you're over 30, you're more important in Unix's eyes, and have a far greater chance at being a global. I consider forum admin a global position, you govern over everyone, no matter what server they normally play on, but that's not the point.

It's understandable that he would trust and relate more with older people. I think it's the fact that he doesn't seem to value the opinion of his younger players that is the actual problem.

No, you said over 40. Sam is over forty and he's not a global. I think Ibonic is 28 or something, and he's a global. Bell is the only person who is over 40 and a global. There are lots of people below 25 which are (or have been) globals.
She administrates the forums. Not Graal online, which would be a global position. Oy.

*shrugs* Adults normally want to hire other adults to do jobs such as this. It's pretty normal.

I am glad that you consider it a global job, but it isn't. I only admin the forums, not Graal as a whole. :)

Darn it, you beat me. :p

Right. Also, if I'm not mistaken, Bell is the first global to be over 40, and she is the greatest. :)
