Most people here have not, or they were too young to even know what a videogame was when videogames first came out.

Who do you think comes up with videogames and makes them? Who makes childrens programming? Who makes childrens games? Children? PFFTTTT. Adults make the cartoons children watch on TV, adults make the videogames that children play. If there are adults making the games and tv shows that children enjoy, how can you even stand there with a straight face and say that adults don't know what's going on with the youth of today?

God I hope when I'm 40 and still playing videogames people will have changed their attitudes.

Again, people in their 30's and 40's lived through all of videogaming/pc gaming in it's entirety. How can you say they shouldn't be allowed to play them now? I grew up with Mario and Zelda and the age of NES and Gameboy and have been playing ever since. I find it ridiculous when I play an online game where some 14 year old tells me I'm too old to be playing the game. The very birth of most online games nowadays are from people 20 and over who enjoyed playing games in their childhood and still enjoy playing them today.

p.s. Ching, when you make a post saying "you're deluded if you think I care", you're pretty much contradicting yourself, because if you didn't care you wouldn't bother to tell me that you didn't care.
Dude, what the hell are you talking about? Where did I ever say that she shouldn't play or she couldn't play. When I'm 40, I'll still be playing too. You have confused me a bit.

But anyway, how is it selfish to want a forum focused on my age group. The entire game is focused on the age group of 13, when a majority of players are older than that. So, asking for one single forum out of the entire gameplay and forums is selfish? Seems a bit extreme to call that selfish.
