I wonder what these forums would be like (assuming they still exist) in ten years?
I'd be 28, and some of our oldest would be close to 40.
Assuming all of us still play, we'll have literally grown up on these forums. It might actually be advantageous to that new generation you spoke of, because then the mature ones (who actually listen to other members and what they have to say) could really learn from the experience of us older members.
Though really, I could see perhaps myself playing at even 28, but some playing at 40 might be a bit ridiculous. But if they do, the conversations had on these forums among older members would be significantly different.
