I know there's an age limit on the forums, but when I was a kid I never listened to website age limits, so I can't imagine that the kids of today do, neither. Do you think there are any little goonlets running around the forums? I can't imagine many would buy an account, but lurking is an option. What messages would you have for any young goons?

Get your parents' credit cards, kids, and remember all the times they didn't buy you things they said they would.

Maybe they're children of goons who figured out their parents' logins. this might be the closest equivalent of today's youth discovering their fathers' porn stash.

Kids today don't have the reading comprehension for a site like this. They barely parse 140 characters. That's why they prefer image based sites like instagram, snapchat, or if they're more "intellectual" than their friends, reddit memes.

hello children in 30 years or so someone like me, a Gen X moron, will fail to retire due to investment in individual stocks instead of index funds, and we're gonna complain about it on internet forums while you're actually doing something with your life. shortly thereafter we'll realize that our boomer parents hosed us and y'all are too whiny to trust the future to, we're gonna burn this poo poo into the ground [ed: idk wtf this means] have fun

I started reading SA when I was like 15 but didn't join the forums until I was 18 because it seemed so non retarded compared to all other forums I figured no one wanted some dipshit kid there. Now I've spent half my life on this poo poo so loving hell kids, run away.

I had a lot of fun on excite.com chat when I was a kid. Kids, go check out chat.excite.com and... y'know, just... check it out. You can have your own username and even make your own avatar. I assume not much has changed there over the last 17 years.

I started reading and posting when I was 13-15, but I'd rarely post. I played lots of games with goons and I never had any issues with them. And now I am 28 and lots of goons play with other goons and involve their children and I've never seen anyone being a weirdo toward them. In fact, people are generally nice and even avoid saying inappropriate stuff. I know if I ever saw anything shady going on I'd speak up right away, and I assume that's true for most people here too. I think the only kids I know of on SA who have been the target of creepy poo poo is Lowtax's kids, but that's less because they are children and more because they are involved with Lowtax. I'd honestly rather have my children play games with goons than with the general internet population. I mean I'd prefer they play with their actual friends, but failing that goons are generally decent people. Khorne fucked around with this message at 06:27 on Feb 15, 2016 |
