Define older fans. I mean, seriously, where's the cutoff? I find it kinda interesting, surely some fandoms, by default must be full of oldies.

I guess I'm one myself but I've been lurking almost 2 decades. (Ye Gods!) I just don't tell anyone how incredibly ancient I am.

I guess the older you get the less likely you to invest time if fandom debates and art etc. Hmm...

I'd say minimum three years and three different fandoms. That's usually long enough to knock off the shiny and make you start learning the ropes on how not to come barreling into a fandom and acting like you deserve special treatment because you, as a brand new fan, can totally see all the things older fans can't see and think new ideas that they haven't thought of before and thus your opinion is the most valuable.

I mean it's fun when you find the occasional "Omg you were into DBZ when it first aired on TV too? Did you visit X sites/forums?" and nostalgia geeking. And I'm not nearly so arrogant to think I'm anywhere near as old as a lot of the fans out there.

So yeah, old enough not to scream the sky is falling over every little thing and to respect when people talk about stuff that happened before.

One incident was people calling bullshit when I said when Doctor Who first started getting popular you had to call it Doctor Who, because Dr. Who wouldn't get you any results on Amazon and would miss a lot of sites on Google. That it took time for search engines to catch up to the new spelling. But no, Dr. Who is the RIGHT spelling and I was just making things up to be mean.
