I joined a small Digimon fandom at 9 when most of the people were 15-25. I did not fit in and got picked on like nobody's business. In fact, I'm glad the forum went down, cause they were elitists who seemed to think I should "respect my elders" by, uh... not treating them the same as I treat everyone else.

I mean, with a couple-of-weeks-off-retirement Dad, I'm the one who should be lecturing people about respecting their elders.
