As another old geezer according to fandom standards, I say we start a club for all the old farts of fandom. We can sit around and laugh at the younguns and yell at people to get off our lawn and talk about the good ol' days of IRC.

I actually created a board for "fans over 20" in a fandom where most of the fanbase were teens and younger, because some of them were not welcoming to "old geezers" like us, and because I wanted conversations a bit more elaborated than "OMG HE'S SOOOOO CUTE!".

We did welcome fans under 20 who wrote properly and not in netspeak, though.
It's not a question of age, more of priorities. In the end though, 30 and 40-somethings don't always behave or post any better than some teens...

But I admit, at times it was also a relief to not be flooded by posts about "whine whine my parents don't understand me" and "school sucks!".
