Actually the last poll's (http://www.sorcerers.net/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?/topic/18/774.html) just over a month old.

I'm 18, for the record, since I don't remember posting there. (Except to quote Monty Python :D )

The point is to boost your post count silly. . . . Err, I mean to let the members of SP know a little more about you to get some context for your posts. (Yes, that'll do...)

I just turned 23. Ofelix, Arifirh and I have the same birthday, just different years. Heh, wait until you're 25, as I am, Laiwethal...

When you hit that point, you can't even lie to yourself about still being in your early 20s any more. My g/f just reached the same age and was in a foul mood about it for weeks. I was a bit more philosophical about it - then again, I still look 20 and get carded for ID everywhere I go.

Now, if Rally, HB, Nakia, Splunge or one of the other older SPers will come along and take my status as Oldest Person On This Thread from me, I'd appreciate it...

Laiwethel
Tue, 11th Oct '05, 2:25am
@NonSequitur - Yeah, I'm not looking forward to 25. All I can think of is that I'll be halfway to 50.

I get carded for ID occasionally, usually when I visit the States :rolleyes: . Haven't been carded here in Canada for about 9 months.

I don't actualy see the point in this poll, but nevertheless I am 19 years old.. I want to know what everyone's ages are in relation to mine, so that I can see how old the people I am talking to are.

Actually the last poll's just over a month oldSorry about that, then. I search in whatnots and their archives, rather than this section. I looked for "How old are you" and "Your age" and such. My mistake.

More than most people do. :heh: And even if you'd searched in SS, you probably wouldn't have found it unless you searched for "ancient". (It was called "SP Order of Ancientness", IIRC.)

@HB: Here's how:
He missed the first one by not being here yet (note the Dec 2004 register), and he missed the second one when he disappeared for two-and-a-half months between July 26 and October 9.

Kitrax
Tue, 11th Oct '05, 5:57am
Recently turned 21. Yay.

@Eldular, if your age = (2x2)4 + 1 does that mean that the age you *act* = (4+1)2? :p :hahaerr: :rolling:

@Magpie: Age, location, gender. Some people think the sky's going to fall on their heads if anyone on the internet finds out at least one of those. If I am concerned, everyone's free to do a thorough googling of my nickname, real name, whatever it takes. BTW, 22 years for me (1983 must have been a fertile year), now what the joke didn't work, anyway. ;)

Nakia

Man, take a few days off sans computer and you're not around! :) At least I was noticed MIA. :thumb:

It seems to me we just had one of these age things not long ago but maybe it just feels like not long ago in comparison to all my years. :geezer:

I'll vote but anyone desirious of seeing my age can check my profile.

Splunge is caught up in RL I understand. He's not old enough to have leisure time.

edit: Children, 30 is nothing. We have really old people on this board when looked at from you "babies" point of view. :p

So Splunge is 2D in hex? :hahaerr:

EDIT: It means that in hexadecimal (base 16; often used to describe computer data) you would be 2D.
(D=13) 2*16+13=45
So that means that hex calls you two-dimesional. :p [Nelson Muntz laugh]
