I can understand idiots under the age of 13 signing up for NG, but seriously, I've known 14-year-olds who were much more mature than many of the adults I know (ie. at least half of NG's members).

So, seriously, what the hell?

And before anyone rags on me for age, I'm 20, in college and shit.

Most immature members have little grammar usage, no use of remotely good spelling, and they usually pollute the forums with spam of one kind or another. Age doesn't matter, as long as you act more mature than the age which stereotypes affect (Such as 13 year olds being retarded).

Everyone at one point has preconceived thoughts about the near-and-or-just-over underage, and let me tell ya', they aren't always positive ones.
I think the reason the 12-15 year olds get flammed is because of the overwhelming majority of in-person 12-15 year olds they know that tend to act completely childish. THUS, making their actions and views towards them a lot less respectful.

However, it's just a problem that everyone has to face today - Stereotypes, racism, prejudice, etc...
As long as we have Freedom of Speech, they won't stop, and even our rights of expression were taken away, people would still find ways to insult anything.

Just have to learn to live with it.

you would be surprised how many people who are respected on the BBS are younger then their userpages say. Its a stereotype to an extent.

Well, I'm 14, and I was a twat when I signed up (when I was 11, I believe). I like to think I've matured though, and it's great to be spoken to like an adult. I don't think age is the one and only factor in "maturity", it differs from person to person, although generally, as people get older, they get more mature.

Sure, there are decent kids around that age, but most of them are pretty empty minded. Your brain pretty much shuts off at age 13 and it's slowly turning back on at age 14.

I saw someone flame a 15 year old just because of his age.

The 15 year old was being a whole lot more mature than the other guy, who was 26 I believe.

I totally agree.

While I agree with you on that, I was asking why age mattered on the BBS, after seeing people get flamed just because they were younger than 18.

Its because in NEWGROUNDS logical thinking, if your younger than 18 then you are considered an immature child that fucks up the forums.

Mental age is just as important.

Something this site is sadly lacking in.

I assume he's not below 13, mainly because his signup is in '04.

But mostof you seriously need to seriously shut the fuck up. This is NewGrounds.

In case you didn't know, NewGrounds is a site devoted to fucking cartoons, 99% of them made by horny fapping male teenagers.

Woo, my 300th post

My maturity shines through

I guess because teenagers are seen as immature adolescents who are only interested in 'Hentai' and abusing the BBS. I'm 15 , and I don't write comments lik3 th1s. I also don't really care if people my age get a bad rep. As long as you don't write comments with poor grammar and little structure, people won't care about your age. Abuse the system and they will.
