As some of you know, I joined AncientSites at age 12 and, needless to say, I was hooked young. Looking back it was definitely too early, even though I'd say I qualified for that "braniac" tag. (In retrospect, I believe intelligence declines with age and alcohol.) I do think for the most part AncientWorlds is clean, but we are also comfortably adult and that comes out in our more festive discussions/parties. I say I was too young because developmentally I didn't "get" some of the adult discussion.

Corny said it, age isn't a factor with membership. I would image that those early adolescents who do seek out and have any interest in AncientWorlds are probably well above par. In other words, they're the best this age group could offer up to us. But they are definitely kids in a world made by and for grown-ups.
