Let's just say I watched Star Wars Episode IV at the movies when they didn't know if there would ever be a second movie.
Getting uncomfortably close to 20,000 days.
I just learned today that this Star Wars movie I watched at the movies when nobody knew there would ever be a second movie, even had a title other than "Star Wars". And Harrison Ford became my teenage idol. Maybe still is. And how I hated that cow-eyed Luke...
I can't understand anyone hating on The Phantom Menace when Attack of the Clones is clearly the worst Star Wars movie of all (and I'm counting the disney movies).
You obviously are not including Caravan of Courage and Battle for Endor. (watch Wicket talk at the end - his mouth moves like a nutcracker!)
Born in 1970, WKRP was the first 'grown-up' show I ever watched. Loved it then, still do now. They released a DVD set a few years back that has about 90% of the original music. Pink Floyd were the only artists I remember refusing to let them use their song(s), but there may have been more.

I wasn't including them, lol. But I did watch and enjoyed both. They're not that bad, as far as made-for-TV childrens movies go. I never got to watch the christmas special though, I've heard it's awful.
I also seem to be tracking how many monkey wrenches can be chucked at/in/and around my body and mind over the years and still have it start up in the mornin. I'm pretty sure I voided my warranty over the years though, especially with 'after market' bits and parts.
I'm 36, but I have been known to genuinely forget my age and say I am 37. I used to be a really immature, young man in older mans body until the age of around 32-33, then something happened and I suddenly aged around 30 years overnight and now sits comfortably as a ~50 year old in my 36 year old body.
I was expecting this to be an epic rebellion piece about overthrowing the staff and starting the Age of Forum members, putting an end to the tyranny of the moderation crew. But alas, Life is synonymous with disappointment.

After what members have revealed about their inner selves in the First thing you would do if you were a mod thread, I don't blame the moderators for defending their position, as well as the sanity of the forums!

To quote Carrie Fisher: "It was awful, and I don’t mean awful in a good way.”
I'm just curious as to the age of the forum members. What I really wonder is what references to older movie, novel, TV, radio, or media references in general will go over the head of current members. Rounding to the nearest 5 years will be sufficient to slake my curiosity
I'll tell you that I was born in 1967 to kick things off...
HAHA. Me too. 1967 was clearly the awesomest year ever!
Born in '89 here and feeling like a kid due to this thread.
I was class of '89 in college. It freaks me out that many of my students have no knowledge of the fall of the Berlin Wall. But pretty soon I'll have students who are post-9/11. Yikes!!
Someone else already mentioned this but I, also, am old enough to know better.
However, if you must have a number then I am twice as old as @Skatan was when I was three times as old as he was when I was six times as old as he was when I was four times as old as he was when I was eight times as old as he was when I was seven times as old as he was. Some of you are pretty crafty so it shouldn't take too long to figure that one out.
@kanisatha Too be fair, I was also born after the Wall fell and I am German, but we never spoke about the GDR or the Cold War in school. Granted, I live about as far west as it goes, but in retrospect this is still really really weird to me.
Somehow I have a vague memory of my parents trying to tell me of this momentous event (the fall of the Wall), but as I was 4 years old, I did not really register it on their level (they were history teachers too, double the interest).
Title of this thread sound like some epic mod for Age of Empires. And let's just say I am the youngest one in here.
Well the age of the actual 'Forum' in Rome is over 2000 years so any members would be pretty ancient! That would be a pretty cool tie in to AoE. Age of Empires, Undead Emperors Edition!

And I've travelled about 18.15billion miles relative to the sun.
