I never thought there was an age limit for posting on a video game site.

What if your body takes the form of you below 13 years of age in heaven? :shock: An eternity without Gamespot...

I don't think age should limit the websites you can go to.

if you talk about the good ol' days all the time, or use the phrase "kids these days" you may be on your way to being too old for gaming. but in general, age is just a number. there's no limit. this is not Logan's Run (although referencing that movie may make me too old...)

You are never too old for gaming, some people just get too caught up on their ages and freak. I say get over it and have some fun! But logans run, I better hide as I am almost 30. *Hides*

BTW, the remake of that movie comes out next year. So just say you mean the remake and claim you are a teenager.

I don't think it really matters, as long as your 13+. Anyone younger than that should probably stay away.

Off-topic isn't a video gaming forum, so anyone up to 120 should be fine.

The first time you read an insanely funny/witty comment you have posted and realize "wow.... this is ****ing stupid" is the moment you have become too old for OT.

I automatically assume anyone posting is a teenager, but I know that's not the case, so....hm..30? Yeah, that sounds good.

This thread is ironic.

I was told today that I am too old to be posting on a gaming forum. To which I asked, "Why?" and no reasonable answer was given. I think as long as GS has great people, and the riff-raff keep getting banned then I say keep on posting. People seem to think that talking to people via the interwebz is crazy or juvenile. I have no idea why, but they are entitled to their opinions.

Ok, I was just told posting on GS is similar to being in diapers. Eventually you have to stop, and grow out of it. I just lost a little respect for my GF. However, she is a technophobe.

She's kinda right unless you just come for certain users in OT you'll out grow the gaming and tech parts of the site and move on to a more hardcore site.

There is no 'too old.' When the site no longer interests or entertains you, that's when it's time to leave.

I disagree. I love GS. I have seen other internet forums (NEOGAF, Gamepro, Shoryuken,, etc.), and they are great for browsing but I have no interest in the communities. There are times I am disappointed in the community of GS but, as of yet, I have seen nothing that makes me want to move to another forum.

There isn't one. I guess it depends on your tolerance of 13-16 year olds.

You are never too old to post on a video game website, or to play video games in general.

If you enjoy video games and messing around on online forums then there is no age limit, but if you think you're too old then that age. :P

Actually, interestingly enough, every single age poll taken on GameSpot indicates that the people aged between 13-16 are a small minority on the site.
