I just wanted to know her children's social status to compare it with their tolerence for their mother's MMO-gaming.

Good lord is this hypocritical... critisism for playing a game because its a video game from other people that enjoy it. By that logic....

People play sports until they're like 50, but video games are different in society.

You people are pathetic! Playing graal...pah! MMORPGS are for nerds. YOU NERDS!! Go outside, play some soccer, hang out with your friends at a cafe...anything other than video games.

What about the parents that play poker online? Is that more acceptable to you? Basketball you approve of, no problem we already know that.

I DO NOT ACCEPT

Why shouldn't an adult play a video game? Why should they be excluded?

Ask society that drew me into the opinion. Kthx

Younger generations are the ones that typically find fun in digital goodness, yes. If somebody else thinks its enjoyable, your just ready to toss it aside and tell them that its not right for them to be playing? Let people just live their lives. Let em do what they think is fun, who are you to say that its wrong? (Why is it wrong? It's not)

Who's to say it's not wrong?

I know this thread is (edit: was) a long read...so you probably skipped it...but you missed *why* she said that.
She got that conclusion from the answers of other people. They gave her that answer, she didnt just pull it out of her ass.

I've been reading and posting in the thread since it's creation. I know a few people suggested this, but they didn't really give evidence, and a lot of people suggested alternate explanations.

Not everything comes from evidence.
I came to my conclusion from what people said both in this thread, and in game over several years.

This thread is starting to get funny. People arguing about why Moonie collects so much **** from other players.
Could it be that there are hundreds of reasons?
Thousands (if you count the forums).
Most of us here have expressed one clear thing: We don't care about age.
Mabye, just maybe, there are other factors, and making fun of your age is the only thing you can't disprove or say anything about. It's awsome that you're still playing. I think it's other things that cause people to complain.
(A LOT of other things =\)...I got this in before thread closure =P

Dayum VT is walking all over.

VT, I do not parent other peoples children, that is obviously not my job.
You completely misunderstood what I said, which wouldn't be hard, since you are not a parent.
Only a parent would know what I meant, and I did not mean I parent the people on Graal. they do not need a mom, they already have one (or Dad, or other caregiver).

This thread for the most part, has been turned into a thread for some users to complain about my position on the forums, which is not what the thread was started for, and I am not going to argue about my position on these forums.
If you want to complain, complain to Unixmad.
If he finds I am doing something wrong, he can talk to me about it, or fire me.
Stop using every single thread that you can to attack my job on the forums.

All I wanted to know were thoughts from players as to why they have a problem with older adults on the game, nothing more.
I didnt ask who or why some people have a problem with my job on the forums. In fact, I didnt ask about the forums at all.

Those of you who did not have a reply to the question that I asked, should have not posted at all, but as usual, there are those few who just cannot wait to attack me in any thread that they can when they see a little hint of an opening (even when there isnt one). I find it quite disrespectful personally to anyone that this is done to (oh no, is mentioning respect a parental thing?)

I am quite proud of who I am, and my kids are quite proud of who I am, and my husband is quite proud of who I am, even my parents are quite proud of who I am, and my friends (both in real life, and on Graal).
Even Unixmad seems to be proud of who I am (Dont know about Stefan or other admins, I hardly ever speak to them).
I have solid morals, which I am proud of.
I do not believe rules were made to be broken, but enforced.
If this makes a few kids mad, then whatever. Get over it because your whole life will be filled with rules (uh oh, another parental flaw).
All in all, Everything that I am makes up me as a whole, and being a mom and Grandma is part of who I am, and I am not ashamed of it in the least, quite proud actually.
And I love Graal, and I am not ashamed of that either, nor will I ever be.

As far as Kaimetsu being a better mod? You are intitled to your opinion, but Unixmad certainly wasn't happy with the way the forums were being moderated, so that tells me that Unixmad does not want a "relaxed" moderator.

I guess making a thread to get honest opinions from some Graalians was a bad idea. I should have known that a select few would bring other things in it, and ruin it.
At least a few did answer the actual question.

Oh yea, and I didnt fight the no linking rule, because I knew Unixmad was going to make the private forum for that reason, so the members were still going to be able to do it. Unixmad has reasons for why he does things.
