How old are you?

Am I the only one that sees "105 voters"? I didn't know we had that many active posters...o_O!

I don't think we have that many...but a lot of people do come on every once in awhile.

I will be 23 next month. I was I think 14 or 15 when I started graal though.

I'm glad this poll got a lot of voters. It proves at least somewhat that the majority of at least the forumgoers are 18 or older. (even if a handful of people lied)

Maybe we'll get lucky and the staff/administration who think that the majority of Graal are young teens will change their opinion. It's worth a shot anyway. (and yes Darlene, that's what was implied in that line from the rules, it was just worded poorly) Even if it was actually worded to say that "a lot" of Graal's userbase are young teenagers, I think the results of this poll at least bring up a valid argument to the contrary.

But you have no idea of the age group of people who view the forums, but do not post, or rarely post.

I have no idea? I have a better idea than someone who is taking a wild guess.

In fact, it's safe to assume that they fall in the same age range as the posters who voted. I mean logic will tell you that if the majority of the people who voted are 18 or over, then the majority of people who haven't voted are most likely also 18 or over.

Why do you think people get away with those "the american public" polls? They poll like 3000 people over the phone. I would hardly consider that everyone in North America. But they are allowed to poll so few people because you're getting a general idea with those numbers.

This is not like voting for the president where one state might be filled with democrats. This is a community of people interested in Graal. The majority of the community falls into a specific age group, and that age group is not "young teens".

I don't see how it can be made any more clear. Other than literally verifying everyone's age.

It's not like they agreed to the rules anyway.

Actually it is.

You fail to comprehend what everybody else understands.

Just because Graal is aimed towards young teens doesn't mean just young teens play the game or frequent the forums. Most of the people I've met are 16 or older.

Actually, you fail to understand that I already know this. The fact still remains that young teenagers DO play this game, and read/post on the forums. You know, it really doesn't matter how many young teenagers play or read these forums, they do. Graal is for all ages, it states this on the website, this is not news....
I am glad to see all ages playing.

How many young teens do you see posting on the forums?

Do you believe everything you read? I wasn't aware that a game with people dueling with swords and guns and being sliced and shot and bleeding and dying was for all ages. I guess I learned something today.

It's perfectly okay for 13 year olds to shoot eachother and bleed on Graal, but it's not okay for them to hear the f word.

I think you might need to go re-read the things I have said....

Oh, is that why you made this thread? To question the rules?
Look, what you just said has nothing to do with the age groups that visit graal or the forums, and I am not about to have this argument again...

No, I made this thread so that people could get an idea of the age bracket for the majority of posters here.

What I just said has everything to do with what I just quoted you on. You just made a statement that Graal is for all ages and I just gave you examples of how it's not. Now instead of admitting that Graal might not be for all ages, you're going to avoid my point and say you don't want to have an "argument".

Otherwise I will take your silence as that you do think Graal with it's sword slashing and gun shooting and killing is for all ages.
