I am stunned how often I'll go to put someone whose intelligence, grammar, and behavior is that of a 13-14 year old and their profile says they are 28-40 years old...
I know they are lying because anyone that age who is that stupid surely never figured out how to use the internet.
Also if anyone over the age of 22 ever posts a "u mad" image, they should kill themselves.
No one really does that right?
I don't think I've ever posted "u mad?" but I post a ton of stupid stuff and am 38. At issue is that, to me, the internet is one place I can blow off steam and act like a jerk sometimes. All the pent up frustration from work ya dig?
I have no clue why somebody would fake their age. It's a basketball forum, not a bar. Really no advantage to being older.
I'm 21
Problem?

wait hold on, you're saying people act like jerks on the internet? THE HECK YOU SAY!
I'm 20. Is that too young for ISH? Btw, I agree those "u mad" pics are childish.

No. I stopped doing that when I was like 18 and the internet was brand new.
Get a membership to a gym and workout or join a rec sports league to blow off steam. Don't antagonize anonymous people for no reason. I don't see how any well-adjusted adult would think that's a worthwhile pursuit.
Also there is a never a good reason to act like a jerk for the sake of acting like a jerk. That's what teenagers do before they grow up.

I'm 21, what would telling people I'm 30 serve? Why would an 18 year old want to lie and be 21? I get the advantages offline, but on a msg board it makes no sense to me.
I'm 24. But I don't mind people having some fun around here.
It's just a forum, don't take it too seriously.

I don't agree with you. Basically I think you're a conceded asshole that believes your way is the right way even though it's completely subjective. When you get older you'll learn to not worry about what other people do or say and focus on yourself.

I certainly have, although people that have seen me post obviously know that's few and far between. Truthfully speaking I'm 24 years old. I don't see why anybody over 22 would lie about their age because after a while you feel pathetic being in your 20s yet arguing with 15 y/o's on a basketball forum. The only reason people post those gifs is the comedic value of it. I personally literally lol quite a bit when a flame war ensures in a thread in which it eventually degrades into a gif/u mad posting war.
Makes a thread about people's ages.
Doesn't state his own age.
U mad?
I'm 16 :confusedshrug:

But if you're 14, tellling somebody over the internet that you may be arguing/debating with that you're 30 (in their minds) brings instant credentials..

I guess. It's the internet and 2012 tho, everybody has the same resources. Unless your like really old and got to watch Wilt play live or some shit.
Yeah I'm 16 over here as well.
HA I actually lied in this thread about my age. I'm still 37 for another month. Is it really lying when you were just wrong?
Anyways, I think there's a difference between arguing with people, online flame wars etc, and stalking people and stealing their identity and other stuff GOAT does which is why he started this thread.

This.
I have never even considered the possibility of posters lying about their age. What would be the benefit?

I'm just trying to look at it from the perspective of a young kid. For the most part, i'd say everybody on ISH is close to the same age
I officially became old this year. :(
The Big 3 Zero.

Of course, but that type of behavior is only acceptable for teenagers in my opinion. After that, you are, as you stated, just an a[COLOR="Black"]s[/COLOR]shole.
18 years old..

Not in my case. I couldn't care less about a poster's age or anything else, since I can be sure of nothing on the internet anyway. The only thing I care about, which is the only thing I can be 100% sure about, is the content of their posts. Nothing else matters. If the content of their posts show that they're ignorant and don't know what they're talking about, then their age is irrelevant to me. They're ignorant and don't know what they're talking about. It doesn't matter if they're 30 or 300.
Conversely, if the content of their posts shows that they're knowledgeable and know what they're talking about, then, again, their age is irrelevant to me. They're knowledgeable and know what they're talking about. Nothing else is of any concern to me.
14 here and I think that that Michael Jordan dude is the GOAT and comparing how excellent that man is to Kobe is hilarious.

I just think it's funny when the 10-year-old douche bags act like they're established adults with actual lives. I'm talking about you, LeBron23. :oldlol: @ being a 30 plus year old who works as a lawyer.
