    I found clutchfans in 97, but I didnt joined the BBS until 2003, a day after my 19th birthday, Im 25 now, so I've been here for a little more than 6 years.

    If you go to the D&D you will find that most of the new posters are in high school.

    What does it matter? If high school kids love the Rockets with a passion (such as me), they have as much right as you do. I'm 17, and I'm proud to say I'm a Rockets fan.

    It doesn't necessarily matter, but there's generally a direct correlation between a poster's age and the quality of their posts. I know I posted like a dumbass when I was 16 or 17, but more power to you if you buck the trend.

    It matters because high school kids aren't quite able to grasp certain concepts and ideas that us older, college-educated folks can. ALL high school kids have one-dimensional thought processes that can only allow for bad discussion, bad threads, and bad... everything.



    AND... if a good looking high school girl walks around, I can't pull out the 'ol Greg Oden :(

    Geez, so you were like what, 12 or 13?

    It's amazing to think how long this place has been around. I first started posting on the old site when I was 16. Now I'm just about 28. You'd think I'd have reached 10,000 posts by now...

    Fine, I'll spare you.

    But I'm going to eat an extra delicious animal or two today.

    maybe the original people on here just aren't willing to admit they are old.

    I think I am the second oldest regular poster.

    Older than Deckard, younger than B-bob. I'm 57.

    If Clutchfans would have been around for the 1981 Rockets I would have started posting then. We would have had to print out a monthly newsletter on a mimeograph machine.

    B-bob has found a a way to transcend time and space, so the answer to that question is relative.

    I was 28 when I signed up for this version of the BBS. Probably 26 or 27 when I first found it. Now I'm 38. So much can, and has, happened in the last 10 years. Very odd that this board would be a common thread throughout.
