Apologies for going off-topic, but I'll just explain. Firstly, anything I say here doesn't effect Nathan or Jack, just want to make that clear. They're nice guys, played with the two of you ages ago (briefly), and wanted to organise some tug stuff with you two, so this is nothing against you 2.
However, I always thought the main age on the forum was about 12 to be honest. Don't get me wrong, as it's obvious who the older members are (both in terms of age, and maturity), but I lost interest in trying to take part here when I saw that basically every thread was about a new 'shipping line' opening it's own forum. Also seeing other members just being plain a***'s to newer members (who might not necessarily know about the search feature for instance, might be new to the internet generally for instance), by coming across as an arrogant know-it-all, well I just stopped
wanting to take part here.
Regarding the question of age, I'll be honest and say that for me, I don't feel comfortable writing my opinions on things like features I'd like to see in the future etc etc, because I know that only a handful of people replying are actually of the same age. I don't just mean the years I've been alive there, I'm also referring to 'basic maturity', and I know there's a lot here, but by the time I stopped posting here regularly, it was just awful to be honest.
I have to say though, none of this ruins my enjoyment of the game, and I can't wait for the next one. I'll hopefully get to know some of the more mature members online one day, but I'm really busy, and usually only get on after work (2am UK time!). So Jack/Nathan, if you organise a tug competition again soon, drop me a PM and I'll see if I'm free as I'd love to take part.
