Koukatsu 5,899 January 21, 2016 Share January 21, 2016 We have at least one admin older than you, @Reprise. I'm 27. :v IIRC, our oldest member is, like, 65? Though I'm not sure he's active on the forums presently. :u I also moved this topic to a more appropriate forum. || Ponysona || Ask Me Anything || Johari Window || Twitch || Gamer Stuff || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fhaolan 4,483 January 21, 2016 Share January 21, 2016 Bwahahahahahahahaaaaa! I'm currently the oldest forum (and poniverse in general) staffer, though not the oldest member. There's about four of five active members like me in our late 40's. And there's one or two in the 50+ range. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reprise 60 January 21, 2016 Author Share January 21, 2016 Eee! It is awesome seeing so many of you pop up. It's definitely helping with me feeling more at home. I also moved this topic to a more appropriate forum. Thaaank you. I am still super newbie and tryin' to figure out where everything goes. I'll get the hang of it at some point, I promise.

My daughter liked it, and within a few weeks of watching the show, I became a super fan of it too. Took me from April until a few weeks ago to join this forum though, because I didn't want to go full brony. Now I have tickets to the NYC Ponycon, so, there you go.

Reprise 60 January 21, 2016 Author Share January 21, 2016 because I didn't want to go full brony. Now I have tickets to the NYC Ponycon, so, there you go. I really know that feeling. I've kind of held myself back for a while, especially since a lot of my energy has been going into a different fandom. I'm feeling really burned out on that though, after helping run conventions and fan sites, etc, but rarely coming away feeling like I'm even a part of the community. I decided to pop in this week, looking for a better fit. I'm also seriously considering going to BABSCon here in the Bay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PiratePony 8,475 January 21, 2016 Share January 21, 2016 I'm also seriously considering going to BABSCon here in the Bay. What really pushed me finally was all the voice actors coming, and I would love to see them in person, because they're the life blood of the show, imo. warning: biased actor is biased towards actors.

Hello, Sans! Boring is a relative term. Besides, if you're enjoying it (and it's legal), why should you care if everyone else thinks it's lame?

My 20's were the full subscription versus a few issues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
