who care about age when age is not a game.

well i prefer when people just don't mention their age around the internet. because when people did that they do it for authority.

Or they do it for clemency, "I'm only 12!!"

I don't care about your age as long as you act mature with your approach to making things and interactions.

I like that the classic stereotype of "13 year old with a big idea needs a artist and a programmer" is pretty much dead because self reliance and the tools have become so prevalent that everything feels accessible.

Eh, what do we care? I made my first site at 12, when the legal age to make sites was 13. Back then, website programmers made a ton of money so that was kind of a big thing. I think most of us did stuff like that.

I think he's talking about this:

Another idiotic law that supposedly "protects" children by effectively preventing them from doing things that adults can do (like, you know, join a forum).  My kid simply lies about his age all the time when signing up for sites.  Another great life lesson---you have to lie to get by!

ANYWAY, to the OP, by the way you write, I wouldn't have known you were young.  There are some very young people doing some really amazing things in video games.  YOU ARE THE FUTURE.


Also, have you ever thought about fighting for your right to vote?  Young people comprise the last group that faces taxation without representation.  Some dudes threw tea in the harbor over that long ago.

most young people who can vote dont even bother

[Jason Rohrer]

What young people (like, under 18) can vote?  Oh, some countries have lowered it to 16:

That's a start!
