Original Menewsha had many older users because the site is far more quite and laid back the normal avatar sites.

I myself am 21 and most of the my friends here are older then 18. ^^

I don't mind younger members but some of them are rather immature. >>;

Getting on that list was hard haha. And seriously, it was only a few hundred gold that you even needed to be there!

I'm 18, almost 19. Google had its 10th anniversary last fall. I made my first website at 11, but... I remember clearly asking my mom a year previous and she kept telling me no, so I did it without permission. I was into Pokémon then. I remember being on my mother's Windows 95 using dial-up to instant message with ICQ when I was even younger than that... basically though, I took my mother's computer and adapted with the internet. I've been around the internet longer than most of it has existed, and I've seen the population change... it went from nerds, to anime fans, to gamers, and suddenly MySpace preps. I have a strong dislike for chatspeak, because I grew up with it being inappropriate. >_< No one understood you when you used to use acronyms. I first got sent an 'lol' in 6th grade and kind of stared at it funny. That's just how much the internet has evolved, but----

---Menewsha. Older crowd? I hope so. But this is the internet, age may not matter. Maturity? Definitely. We are a much more mature crowd, I believe. It's because Menewsha controls its spam. ^_^

Hey I'm 10 years old and I love Menewsha!! Woohoo!! Go Menewsha!!

Just kidding, I think there are older people here because Menewsha was designed to be for more mature people. Hyuck.

I joined gaia knowing it was quite an immature site (when I say immature I mean for younger users) at the age of 17, thinking oh my god im sad but I mainly did it because iminto game design anime and anything to do with computering so I thought having a look around could show me the inns and outs of sites such as avi sites...

I'm now 19 and still think im too old for sites like this but I do enjoy talking with the people on here because they actually seem to have brains lol :)
you see the alians turned all the gaia people into cows :D so now all they seem to be able to do is say
"your a noob"
"NO your the noob noob!!"
"wateva NOOB"

and so the conversation continues
... ....
....
... "NOOB"

lol

But yesh my point, I like it here, im not the best at writing as I failed english and do art in college so have not much time to write and I guess doing this is kind of teaching me again to be more literate (and to spell better...kinda :P)

I agree. I find much more older people on here. Its way more sophisticated then Gaia Online. Well of course I started playing that game when I was 10, but I was and I still am a very mature person. I actually find it quite serene not having immature people lurking around in every corner. Its actually quite hard to believe that I am just a 13 year old myself.

I don't know...?

From my experience, even when I first signed up, Menewsha seemed to have more older people (older teens and people all through their 20s). I'm not sure why... I suppose its the no spam rules?

Well I am 28 yrs old... and I just find Menewsha more mature... not necessarily age mature..just mentally mature. I see alot of 14 year olds in here who I thought were around my age because of the way they present themselves online. I enjoy it here for this reason.

Kids at nine even, can type faster than some adults. But they're Mainly out of shape computer nerds (sorry for stereotype)

:D I never noticed, but I'm 17 and I prefer this site over Gaia because the posts here are more literate than on Gaia.

Just thought I'd pop in and clock my age at 25. As mentioned before previously though it seems the mental capacity of our average user seems to be able to handle deep conversation and typing using full sentences, and also spelling and grammar in tact. (Although my punctuation has a lot to be desired...) I love it. I hate places where they text speak and conversation seems so petty and just uninteresting.

I'm 21 myself. If people here are a bit older, I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing. It makes for easier conversation at least, lol

I dunno... I don't know to many people here so I cant judge, lol. I'm like 13 xP Most of my Gaian friends are 14+

EDIT: Which sucks cause I cant buy the monthly collectibles, lol. *Starts saving up allowance*

Kids are learning to type at a younger age no though, so they are learning long before most of us did, I was in about the fifth grade when I learned to type, around eighth when I become a rather quick and clean typer.

As for age, with the cutesy avatars and such, I have a hard time picturing anyone on avatar sites older than their avatar appears. Even if I am a college level student myself.
