Is it 13? Thought there was an agreement somewhere with a higher age.
13 is the only age limit I'm aware of. Other than that special board where we all posted naked pictures of ourselves of course. We had to raise the age limit to 100 on that one, even 18 wasn't enough after a while.
Can you lift my ban on that board yet? I promise I'll be good this time. I need access to the Tynstar pics!!!!

Very true Shadow, I am a teacher and can tell you no matter how intelligent the kid is, they still say ridiculous things or very insightful things. I avoid the word stupid because the kids are not stupid they just make mistakes most of the time cause they don't know yet. The question is how mature, civil, and respectful can a person be when discussing opinions.
I think people on here are careful about what they say, and honestly if someone has an issue with the topic they can share it with the community or avoid the topic.
There are plenty other things to talk about on here that are not controversial that people can still discuss with others.

Can't find the controversial topics? Trust me, they are here, though buried deep, and shining examples of how
not
to have civilized conversation in a forum.

But mostly it's things like, "Do box variations count if it's only a sticker?" and discussions about downloadable-only games.
You think I'm joking....

The non-physical discussions are my least favorite. We have extreme proponents of both, and each is at a loss as to why the other even exists.
Generally I do what my Mom always told me, and abstain from discussions I can add nothing to. I mean, can't we all just get a C64 and get along?

Actually, many of the controversial topics are from older years, and quite a few were also lost in the outage. As much as you think silly database discussions are controversial, we've dealt with topics and members that have resulted in criminal investigations.
No worries - the community has always dealt with these things.

To be honest with you, I'd rather not have religious discussions on a gaming forum. The always boil down to flame wars. You can get some interesting discussions but there's too many people that have a one dimensional view of things, and get hyper offended if others don't share their same world view. I'd rather see that stuff confined to Facebook and YouTube comments.

You know what discussion I'm surprised never got started? Whose regional food is better? I was in the middle of one of those in a Giant Bomb forum and it deteriorated quickly. I think it started when I posted pics of a delicious cheese-steak I made at home in Michigan and was blasted because I didn't make it in Philadelphia.
Man, talking about food. Who's up for a catfish po boy? I'd drive the 1k miles to Jan's Cajun in Lafitte to get me another one of those bad boys.

Pizza in south Florida is better than any pizza I've had elsewhere in the country. that is all.

A physical C64, or a virtually emulated C64? Sounds like fightin' words...

I do wish folks had more civility and open-mindedness when it comes to discussions of beliefs and worldviews, and I know what you mean about desiring to protect the few safe havens that exists on the 'net. I just tend to offer to PM back and forth if anyone wants to discuss things, and hope they will.
And for the record, the best pizza is my Beloved's homemade deep dish. Feel free to disagree while I enjoy edible deliciousness.

A real one, naturally, although I am considering an Ultimate 1541 to go along with it (Hillsfar and a few others are to the point where they only run half the time). I feel the real fightin' with the C64 is between controllers: joystick or Genesis/Megadrive gamepad?
Mmm. Pizza. I feel the best judge of the quality of a city is in their pizza. Fortunately I consider myself region-less in this regard (I once bought a pizza out of a place that was basically two welded together double-wides that happen to have a brick oven inside located literally out in the middle of the woods).

Y'know, spending a significant part of my youth growing up alongside the Mississippi, I had many a fresh catfish, some of which I caught myself.
I... do not enjoy the taste of them at all. Even a little bit. I would try one every few years, as I do any food I don't like, just to see if I could refine a taste for it, and nope. Those ugly bottomfeeding critters still taste rather yucky for me.
Probably the most fun freshwater fish to catch though.

For me, a sign of a good pizza is to have quality cheese that doesn't break down into oils upon heating, as well as a crust that is soft and crisp with a mild crunch, so 'greasy pizza' and 'good pizza' are contrary terms. Then again, typical Americana foods are amongst my least favorite in the cultural foods spectrum.
And as for controllers, Bomba; I was born and raised on a classic Atari joystick, and spent my youngest gaming years on one from the Atari through the C64. So naturally I choose... the D-pad. Hands down. I remember how foreign that original NES controller felt the first time I held it at a friend's house, but after many hours of training on SMB, Tiger Heli and Zelda II, I just couldn't go back. I still plug a Genesis or Master System controller into our Atari Systems when I play. Blasphemous to some, but I challenge those puritans to beat
Necromancer
without destroying as many joysticks as I did.
