I am only 24, but it would seem I having serious trouble finding evidence that anyone else on this forum is as old or older than I. Surely I am not the geezer here? If so, I can only suppose it is appropriate, as I have enough grey hair that I get mistaken for someone in their late 30’s. I tried to start veiwing how old each member was by looking at their profiles, but I decided that would take too long, and so I look at the first ten names on 20 out of 26 letters as per the categories being arranged alphabetically, and it would seem the vast majority are 17 or younger, not a negative thing, and I tried to target some of the active members with whom I would feel that I am familiar with as well, but basic same result. Is this true? Did I just look at all the wrong profiles? Or, as I previously asked, am I one of the geezers here? Post your ages, just wanting to know how many Relms and how many Stregos we have.
Edit: Another reason I started this thread is that I was dissapointed with the fact that most of the ages were not mentioned in the birthday thread.
The old guard of the site are all in their lower-to-mid 20s.
Out of curiousity, would anyone happen to know the rule for written English concerning how you write out numbers? I was told back in the fifth grade (after trying to fill out a report concerning the planet Jupiter by expanding all number measurements into word form) that you only write out the numbers zero to twenty as words, and anything higher is written as 21, 3094, etc.
You write the numbers one through twelve as letters and everything above as numbers, unless it is in the beginning of a sentence, then you always write it out in letters.

I’m Transitory Guard. I’m from the Jim Era, but I was only a Staffer under him for 10 days or so. I would consider Orak the very first New Guard Staffer. However, I do classify myself as one of the Old Guard of the chat since my Op predates the Op Restructuring of 2001 or 2002. I’m the longest continually served Op, which is an accomplishment, I guess. Only two people with current Ops, Zepp and SG, had Ops as Old Guard, but they lost it. But still, I don’t know if I truly consider myself Staff Old Guard.
