Will you still be posting on boards when you're 60?

Banned Account

Just wondering - will you still be posting in your grey years or is it a game for the young 'uns that will lose it's appeal? If you are still posting will you be greeted with the pitying smile usually reserved for that uncle you have who still dresses like sid vicious and listens to his punk collection on his 8-track?

I'd like to think that i'd still be keeping touch - but in reality I'm probably due to grow up in 15yrs or so.

Poor Uncle Tom

....pitying smile, indeed.....:mad:

CreepingDeath

Nah, by the time I'm 60 the place will be flooded with even more adverts and the artificially intelligent moderators will catch everything as you type it unless you can hide the meaning in metaphors.

Will I be posting next week?

Probably. :pac:

*Only joking. I'm old but not reached that age point yet - but its too closer than I like to think!

No , we will all be banned for breaking the rules.

orourkeda

I'll definitely have been perma banned within 27 years

Dravokivich

Yeap... and will be muttering to the whippersnappers of the future about Hary Harney, Head Shops, the bleedin' R*******N, fúcking bankers, bail outs, corrupt muppets...

AnonoBoy

I'll be long sitebanned by then I'd say.

Brendog

No....in 60 years I'll be too busy flying around on my hover car and taking holidays on the moon as well as having all my meals in pill form.

Definitely.. Sure my kid's first words will be 'tits or get the fuk out'.

biko

Boards at 60? Probably not. But will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I'm 64?

GavRedKing

I know a few over 70s already on the board, some play jokes and have massive fun with the kids. Others are experts I their fields and continue on board as professors Emeritus.

Kids have a nuclear viewpoint, as your post demonstrates, and the concept that only young people are on board etc is a natural expectation for them.

Which should not be so as who invented all these things? They are all in their 60s now and even Bill Gates himself still has fun on internet forums.

And if you read widely on all board you will see it spawn newspaper, magazine, TV, Radio chat and radio shows ~ heavens forbid, if ever the board were to go down # 1/2 the media reporters and researcher in Ireland would have no show tomorrow.

Greyfox

I'd say so as the older I've gotten the more I've wanted to whinge and moan about everything and I'm pretty sure at 60 I'll be an old fart that no-one wants to listen to in person so message boards will be my only outlet!

I'm 65 and I was taught this in school in the 60s as well. Unfortunately we found out how bad electromagnetism is for us humans. Although the Japanese do have a version of hover train which cleverly is only live as the train passes over the rails and the passengers are well protected otherwise.

I did the meals in pill form in the 60s too ~ yup we had it back then. And it worked too but it had side effects, rock hard faeces, sudden and total collapse if one pill was missed or delayed.

And our projections for the next 40 years will still not colonise the Moon, NASA have changed direction and is making robots only ~ space flight seemingly disagrees with us too.

More likely you'll a though chip in your brain linked to your Visa card, if you think of boards.ie you'll be charged, you will get mental pictures injected directly into you cerebellum when you log in, no PC necessary.

Nah i doubt it. My attention span to things is only a few years. I'll probably have found something else to do all day by then. Maybe.

Not creepy enough yet - besides, if you wait until your 60 and in poor health, you'll only get a suspended sentence

The_Kew_Tour

I be just thankful I be still alive at 60 never mind post on here.

Ruu_Old

I doubt it, barely post anymore as it is.

Sea Sharp

hopefully not. I never imagined I'd be still posting here in my 20s.
Who's to say boards will be around in 2050 though.

With the way boards has gone in the last 10 years , what way will the rules be in another 20 . Will it go like the US were you can be banned for saying "Happy Christmas" as it will offend people of other religions ?

starbelgrade

My ultimate goal in life, is that by the time I reach 60, I will be very wealthy & will be in a position to employ somebody to post on Boards for me.

Then, I will be living the dream.

BeeJazizWafuls

Thomas828

Let's see... That'll be in 2031. Will boards.ie still exist then? Come to think of it, will the internet as we know it still exist or will it have mutated into a global mind-controlling monstrosity? If the answer to the first two questions is yes then I probably will. My post count will probably be a six-figure number...
