    There was a man on here a while ago, he was in his 80's, but he got banned for abusive posts... go figure.

    I'm sure there's plenty of older boardsies around the site but I don't think that you'll find too many of them here in AH. I may be wrong though. It all depends on what you class as "older" though, doesn't it?

    If you got to the Birthdays list, there's a few posters who apparently turn 60 today!

    Paddy20?

    Quite a character alright. I think Smashey might be older than Hagar, not too sure afaik.

    You'd never guess Hagar's age from reading his posts though!

    <genuine question>

    Do the 'older people' on boards sometimes see a few topics go over your heads? Like do you sometimes not know what young 'uns are on about?

    My dad is 49 and learned how to text this year. I tried explaining what lol meant but gave up after a while. Didn't even go into yore ma. lol :o

    Yeah, Tar.Aldarion's profile says she was born in 1902. But I suspect that she may be lying :)

    I can rarely tell the age of anyone on boards. I do feel young now though!

    Also, OP, 48 is not old. So even if you were the oldest, you still wouldn't be old.

    I'm looking at it from the perspective of having a 50 year old father who is like a 20 year old though, so those with 'old' 50 year old parents might disagree!

    As above, I can't believe people think 49 is old/past it!

    You are as old as the woman you feel, unless it's the missus then you feel your age!

    I'm actually only 10, I just have Progeria which makes me as ugly as a 40 year old, I've started to torture prunes because it makes me feel better inflicting pain on something with more wrinkles than me, the doctor say's it's only a phase...

    Meh, mid 40s is young nowadays. One of the hottest guys I was ever with was 45 at the time (I was 26). Oh my god, he was SO deliciously hot!
