when is too old for kh-vids??

so i do a lot of thinking whenever i sign into kh-vids, and every time i wonder when it is just going to seem wrong of me to be on here anymore. i know i shouldn't feel awkward or old but since i'm out of high school i can't help but feel weird about it at times. all i wonder is when it is going to start being inappropriate to be on here. i love RP'ing and i'm afraid some day i'm just going to have to stop completely because i should be acting "more grown up." kh-vids is supposed to be a semi-kids sight, but i have to keep reminding myself that the series started in america when i was like 9, so by that logic it is directed towards my age group and there are others on here that are the same age. but i didn't start playing til i was in like 8th or 9th grade. so i'm a little late on the times. idk... does anyone else ever feel like they are too old or running out of time for enjoyment on here? i think it mostly just "flares up," if you will, when my boyfriend teases me for being rp obsessed, but he has no room to talk because he's been playing WoW longer then i've been a kh-vids member.

interested to hear everyone's opinions on it or how old they currently are. stuff like that. i'll be 20 in february and i just feel like my days are rapidly becoming numbered. =/

 

I' m 32, ditto.
When I see people concerned about being too old for this or that, desperately trying to avoid things that might make them look inappropriately childish, to me it just shows how immature they actually still are.

 

I don't think it's a big deal. I've been here since I was 16, I think, and I'll be 21 in three or so week. I understand that the site was originally aimed at a younger audience, but like the series (and most other series), the audience of it has grown with the site. I do plan on quitting or at least severely limiting my presence here in about a year, when I start Law School. I don't take my current studies too seriously so I have plenty of time to procrastinate and slack off. Can't do that in law school, though.

 

Like Patman and Bueno said, I don't think it's necessarily a big deal. Just depends on how you feel about it yourself. For me, I'm currently 18 (going on 19 this December), and I don't feel awkward at all posting on here, despite light teasing by a friend. xD

But to be honest, I've been considering leaving around 28 or so. Can't know the future for sure, but by then I'd be hopefully settling down with a career and all that, and I don't think I'd have much time for KHV. That's just how I feel about myself being here, though.

 

I don't think it's age-wise so much as how you feel about being on the site. There could be a 40-year old who could play Kingdom Hearts and still like it. It all really just depends on your mindset, nothing else to it. I've been on here only for a year, but I bet I'd still check in now and then when I'm in my 20's just because it's something that gets people together and talk about something they all enjoy. Even though games are directed for a certain age group, there's no harm in someone outside of that age group taking a liking to it and staying on a site for who-knows-how-long

 

Age is an issue on KHV? Never.

We all joined for different reasons, but most stay for 1 reason, the people on here.
It's the only reason I kick around really, and so long as you continue to bond with the people on the site I don't think there is such a thing as being too old for the site.

 

Agreed.

Even if friends mock you for being on a website based on a "children's video game," that's not why most of us have stayed on these forums. No, we stay for the people, and despite what many might say, people you meet online can be just as close as friends you meet in real life.

But this is just me getting off topic. I really don't think there's an age limit to KHV per se, seeing as there are people of many different age groups here. When you're "too old" for this site is really up to each individual member.

 

I'll never leave you again <3.

 

I don't think there's a specific age or number. I think it's up to the person. As stated, a lot of us are here for the people. Myself personally would like to be off of KH-Vids in the next few years (age 23-25 at the latest), hopefully, but that's not because of KHV or because it's Kingdom Heart's related. ​

​

It's because I waste a lot of time here. A LOT of time...And I'm hoping within the next few years I'll be too busy with irl things for it, or at least for a moderator position. I keep in touch with those I'm close to in other ways. ​

​

I don't know that I'll ever formally 'leave'. I actually think certain departure threads are pretty unnecessary (im leavng 4eva n nvr comin bck myy time hurr is ovr) unless that's definite, and I'm sure no matter what, I'd pop in and see how things were. I'm pretty sure it won't matter how old I get, so long as KHV is still up and running, I'll make visits. I just hope I'm not on 24/7 in the future like I am now. ;P ​

 

;] they are all very valid points and it's not like I'm insecure about being on here, i love it, i was just interested to hear what everyone else had to say. I feel like as long as everyone else is still on here for me to socialize with, I'll still be here. I've already been on here a lot less since I've been working so hard with my new job and all the "grown-upish" duties that come with it, but it's refreshing to log in on my free time and see all of you responding to my threads. =]

 

Heeyo, I've spent a third of my life here by now. I joined when I was 11, I'll be 18 in a month and a half. People are always all "jesus you've been here so long," "are you ever planning on leaving," "this site is your life," but you know, it's what I choose to fill my time with. Some people have sports or other hobbies, and this is mine. I enjoy the time that I spend here (though it has its ups and downs), I like the people (most of you c: ), and I wouldn't trade for the world the years I've put into the site, and the years it has given me. I've had to think a lot about how I spend my time lately, between working and school, it's been limited. I had to prioritize and manage my time. But I decided that this is too important to me to just give up; I might not always have that luxury, there might be a time when money and jobs and school simply do not yield to extra-activities, but it's important to reserve time to do the things that you enjoy. Not only that, but I've met some amazing friends here that have changed my life, and that I'm closer to than anyone I've ever known in "real" life. Why leave that behind because it doesn't seem right to be on this site at my age?

It's good to hold onto 'childish' things, because being an adult is boring. If you love to RP, that is amazing and you should do it for as long as you get enjoyment out of it.

 

very inspirational/motivational. =] being an adult IS boring. And requires too much responsibility. Bleh... i've given up on being an adult for a while (except with work, I'm actually pretty important there). At least until my boyfriend and i have enough money to be adults again. And rp'ing on kh-vids is a suitable way to pass the time for now. ;~}

 

I don't think it's a problem realy, I faced somethings like that as I've allways had been in foruns : Saint Seiya, Naruto, Bleach . All these things are old but gold XD! They started over 10 years ago.. but most of the foruns that I stick with, was not for the thing that I was the most interressed with, but the foruns that I had better relationships with it's members.
Sure nowdays I don't play as much things like role playing in foruns and being part of familys and other things that I found to be a bit too teenager to me than it was, but the people that I used to talk grew up with me and I still like to talk with them.


The "problem" with Kingdom Hearts is that it is more of a childish game than an Teenager, so we should be tired of that by now.. and yet we are not! I guess there is something that we're missing :For me and most people that I know, childish things are better for "young adults" than Teenagers stuff! Why? Childsh things are things made of pure nostalgia and simpler and pure things, but Teenage things is about rebeling, finding who you are etc... so things that Teenagers see/do are made to "piss off" the previous generation(s). It's a important step (to rebell yourself) , but as you grow up you start think it' s silly,, unlike childsh things that you like because they're (or were) simply entrantaiment .

 

If you had asked me 5 years ago what age I planned on leaving KHV, I would say about 18, but I'm turning 18 in 6 months and there's no way I'm leaving! Honestly it had nothing to do with KH most of the time. People come for the game, but they stay for the community. If I had to have a set time to leave, I would say sometime around 20-23. That gives me at least another 3 years on this site. As long as I maintain connections with some of my good friends here, I can leave whenever I want though. I will pop in all the time just to see if Misty is still admin when I'm 25 lol but yeah to answer your question, you can never be too old for KHV!

 

You know, part of the reason I joined was the folks here. Part of the reason why I'm still here is because of the folks here. And I'm 24. You figure I'm nearly a quarter of a century old, yet I still hang out here when the Mouse isn't wearing me down. Why?

You guys. I can have a bad day, but then I come home, peruse the Spam Zone, have a laugh or two, and I feel better. And I (think I) made some awesome friends here. It'd be tough to leave, but if I ever did, of course I'd fin a way to keep in touch.

Also helps to remind myself that I may be 24 and on a KH forum, yet there's bound to be grown men older than me on a MLP: FiM forum.

 

Agreed. As C.S. Lewis put it:

"When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up."

As far as I'm concerned, nobody is ever too old to do childish things. It only becomes a problem when one's childishness becomes a hindrance to his or her ability to function as an adult.

 

I don't think you can be too old for KH-Vids (or any forum like it for that matter). Too busy perhaps, but not too old.

 

Ya know when your too old for KH vids. the day after you die. your never too old for kingdom hearts. my 85 year old uncle is playing kh right now and he will be 86 in 4 days and i got him kh 3d for his birthday lol

 

I'm never leaving KHV (intentionally). If I do leave, it's due to business. Never have I ever left because of lack of interest or anything.
