Kickaha Addicted Boomer Registered: 03/27/01 Posts: 2402 Loc: Cambridge, England	Games Domain has got absorbed into Yahoo. Sigh a lot of links I had are now history. Yahoo seems full of yahoos - they state that computer games are youth's unofficial pastime and think no-one over 35 will have heard of them.

Sassafras Addicted Boomer Registered: 07/15/02 Posts: 1015 Loc: Ormond By The Sea ,Florida	What if we STARTED playing before 35? Are we allowed to keep playing or do we have to stop?

lkgregorio Settled Boomer Registered: 04/18/01 Posts: 626 Loc: Cape Cod, Massachusetts	I sure am glad they didn't mention seniors, or I would have been in trouble, whew! I guess it's just you 35 year old's, who should worry. LOU _________________________ "I don't want to belong to any club that will accept me as a member." Groucho Marx

mbc841 Settled Boomer Registered: 03/29/01 Posts: 368 Loc: Alexandria, VA USA	Hey Tigger, you and I were on the same wave length - I hopped over there and read it, and immediately sent them a not-so-happy message. With many exceptions of course, I think almost all of the Adventure Game community exceeds their age limit. _________________________ Developer of The Arrangement and HARVEST

Liz Addicted Boomer Registered: 10/13/00 Posts: 2446 Loc: the desert foothills	Guess it just shows you how little they know.......and how ignorant they are. That's obviously a statement made by an uninformed person!!! Someone should link them over here! _________________________ Beeba

popcorneater Adept Boomer Registered: 08/30/02 Posts: 11557 Loc: Virginia	How rude is that I ask.. So yahoo thinks they know it all? I'm going to let them have a piece of my mind-what's left is right now hopping mad and I won't miss this feeble mind after all I'm 55 and no not what I'm doing.

oldman Addicted Boomer Registered: 04/15/00 Posts: 3297 Loc: Lost in the Arizona Desert	I also sent them a letter. I started playing PC Games well over 35 and have spent more years in computer gaming then most of them have out of diapers. _________________________ You laugh because I'm different I laugh because you're all the same Funny I don't remember being absent minded.
