Re: RacketBOY as a "Culture"

I don't post much here but whenever I visit the forums I've almost always found the discussions to be informative and quite friendly.
But I wonder if as the membership number grows that perhaps things might not always be this civil? But then again I would think that this type of topic has been raised before and I guess it's a type of 'concern' that every forum faces from time to time.

I hope it lasts. Sites start small, get smart people interested, which gets a good reputation which draws the rest of the internet. Seen it happen before.

I worry about this. I get worried everytime Racket's mentioned in a magazine or on another big site. I know that's silly, but I'm pretty territorial about this place.

The advantage we have is that the vast majority of gamers right now, dont care about older games. So even if we are the headlining article on something like Game Informer, we will only have a temporary boom of people, then they will leave since we arent talking about how great we are at x game - or are we its been a while since Ive been here.

I'm not an expert on this, but I think 18 is the age for anything like that across state lines, but each state is allowed to set its own age of consent for things that go on strictly inside that state. In Texas, it's 17.
