/vr/ would be better if we moved the Doom threads to /vg/ and made it a rule that you're not allowed to mention your age (so as to prevent age wars which have been endemic on here)

Rule of thumb is that younger posters make for shittier boards. It's not always like that, but that's how it mostly is. Boards like /v/ and /b/ have the youngest posters on average, so you have to understand where the hostility is coming from.

oh look, it's the elitism everyone was so worried about when the board was made
gotta agree on the filters though, those things are disgusting.

It doesn't. If you love older games and aren't a fucktard, you're perfectly welcome.

The most basic rule of all the boards is: if you don't know what you're talking about, shut up and lurk/learn your shit and contribute. That's it. This thread is fucking garbage.

Notice when they say "classic 90's FPSes" they never mean the ones on N64? They always mean "Ma quake with ma 180fps framerate."

Did you ever peruse old Usenet posts? There were 40-50 yos who were horrible trolls, so don't try and claim only 15 yos can do that.

Wrong. You can delete the shitposting but as long as the same people post on a board, it will never change.

If you say you're under 25 or so on /vr/, people will get mad at you because they think age affects how much you can enjoy old vidya.

The ensuing butthurt derails threads.

I'm 20 and grew up on a Sega Mega Drive and Monkey Island 1&2.

I'm 21. I don't think most of the 20-24 yos care much about it, but for some reason 15 yos and 30 yos always clash.
