ok so i noticed predator is 12. this is mildly amazing to me. i was forced outside at age 12. but then again dad had a mac plus with snake being by far the coolest game. it was the era of the first nintendo and zelda was a pimp. although i was not cool enoungh to own one. actually i think there was other game systems out too but again the lack of coolness.

i have lost the topic here.

point is this posting is to ask ages and length of time served in the world of dink.

i shall go first.

i am 24 and have played dink for i guess about 7 years all told. on and off but first started about then. anyone else?

Hah, we needed another one of these.

I'm 21, and I've been here since September 2002, though I've been playing Dink for at least two years before that.

I'm 23. Been here for a year and half almost, I think. Played Dink and lurked a bit for a couple of months before that though. I believe it was around the time I, Kara Gu was released that I started.

I'm 23 and started ruining the Dink Network around 2001. Since then, I've released numerous files of dubious quality, and occasional one that's actually worth downloading.

I'm 22 and I've been here since 2001. I bought Dink (have the CD version!) I think somewhere in 1999.

I'm 20, and I've been playing Dink from about 2001/2002 or something. Still can remember the release of Pilgrim's quest actually. (Downloading it on dail-up... )

I first joined the forum around may 2005 and have been around here ever since...

I'm a month shy of 33 and have been playing Dink since late 2000 or early 2001... didn't exactly record the date Either way it was freeware by then and only found it because PC Gamer magazine had an article listing it as one of the best free games available.

Okay...

I'm 13, yay! And I first played Dink a long time ago in like, 2001 or 2002 or something. Then my Dad said it was unsuitable for someone my age (6/7), so, I had to uninstall it from my PC. Then, I found it again after all those years, sometime in 2006. Then I joined the Dink Network and have brought light and wondrous glory upon it ever since.

I'm 22, and I haven't really played the game or any dmods for several years. I've been on here since late 1999, though, and I first played the game (or well, the demo) in 1997.

Real lurkers don't appear on the lurkers list. 
I'm 13, had first played the game from some old pc magazine in '01, forgot it, and found out about TDN a couple of months (like Sparrowhawk) before I marked the death of The Dink Network at the dreaded date of somewhere in May 2007.

It looked good on paper... 
New to Dink, only a month or so. (Must have spent too much time with UO)

Age withheld, but my first console was Atari 2600, first release, before even Intellivision existed (I believe 'Combat' was the included game.) Shortly thereafter I got a Texas Instruments TI99/4A for Xmas or my birthday, I forget. Followed by a Commodore 64, Nintendo with Zelda & Super Mario (I once videotaped an entire game from start to finish; wonder if I still have that), and then my first PC; a 486DX. Lol. Ages long ago.

Well, predator isn't that unusually aged at 12. I'm 12 and have been torturing all the poor users of The DN for a couple of years now (I think), but have been playing Dink since I was 4/5 years old!
