One thing I've noticed about ENWorld is that its the most verbose of all the messageboards or websites I frequent. (includes Comic Book Resources, Huffiington Post, Circus Maximus, RealClearPolitics .... etc....aside from my point). Possibly due to this verbosity (or whatever you want to call it), I really think this board is hard on the perceived 'kids of today.' I don't care if they play World of Warcraft or Everquest before it! Kids are kids, and by kids I mean teenage boys. They all seem stupid and scatterbrained to adults. They don't always communicate in the open or where its obvious to adults. Also, there will still be kids who want to read. Someone dissed Harry Potter novels -- and I actually dislike the books and the movies -- but its still the obvious example that kids read big books still.PREDICTION: Just wait til the HOBBIT (two parts) finally comes out. We'll see a big spike in kids reading that book again, and follow on to that the Lord of the Rings. Its only been 7-8 years since RotK came out and the trilogy ended (though it feels like a lifetime ago).I am rambling big time, but to quote Mark Twain: “History doesn't repeat itself - at best it sometimes rhymes”Our hobby is the latter. Lets accept it and enjoy the cacophony.</blockquote>
