This thread is about looking back, not forward
Take at look at these and have some chuckles at old members applications and Outsiders responses.

Because, with age comes experience. Really think about that. On this site though, I doubt the age matters. I mean, the work they do isn't physically demanding, so anybody, young or old, can do it. The way I see it, age is a number which increases, and as it increases, it brings a load of responsibilities which outweigh the perks of getting older. In the end, it's merely a number, but there is much more to it than that. We all have a inflated ego when we're young, say 13-15 or maybe even 16. So, in term, kids like to think they know everything, and they try to use the excuse that age is just a number, and that it doesn't define the way one acts. Which is bullshit, because age really does define how one acts, sadly--most times, it's for the worse. Anyways, back to your question at hand, about people underestimating young kids... that's inevitable. Like I said, when we're younger, we feel egotistic and cocky. For example, like when you first started driving, I bet you felt like you were the shit, but as time goes on, and you age, the feeling dies and it just turns into another responsibility.

Remember that most of the applications that are listed in the spoilers were rejected the first time because of age.

Must be of age 15 or higher. (Yes you must be above 15, and that's a very low minimum. Any below, I'm sorry but you just won't make the cut unfortunately. Sorry for something you can not control.)
Must post useful information such as new information, new releases, and large thread discussions. (Examples: Reviews, updates, etc)
Must type in good grammar (This is huge, if you don't type with good grammar, you have 0% chance.)
Must be a donator (Pretty Simple)
Must be on the site for over 2 months. (Pretty Simple)
Digg Topics! (Digg topics, and you'll have a much better chance.)
These are just the minimums, so here you go.
Gobble - Do not PM us asking for staff, I actually find this quite annoying and it will lessen you chances.
