    Hmmm... I guess, no. This is too long for me so I'd really be worn out by then.

    The only way I'd still be breathing at fifty, is if I still looked like a teenager, an was in fine physical condition. So I very much doubt I'll be here. It would be hilarious if everyone was still here as old fogies. An whenever a young newbie arrived, you'd ban them. it would be the internet equivalent of when old people tell you to stay off their property. EOFF could then stand for eyes on final fogies. An people would keep making the same threads over an over, because their senile. General chat would be used to discuss such things as the weather, heated blankets, what brand of denture fluid is best, an what's your favourite type of boiled sweet. The lounge would probably just consist of topics about gameshows an murder mystery programmes. An for serious issues such as incontinence, you'd head over to EOEO. So years on, EOEO would still be full of <!--sh*t-->[leeza]*snip*[/leeza].

    Yes, of course I'll be here when I'm 50. If this place even still exists at that point. Maybe I'll be the lone resident.

    Well, that's a wonderful reminder to wake up to.

    By which I mean society hasn't crumbled, and I'm shipped off onto a desert island and have to kill all of my friends one by one...

    It's hilarious how nearly every post in this thread is about how pathetic it would be to be doing something you're enjoying in your youth many years from now. I find that many people say the same things about video games and pretty much everything else that is a good time in its infancy.

    Video games are still a new thing, we are all among the first generation of people who <B>will</B> be playing video games when we're fifty-plus. We're the generation of people who <B>will</B> be posting on video game-centric Internet forums when we're fifty-plus. Just because your parents or grandparents didn't grow up in a generation where these things were such a large part of their youth doesn't mean that it's going to be that way forever.

    If Eyes on Final Fantasy and Final Fantasy still exist in thirty years, I'll be happy to be posting here. If it has since died out, I'll be on another Final Fantasy forum when I'm not enjoying the games. If it is genuinely so pathetic to you all to be playing games or posting on a message board that focuses on them, just give it up now. What are you waiting for?

    If I'm anything like the vast majority of the fifty-plus people I encounter on a daily basis, <B>then</B> you can track me down and kill me.

    I highly doubt this site will last for 100 years, or even 50 years sadly. But I wouldn't mind staying for 5, or so years.

    necro brings up an interesting point. The longest that anyone has ever been on the internet is at most 20-30 years, depending on what you call 'internet'. How many of the people who first used Compuserv are still around?

    You could almost compare it to people who grew up watching television or movies. Do they still watch tv? Probably. Do they still go to movie theaters? Probably.

    I've questioned myself so many times on this subject-I hope I can be around this place as long as I can, really...
