Or if age is too intrusive maybe a "fan since *insert year here* "


Would help to know how old the person we are talking to is. I see so many people talking and they will argue to the death, but then later you come to find out they have been following basketball since 2011.... Would be easier if I knew said person was 16 years old then I could just ignore that person to begin with.

agreed. Good idea.

yeah I think so too. If not age, then at least "fan since so and so year" Something to give us an idea who we are talking to.

I don't know how many sites I've been on where I realized I was talking to someone who I later learned was writing his high school English paper while arguing (one example of many) that Lavar Arrington belonged in the Top 4 all time great Washington Redskins football players because he knew him from playing Madden.

BTW - 61. I'm old.

As a longtime Mavs fan who remembers some epic battles between Dallas and Seattle over the years... love the signature.

Ha, yeah people will probably just lie about their age.

There should be a sports trivia 'what's your real age' questionnaire...

It would be better to just say "Fan since".

We might add this option in the future as we do not want Coppa Users revealing their age.

They could design it to where the Code would only display the field for non-COPPA users.

Mags,

Great idea.

Better make sure that counter goes back to the '60's. Just sayin'...

It likely will.

Still think this would be cool to have.

I don't believe revealing the age has many positives. It probably has more negatives than anything as the chances will be higher that someone will make fun of another party due to their age. Also, anybody can enter X age when they're really X age.

We will see what happens in the future.
