    Why I kept my age a secret —Kevin Blocksidge
   Hey everybody. (follow-up to the first post in .teen (URL) discovered Lugnet when I was about 13. It was the single coolest website I had ever seen. I wanted to join in as soon as possible, but while lurking, I realized certain things. Firstly, (...) (20 years ago, 24-Sep-04, to lugnet.people.teens) ! 
   
        Re: Why I kept my age a secret —Andrew Engstrom
     (...) Maybe part of it was that .space is simply BIG. Maybe part of it was that I've split energies between models and the Starship game. I don't know. But I just didn't feel the warm reception others seemed to get. Don't get me wrong--I'm not (...) (20 years ago, 24-Sep-04, to lugnet.people.teens, lugnet.space, lugnet.build, lugnet.castle)
    
         Re: Why I kept my age a secret —Daniel Rubin
     snip (...) I think this important to note. I think alot of us, or at least myself, get stuck in a "if you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all" mentality. I will keep this in mind and try and do more critiquing... says the guy (...) (20 years ago, 24-Sep-04, to lugnet.people.teens, lugnet.space, lugnet.build, lugnet.castle)
    
         Re: Why I kept my age a secret —Paul Baulch
     (...) Critiquing is tough. I've been giving ad-hoc critiques of almost everything for years and I still haven't got the hang of it... in fact, I often get the feeling that it has worked against my favour. I don't think I'd recommend it. Then again, (...) (20 years ago, 24-Sep-04, to lugnet.people.teens, lugnet.space, lugnet.build, lugnet.castle, FTX)
    
         Re: Why I kept my age a secret —Allister McLaren
     (...) I reckon you're pretty fair with your critiques, Paul. But you're right, they can be difficult, mainly because one is always unsure how they will be taken. Here's what I reckon: If you want your work critiqued, ask for it, even to the point of (...) (20 years ago, 24-Sep-04, to lugnet.people.teens, lugnet.space, lugnet.build, lugnet.castle, FTX)
    
         Re: Why I kept my age a secret —Tim David
     When critiquing I try to do a few things, most importantly provide encouragment, for some people its a big thing to present their new MOC to the world. I try to gauge the level of the builder (which isn't really an age thing) from the tone of their (...)

         Re: Why I kept my age a secret —Andrew Engstrom
     (...) It's encouraging to know that .space espouses the value of constructive criticism! For the record, I'd love critiques for all my future models. As long as it's constructive, I'm ready! ;-) Andrew (20 years ago, 25-Sep-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)
    
         Re: Why I kept my age a secret —Tim David
     (...) hey, I wasn't speaking for .space but generally! I didn't see where the FUT had been set!. However I do look into .space and other places quite a lot (although I mainly read .trains and .cad) so I'll keep an eye out. If a MOC is good its good (...)

        Re: Why I kept my age a secret —Frank Filz
     (...) Cool! I wish more teens realized they CAN participate in the adult world if they only try. Sure, it's cool to be a teen with your friends most of the time, but it's also cool to be an adult. I had a similarly empowering experience as a teen. I (...)

        Re: Why I kept my age a secret —John Henry Kruer
   (...) When I joined Lugnet, I was around 13 too. And now I'm 15. At first, I just joined as the little immature kid I was, posting a bad rendering into .trains and then posting crummy webcam pics into .castle (oddly enough, after a month I've never (...)
