I was just going back through my games and I somehow got 2nd in a duel even though I sucked at all the old comps.

It's probably best to split it into generations.

I would say Old School should be considered before 2013. I feel like a lot of stuff happened back then that most of these new users don't know about.

2014+ really isn't old school and

2016 + is when the site just turned into shit and all these new annoying users joined

but idk to each their own

Actually I agree. If you played the duel i'd consider you an old schooler.
Those were the days when I was so beast at comps and I would win so many of them < 3 now we have shitty count me and find me.

Well, if we split it right down the middle simply, it'd be 2008-2013 and 2013-2018 as the old school, new school. However, I don't believe that there's just "old school" and "new school" on tengaged.

For instance, I started playing a lot of games in '13 and really don't find myself to be old school, but I have been here awhile. I'm probably apart of the generation that succeeded "old school."

I'd say "old school" ends when emmaleigh lost her password, so somewhere around late 2012. That kinda is a landmark of the end of classic tengagers imo.

^ by saying that, I think that old school is those who had ample time to play between 2008-2011 or 2012, not just those who had just joined in 2012. Those would be people on the edge of one generation with another, falling into the category I find myself, 2012-2014.

I've played one round of the duel when it brought back way back when. I got 12th :D
Sent by semaj,Jan 6, 2018
completely agree about emmaleigh not logging on any more being the end of old school and only people who were around for maybe like 6 - 12 months before that occurrence being "old school"

I think Tengaged might be best split into tiers as far as that goes:

Tier 1 are those who joined before the end of 2009.  Oldest of the old as far as Tengaged goes.

Tier 2 would be from the beginning of 2010 to the Emmaleigh not logging in anymore like KrisStory brought up.

From that point to around when game 120000 happened would be Tier 3 (that would give a timespan of roughly 2 years).

Game 120000 to when Mods disappeared would be Tier 4.

Tier 5 would then go from the end of the mods to randomize returning in April of last year.

And so today's generation would be Tier 6.

Idt you can just split it into old school vs new school anymore. Too many years have passed, I’d say there’s like 4 generations

'Old school' is what i'd consider to be 2009-2012
I joined late 2011 and consider my generation of 2012-2014 as the ones who came early enough to see tg at its prime. It's also the last legit generation of tg I consider where moderation existed. New users have been lost among multis since.
Sent by Anas,Jan 6, 2018
yeah I'd agree. so I think that means 2012?
Sent by brosky17,Jan 6, 2018
idk i joined in 2011 and i don't consider myself oldschool, ive always thought 2010 and before was oldschool to me... i guess it all depends when you joined the site really

I played the duel and don't feel that old school. I'd think like 2010 and earlier.
