You know you are getting old when:

"Forums" as social media became brontosaur form. On all forums user claimed that more and more people moved to the FB, X, Insta, even Facebook became media for "Old people". Forums became more closely specialised communities, but this make Forums to expensive for forums owners keep support for small amounts of people. We will see how this will be changing in future, gen Z don't care about Fedora time like a Napoleon war.

So don’t all other Boomers i know around and even the very mass of their/my parents generation, born during war or soon after.

If you close an off-topic area in a community, you can close the community itself. The time of "pre-DSL era forums" is over since fifteen years at least.
Even big european/german magazines closed down their own online communites, althought these were still vital. Others even never established such, while launching online newspaper abos.

When the smartphone bubble came up 2011/12, this was killing pre-smartphone times, at least in Europe.

You know your getting old when: I'm to old for this.
Edit: It is ironic talking to (some)old Men about old times on (to) a computer.

When you're rewatching an episode #87 of a german Zoo-docu show from January 2005, you surely watched back in January 2005...

Hm, pre-Youtube times...

Sorry, I'm not 100% certain what you seem to be asking here, or even if you're asking a question. I think you're trying to determine exactly when someone had to be born to be a member of the Baby Boomer generation; if I'm right, the answer according to the "experts" is 1946-1964. And, just in case anyone's curious, the title of "Baby Boomer" was derived from the mid-20th century baby boom that followed the end of World War II.

Hmmm, didn’t ask something, just replied to the statement right above, without ecplicitly quoting it, just like now with your‘s.
That‘s just the way i‘m used to from European/German forums. Sorry for having expressed myself misleading, i vow improvement.

…you wake up with the back pain of your life, just drop in a painkiller and though show up at work, resulting in awful pain from head to toe the next morning.

You show up at the doc for a sick note, leave some blood and an EKG, lay flat on your back, hoping the coming harbor boat tour will not develop to maximum and bathe your brain in metamizol.
