I made this in the front-room too, but apparently that poll was in the wrong place. So here we go again, if it's not topic-worthy, just lock it, thx.

Oh, crap, nvm. I, for some reason, thought Rhyfelwyr meant he barely still fit. I barely just fit. I am 15.

51-(I am assuming blank space means infinity) seems like a big section compared to the others....

Yeah, the final two categories should just be titled "grizzled" and "infirm." That would cover us geezers quite well.

Second group for me, though depressingly only a few months from the third.

If this was public I wouldnt vote. I gave up giving my real age when I got told on another forum a few years ago "Your 14? You cant possibly have a opinion on this subject". Since then its been 18 :2thumbsup:

I just turned 50 last month. I thought I would be in the smallest group, but alas it turns out to be the second smallest, and almost tied with the 51+ group! We do help put the art in fart.:beam:

I'm going to be 21 fairly soon, and probably fit in that category better than the 15-20 crowd here. I'm also a bit surprised to see so many people fifteen and under weighing in in the backroom. I can't say how I'd change my opinion of what they say based on that, but it all depends on the individual I guess.

I'v managed to go down a catagory since the last 'age' poll, not sure if i'm happy or sad about that.

I'm in that third age category... the time when you realize that age really has nothing to do with much of anything onwards.

PowerWizard

I didn't make it a public vote, because I'm interested in the avg. age of Backroomers, not who are the old farts and the teenagers...

More like the 15th anniversary of my 30th birthday. But what the hell, it sure beats the alternative...

Does it make you feel better that I am a pessimistic, sceptical, cynical, Machiavellian 15 year old?? Yet I am always optimistic about myself, not out of arrogance or naivety, but simply out of necessity, as living pessimistically is difficult unless you are like me, who is only pessimistic about everything else, such as the world and people around themselves.

I voted 51-. If you want to know what my real age is, look at my profile and add 7 years. I can't put my actual age up because the org must be not want people beyond a certain age.

You are 106?

KukriKhan

06-08-2009, 21:13

So, with 80 votes, 55% of backroom responders report being between 15-25.

That's an interesting shift from 5 years ago, when the average reported age here was 26-27. A much higher student population, it seems.

Hey Dave great to see you again. :o)
