Curiosity question for the EB team: What’s the range of your ages? When picturing the EB team, are we to think of a bunch of gray-haired, bespectacled college professors?:clown: Or a group of gum-chewing computer geeks? Or something in between and far less stereo-typed? :laugh4:
Just kidding, but I am interested in your answers. Who’s the oldest? Who’s the youngest?
Though I'm not actually a Team Member, I can easily say that I am one of the youngest people to have worked on/with EB: 15.
I'm a gum-eschewing computer geek.

My best guess is that we have had a 14 year old at some point in the past but right now it's probably 16 years (as the youngest). Our oldest is probably going to be late 30's, but I'm not sure. We had a big group of early thirtysomethings and late twentysomethings, but now I'm not so sure of the distribution (we have had a lot of new members come on board for EB2 work in the last two months). Only a few are teens, most are probably in 20's and 30's, and if anyone is in 40's they don't mention it often. Probably a good bell curve with an average of 27 or so if I had to guess.
Here's a balloon for you for asking an interesting question that I don't recall being asked here before: :balloon2: .
Oldest is at least 34.
When I joined I was 17.
Oh, wow. A balloon from the great Teleklos. Yay! I can't believe no one ever asked this before. Thanks.
And how long ago did you join? :clown:Quote:

Just over a year ago, following the beta testing rite; following some rather well preserved public EB WIP thread on these fora... :yes:
Not that much of it is now part of the 'state of the art' (:grin:) but hey, if you are a bit clever you can find out. :beam:
Wasn't Edyzmedieval one of the younger chaps? Not sure how old he was when he joined. I was one of the younger members to. I was just 16 when I joined. And that was almost 3 years ago.
Or? I am bespectacled, was once a (temporary) assistant professor, and now make a living as a computer geek.Quote:

In 1st of June I'm turning 25, so there you have it, not precisely geriatric, and still very much into booze, broads and bacon.
I'm 16 and joined a little more then 5 months ago. To be honest, although I never inquired, I assumed most of the other members where in there 20's and I was one of the few people in their teens.
Well, as of today I'm 30!
19 for me
I'm not a team member, but I'm younger than the Earth and older than my cat.
Very specific :laugh4:Quote:

I was deliberately using stereotypes. I figured anyone bright enough to help create the EB masterpiece would be a better-rounded human being. :book:Quote:

Youngest, I would probably guess 16. I don't think I've worked with all that many young members though. I would guess our median age is 26.
33 here...almost 34 though...
I watched the first Star Wars film at a drive-in movie theater.
EDIT: Oh yeah, and I am currently younger than this post number in years.
I saw your "Star Wars" and raise you a "Jaws".Quote:

@ Atilius: what part of the upper mid west? (keeping my fingers crossed)
Twin Cities area
Whilst not a team member I am now feeling a wizened member of the forum at 48. Still three daughters at 24, 22, 17 etc. gives one a little experiance in life!

I know what you mean. Will never forget my trip to the Civil War battlefield of Gettysburg at age 7. The tour tape politely instructed my parents to tell any "children" in the car that the Northerners were the Union, and the Southerners were Confederates. I laughed for about five minutes before going on explaining to my parents why Pickett's Charge is a terrible misnomer since he only commanded one of the divisions in the assault. :laugh4:Quote:
