Oldest/Youngest Team member
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?Or a group of gum-chewing computer geeks? Or something in between and far less stereo-typed?
Just kidding, but I am interested in your answers. Who’s the oldest? Who’s the youngest?

Re: Oldest/Youngest Team member
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 do NOT answer PM requests for help with EB. Ask in a new help thread in the tech help forum.

A few members gave their ages when the Tavern first opened.

Re: Oldest/Youngest Team member
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:

Re: Oldest/Youngest Team member
It's crazy to think that at least one member has spent 1/5th of his life as an EB member.

Just over a year ago, following the beta testing rite; following some rather well preserved public EB WIP thread on these fora...

Oh, wow. A balloon from the great Teleklos. Yay! I can't believe no one ever asked this before. Thanks.

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

Re: Oldest/Youngest Team member
Our oldest was actually in his early 50s. He retired from EB to focus on his real job ;)
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.

Re: Oldest/Youngest Team member
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.
