How young are the members in this forum
« on: October 22, 2008, 01:29:30 PM »
Hiya folks, I've been trying to to calculate the average age of the members here by reading an ongoing thread but got more confused as more people posted in. I think it would be interesting to see which age group are more active in this madness of ours. I reckon the 50+ ers rule!
If a similar poll has already been run in the past, I do apologise.

Cheers, and..............be honest folks ;D ;D

Good poll! I don't do too many of these but just did this one. Problems arose when I had to figure out the age I feel physically then my age emotionally and average them.


It actually works out close to my real age.

I see a problem with the voters in the 20 to 30 range..if they're 30, they don't want to put their vote in the 30 to 40 range.
I'm 54 so I don't have to worry about which slot to place my vote (yet) ;D

So I just answered "honestly" since it's like anonymous and stuff, although I had to think about it for a second, as I am so used to. . .well, let's say "modify", my actual age (and yeah, I lied "modified" my age in my profile) . . .. he he he. . .  .. hey, I still get militantly carded for alcohol, so I must be doing SOMETHING right, eh?   ;)

Sometimes it's not the age so much as the miles.
I seriously didn't think I'd make it past 25, so every day above ground is a pleasant surprise! Although, to be honest, I am having a little trouble with this '40' nonsense!  ::)
