Demographics: Age (Mid 2014 edition)

[strawman]

True terror is to wake up one morning and
discover that your high school class
is running the country.
Kurt Vonnegut​

 

[Dei]

Sooooo... I'm swapping demographics in 3 weeks, trying to decide if I should go with older or younger.

 

[DarkAudit]

Two more years and I'll be in the running the country group. That asteroid can't get here fast enough.

 

[HCGLNS]

I am 0.875 Dave.

 

[Celt Z]

As of today, I enter a new demographic. (According to this breakdown.)

 

[Espy]

Yo. We gittin OLD up in here.

 

[PatrThom]

Yo. We gittin OLD up in here.

Yeah. Some of our folks are turning (gasp!) thirty...

--Patrick

 

[GasBandit]

These are not valid demographic brackets.

 

[Terrik]

Youth is over.

 

[blotsfan]

I'm betting I'm still the youngest person here even though I'm sharing a demographic now.

 

[bhamv3]

I, for one, with all sincerity and no sarcasm whatsoever, feel honored and delighted to be growing old with you guys.

 

[Cajungal]

Holy shit I've been coming here for 7 years.

 

[fade]

bell curvalicious.

 

[Emrys]

Hope I die before I get old.

Meh, too late.

 

[Bowielee]

Getting old is waking up and realizing that the pain in your knee from when had a minor fall has been going on for over 3 months.

 

[ThatNickGuy]

Holy shit I've been coming here for 7 years.

 

[Emrys]

Let's face it, the young lady has stamina.

 

[GasBandit]

Man. This place used to be hip and trendy. Now we're... dadfogey central. Why don't we all go buy some Khaki shorts with pockets on the legs and some New Balance tennis shoes and red knit lacoste shirts and let our eyebrows grow 3 centimeters out from the surface of our skin and tell only jokes based on puns and lexical ambiguity and laugh at those jokes with vocalizations on the inhalation of the laugh rather than the exhalation.

 

[PatrThom]

FWIW median age appears to be 38-39 according to the stats gathered so far.

--Patrick

 

[Dave]

Ooh! Ooh! Guess which one is me!

 

[ThatNickGuy]

Ooh! Ooh! Guess which one is me!

But...no one voted 69 and over?

 

[Espy]

Holy shit I've been coming here for 7 years.

Right? I'm trying to remember when I joined the PVP forum… 2004? 2005? I can't even remember it's been so long!

 

[Bowielee]

Well, I offically started posting on the PVP boards just as early info was starting to leak out about the Transformers movie, so probably 2006 or so. 8 years or so for me.

That about jives for me, because it was about a year after I was REALLY heavily involved in the WoW boards.

 

[GasBandit]

15 years here. Sheesh.

Edit make that 14 . But still.

 

[blotsfan]

9 for me. I was 13 when I started posting. Thank God the image boards are gone.

 

[Tinwhistler]

I haven't been a super-long poster here. I think I signed up just a month or two before the board was Kurtzed.

But I've been posting on a particular tinwhistle board since 1992. Let me tell you, you don't stop hating the people you hate, even 20 years later.

 

[LittleKagsin]

I've been here four years.

*noob poster status*

 

[Jay]

I've been here four years.

*noob poster status*

Has it been 4 years already?

That makes you legal for this...

I don't know about that. My position on GasBandit has softened quite a bit. Then again, I don't know if that's me being more open minded, him being less of an outright jerk, or a combination of the two.

 

[grub]

I lurked on image for a long time, then I lurked on Straub's, and now I lurk here. I've changed a lot since then and there is a whole slew of "new" old-time posters. Or maybe just new names for old posters.

I think Gas has softened quite a bit. CDS I'm not so sure has. Both softening and not are good I believe.

I guess you're right. I really didn't care for Shego when we first interacted, and I'd be happy to have drinks with her now if we ever were in the same town.

But man, this one guy on that forum..such a PITA

 

[GasBandit]

Yes, I'd agree I'm very much not the same person I was 14 years ago.

 

[blotsfan]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure baked beans go bad after that long, even if they're in a can.

 

[PatrThom]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure baked beans go bad after that long, even if they're in a can.

They did turn black.

[Bubble181]

Ooh! Ooh! Guess which one is me!

I've explained before....We're talking about Earth years, not Pluto years. Tsk.
