    Just to have a little fun and a little something to get us out of the negative spiral of posts regarding veterans leaving and cheating accusations (though the one bright spot out of all that are Twysta's memes), I thought that it'd be interesting to get a sense for how old us collective forum goers are. My sense is that we skew older, with many of us married and with kids.

    Whatever the age, I really appreciate the community, even though we are in a bit of a rough patch. Twysta please find a meme that can capture this warm and fuzzy moment. icon_lol.gif

    Thanks The Finn for this poll!
    So I belong to the most populated category (37y old)

    I was wondering if I was too old to play MPQ...
    ...Now I know that we are too old!! icon_mrgreen.gif

    Haha great pic!

    This year as I was filling out some forms that asked for my age, I actually had to count back from my birthdate to validate just how old I really was. I had one of those 'No, wait, I'm not really that old already am I?' moments. How am I suddenly 35? Wasn't I just 32 last year? /proceeded to count it out... Well I'll be tinykittied it's true!
  • I'm a bit perplex...is there actually 75+ people here ?
    Not that I have a problem with old people...but I'm pretty sure some click on this button just to have the "complain" part icon_lol.gif

    And wise persons are always needed, we actually got too much unwised one icon_e_biggrin.gif

    I'm one of the very few 'under 25', I feel young again!
    Don't know why but the "majority" here (31-40), is, I bet, the "minority" in the game.
    Probably the trendy is more 15-25.

    Well... I had to select the 31-40 age as, I am right now. But in August, then I'll be part of the next group as I'll be 41. Makes me feel old being around all you youngin's! Lol
    No daveomite. You're not old, you've got experience ! Totally different.
    I've got 1 teamate who's in his 40th and a couple of 50-60th also...and probably others who hide their age.

    You're not the only one...don't worry.

    We also need a mental age poll. Judging from the recent forum drama, that should average somewhere between 5 and 16 years old. icon_mrgreen.gif

    icon_lol.gif so true!

    However, it's already all done at my house icon_cool.gif so....same here, I guess?

    Also,

    1) forum demographic doesn't always match the overall demographic,

    plus

    B) this is a user submitted poll...those always skew poorly simply due to giving ppl the option to not even answer it....

    and

    ???) There is no third choice here, but Rule of Three, so...Profit???

    Wah...? Data on the internet not fully factual and accurate? Inconceivable! If we can't trust the interwebs, WHO CAN WE TRUST?? icon_e_wink.gif

    Yeah, my husband and I are the old farts in our alliance. We have grown children playing MPQ.

    Ah ha! I hadn't thought of that, lol. I'm just experienced, I'll have to remember that while I sit pouting on my birthday, haha.
