Average age of anandtech forum members...

[Imp]

IIRC, old thread from a year or two ago said most of us were late-20s to mid-40s... Physically.

 

[chipwitch]

I guess I'll stick around a bit...

 

[n7]

Lotta old folks like me, who are into their 30s and beyond.

 

[IronWing]

Young enough to see the light, old enough to shoot it out.

 

[waggy]

I'm 42. so yeah in that range. I know we have some old farts. I won't call them out..but they know who they are!

29 going on 20.... seriously I can't believe I'll be 30 this year, I just don't feel that old.

HAHA 30!

to tell the truth i forget at times im 42. Granted I feel 80 but mentally i still think of myself as i was in my late 20's.

My kids say i act like I'm 9 but meh..what do they know?

I'll be 29 on the 24th this month. FML! D:

Meh. Just a number. I'm 38 and in *WAAAAAY* better shape, look and feel better than I ever was at 25.

I'm not sure, but having BoomerD and Olds around sure skew the average quite a bit.

I didn't want to call them out..but if we take them out then the avarage age drops a LOT. since both have to be at least 80-110 or so.

i'm not sure. I just know they are old. very old. and cranky.

[Scarpozzi]

That's why I like ATOT...we're all in a similar age range with only a few at either end of the bell curve. I'll turn 36 this year.

 

[BurnItDwn]

Is that your average age for the day?

Yes, assuming we round down.

 

[MagnusTheBrewer]

There was a common saying when I was a kid, "Lordy, Lordy, feelin' forty." I was just reflecting that I wished I felt like I did when I was forty. Oh yeah, get off my lawn!

 

[MongGrel]

Every one below 50 should be nuked from orbit.

Get off my lawn

What is this 'college' you speak of?

It's french, and spelled collage: it's where you spend 7 years after high school if you don't want to get a job.

Nine, actually.

I hope this forum keeps going for a long time, the conversation here is significantly more entertaining than the garbage on Reddit. 23 here btw, and I often feel like I joined the party late.

I just did a pizza dinner fundraiser last night - cooked and served 70 16" pizzas to a couple hundred people. To be successful, I had to train 15 year old kids how to make pizza. One of them realized I had worked (and still occasionally do) at one of their favorite pizza places about 15 miles from here. (Rural area; so it's a common place to go to.) One of the kids asked me how long I've worked there - I suddenly felt old when I realized I had been working there more than twice as long as some of the kids had been alive.

Did you show him your pepperoni-stained doctorate certificate in Pizza Theory?

Yeah, the bar for excellence keeps getting lower on the net. You only have to read the comments section of just about any youtube vid to appreciate the core of our community.

 

[Perknose]

There was a thread not that long ago in OT with a poll where people reported which age group they were in.

Yee-ha, Cappuccino found it! We old. D:

[Ferzerp]

Yeah, but like the silly youngster he is, the guy made a poll where the age ranges were open ended. I mean, if you're 60, you can pick anything but under 18 and not be lying (other than the joke options). Then what if you're 19?

 

[shortylickens]

I'm pretty sure with Perk we got a MAJOR outlier pulling up the average.

Last one I saw was from 2012.

Funny that I just went from the highest percentile to one less than half that size. I wonder how many have done similar?

I agree that this thread needs a poll also, just to see how/if things are shifting a little over three years later.

 

[Gryz]

The average age here is over 40 for sure.

Why ?
It's simple.

People in their forties post on forums.

People in their thirties don't. They think it's old-fashioned. They only do "modern social media". That's Facebook and Twitter. They think this makes them hip.

People in their twenties don't even bother with Facebook and Twitter. They think it's too much typing and far too much reading. They use Whatsapp to stay in touch with friends.

Teens can't even be bothered to type in Whatsapp. They use the Internet in a passive way only. All they do it watch YouTube and cat pictures.
