Can six year olds read and type well enough to be posting?

Well, I take that back. Some of the posts I've read look like it was written by a 6 year old.

29+. So that's how a 21 year old views people 29 and over...and they say 30 is the new 20.

Hahaha! Yeah, All us "old timers" are in the 29+ range.

Im a 29+. I guess I'm old. Now excuse me, I gotta go chase some kids off my lawn.
 
Just wanted to know the age group we have here, I'm 21.

I made it private just incase you don't want to link your age to your username.

EDIT : 29+ should be 30+ , I would appreciate if a mod can modify this.

What, life ends at 30? Should have more age bands. I think you might be surprised at the number of baby boomers here.
 
This is an awful set of options to choose from. Please don't ever go into statistics. COPPA laws prohibit anybody from even using the forums under a certain age.

I understand that most people here act like they're 6, but sadly the demographics are much, much older.
 
Just FYI, I thought that anyone 30+ is mature enough not to be posting childish posts, which seems to be the majority of posts in this forum. I made this poll to check what we're dealing here, and if it's worth discussing/arguing when an outrageous claim is stated. I'm actually surprised the poll is dominated by people over 30, from assessing the quality of most posts in this forum I expected teenagers.

The older you get, the more you will realize that greater age doesn't necessarily correlate with not being an *******.
 
Do not tell anyone but I lied and voted in the youngest range bracket. I am really over 29, lets say I am 29+:p


Well, people do celebrate anniversaries of their 29th birthday rather than aging. Maybe that is the point at which life is over and no longer worth living.
 
I've already replied about this in the first page. The quality of the posts in this forum made me think I should focus on younger age groups. I'm very surprised that the 30+ age group dominates the poll. If I've known that I would have segregated it into more choices.

I'm baffled by the poll results, either the older age group do not post and the younger ones aren't voting, or some of the older age group are posting in this forum like 6-12 year olds to troll.

A) it is a poll and people can pick what they want.
B) you technically aren't supposed to be able to register for this site if you're under 13.
C) actual age does not mean the mental age of some isn't much younger.
 
Speaking for myself, I came of age on AOL with my trusty 2400 baud modem. Learning from the older members (like AFC Joe from Hawaii) who patiently shared their knowledge. Maybe these new communities are to large or our new fangled modems are just to fast to inspire learning.

I remember when I got a 14.4. It was like lightning!
 
Yeah, that's a weird set of age choices. A lot of fine tuned granularity and then just the gigantic blob of 29+.
 
Limited perspective if you bucket everyone into 29+

Would lead me to believe the OP is early 20's and everyone over =>30 is OLD.

Baffles me that everyone is raging over 29+ option yet basic comprehension is no where to be found. I won't keep repeating myself and read through this thread for the answer I have mentioned 1 gazillion times.

You think everyone acts like an adolescent and 29 should be the age where people become mature, so act your age. Is that the point of this poll?

I think the point of this thread is that the OP is rather naïve.

  • Alabama,
  • Georgia,
  • Florida
  • Rest of the world
:D That's what I was thinking.
The poll caps at 29+. Is this meant as a 'subtle' insult?

I'm sure even the worst offenders would be pretty darn mature if you met them in person.
I am old and i am way worse in real life. :p
I have no motivation to be mature or well behaved. What's the point?

It baffles me that people think Age = Maturity. Being old (29+) doesn't automatically make someone mature. Just like being young doesn't make someone immature.

A better poll would have been something like:

State your maturity level:
1- Very mature
2- Awesome
3- The awesomest
4- I just farted in my cubicle

I think you'll get a better perspective of the posters here.
