What's your age to you BlazerTalkers? Some random thread to know what is the demographics of this forum

Young and old are welcome

Can we do a weight poll next? LOL

Old folks are more tech savvy than they claim apparently.

I wouldn't claim operating a CSN forum = tech savvy.

The 30s are in the lead

I'm surprised about that

I just snuck into the 30-39 group. Joined the board at the ripe young age of 22

I was in my 30s just 5 months ago.

It's the opposite. The "old folks" are the ones who grew up with things like message boards and forums, the young kids don't come to websites like this. It's TikTok, YouTube, Twitter, Instagram, etc

Just turned 31.

50-and-over is one category? Some of us are old enough that we think 50-year-olds are immature kids. I guess you think once you reach 50 you're pretty close to death so it doesn't really matter how old you are.

Get off of my lawn!

i knew it was an older board but dang, this some Wilfred Brimley territory

He was probably only 50 in that ad. He made a career out of looking much older than he actually was. Great actor, though.

Wilford was 50 when he filmed Cocoon

The poll is missing a few more categories - 50 to 59, 60 to 69, and 70 to 79.

I'm with you. Maybe we should have gone with:

0-49
50-59
60-69
70-79
80-89
90-over

Dang. I joined when I was 18 back in 2015. Did this make me the youngest ever?

I joined in 2009 so I was 14 at the time

63 votes and only 21 are under 40

Start over?

I asked my 12-year-old grandson to help me with a post a couple weeks ago. He handed my iPhone back to me and said, “This site is like something from the 1990s.”
