Gamer Age - What year were you born?

[Pale]

It is interesting that it's starting to bulge in the early to mid-30s range, though. That's when most of us were in high school and hearing all of the anti-D&D hype from the religious right.

Coincidence?!? YOU DECIDE!

Us '72ers are catchin' up on you youngins!

*pokes Klaus with his walker*

Hah! Gotcha ya whippersnapper!

You will never beat '74! Go ahead and try!

Most of us start to bulge in the early to mid-30s range.

It depends on the bulge...

>ouch!<

What the hell, Eric's Granma?!

I have voted on this poll so many times...

But I am actually surprised at the number of 20somethings...maybe 4ed does skew young.

C'mon 1976! We can catch up 1974!

What's with the dip in 1978-79?

 

[Desdichado]

Yes. With the "you" being a group of people with some interest in 4E.

Not a group of people with some interest in basket weaving.

By definition, if a person comes to this web site and checks it out, they have some interest. They may not buy the product, or the interest may only be fleeting for a few seconds, but they have enough interest to come here in the first place.

Yeah, but that's a lousy definition of "some interest." Plus, it doesn't make any effort to correllate interest in 4e to age or compare it to some other set---say people with some interest in basket weaving, so what's the point of the survey?

No. You can combine the chunks however you want by yourself. You should wait a few days until a lot of people have gotten the chance to vote though.

But, having more options of specific data is better than fewer options of "chunked" general data because it shows the details. You can always combine the data into groups later on.

And then, you can make your own correlations.

No. It's not better to do that. Why do you think that none of the surveys you ever get sent ask you how old you are? They ask you to chunk yourself out. 18-35 or whatever. Not, "I was born in 1974." It's easier to make sense of that kind of data, whereas having the detail for every single year isn't helpful or useful.

Plus, I can draw my own correllations? Based on what? With what do I correllate it? Your survey doesn't give me anything to work on. The only thing I can do is try to find some other set of average age and compare the two surveys.

So far, it looks like this survey is exactly in line with the ENWorlder age in general, so again; this poll doesn't actually accomplish anything because of the way it's structured.

Since you can link to this poll right from the main forum page you might not realize it is looking for those interested in 4th ed... I myself thought it was just a poll for the ages of EnWorld posters... I am interested in 4th ed, but I can see where people might not be following the original poster's polling parameters
