Chad Harrison Posted January 11, 2002 Share Posted January 11, 2002 The long awaited math has now been completed! The delay was caused by the real world slowing down my CM world! Here the math: There were 142 replies to my question of age. There were: 11 who were under 20 years old 25 who were between 20 and 29 years old 52 who were between 30 and 39 years old 37 who were between 40 and 49 years old 17 who were over 50 The average age of the board is: 36.18 Years Old The Median of the ages given: 37 Years Old The Mode (most frequent) age given: 37 Years Old By far, the most common ages ran from 36 to 42 years old. At 22 years old myself, I can say that I feel young here! I can also say that it is good to see a game that soo many 'older' people play. If you did this for any other game, the average would be 20 or 19 years old! Thanks to all you 'older' men for making this game great!

busboy Posted January 11, 2002 Share Posted January 11, 2002 18 here, I didn't answer the poll. (wasn't back to posting at the time). Being an 18 year old "military historian" (as best I can, that is) I can say this: Thank God for older people! I know age is not always a sign of maturity (I suppose I could use myself as an example there...but I won't ) but it generally plays a big part in the behavior of people. It is SOOooooo annoying to have kiddies with no attention span that enjoy insulting people just to be insulting, finding everything they don't like about a game and beating issues into the ground...I'm gonna try not to get started. I used to play Warbirds, an online WW2 flight sim that required a monthly fee and a fair bit of dedication to realism. Because of this, the average age was close to 30. Kiddies just didn't play. I now play World War II Online, which is sold in a box (greater accessability) and has a small[er] monthly fee ($10). While realism is as good as the producers can get, the kiddies are INSANE... Long story short, I'm glad this community has some wisdom and experience behind it. Some folks my age are wonderful human beings, but so many of them are little ****s.

I can use it, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew you were in college, guess I always figured junior or senior [ 01-11-2002: Message edited by: Captain Wacky ]</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luftwaffe Posted January 11, 2002 Share Posted January 11, 2002 I'm also 18, I guess that since the younger generation (not all of us as we can see) need either a big hollywood movie or video game to get them interested in something I can see why there are more "elders" in here. For all of us 20 and under it's gonna be us preserveing history 20 years from now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madmatt Posted January 11, 2002 Share Posted January 11, 2002 Okay these types of threads always come up with the same results (average age of player between 34-37) and do nothing by tie up the board so I am going to close it down.
