I'm 42, but I look 30 because I drink the blood of my students.

I'm 75 so I'm probably screwing up the Average curve here.

Nah - you've just converted both you and Erik Twice into 51 year olds.

It warms my heart to know most of you(*) feel old. I look forward to seeing all of you downstairs soon. (**)
There are many, many Euros waiting for you. A new complicated point salad to be played every hour.
In silence.
Forever.

(*) Except Baby Twice.

Because I'm "that guy" when given a list a numbers, and everyone so helpfully reported their ages...

The self-reported average is 42.3. (taking Old Dwarf at his word). Aside from that outlier, it's a pretty solid 41.0. Median is 42, regardless. Histogram show two clusters at around 42-45 and 35-37.

So there's your answer thus far. I stand by my original joke about BGG and CSW.

Thanks for that depressing statistic. I was hoping I'd still be Joe average here

I'm telling you guys, Duke is right here. In my experience, younger people *do not* use forums. They experience the internet using other venues. Only older people use forums because they were brought up on the internet at a certain age.

You're right.

I think we should all move to Instagram. I'm looking forward to the stream of selfies with cranberries posing next to his toilet renovation.

I am always shocked when my kids use youTube to learn how to do things. While I concede that there are occasions when a video is best I mainly prefer written instructions or information. I normally get so annoyed when my only option is a video one (eg looking at a game on BGG that only has video reviews or when I am trying to set up software with a video). I suspect that this preference for text leads to the older demographic here (and I am another in that early 40s demographic).
