So 17 then.

i hate it when you ask people how old they are and they say for example "oh, i'm 22 in 3 months" when they could just as easily say "i'm 21"

i'd say average forum age is about 24

Well done. Your maths skills are very impressive.

Nearly as good as your family planning skills.

BAM!

Ha ha ha, I knew that would come up!

I didn't intend any offence to anyone, sorry if I did.

I'm 96 years old

Zefan · 30 Aug 2006 at 12:06

I'm 18.

Poll tbh, even though I think it's been done before.

Its been done to death. Average age is mid 20's.

I was thinking of doing an entire online questionnaire, just for interests sake.

Questions like;

Age, Sex, Occupation, Marital Status, Location, etc, just to find out what the true average OcUK'er is like!

But I doubt many people would do it, plus I'm not quite bored enough right now.

Its forums thats been going for about 6 yeahs and has 20,000+ members.
Just about every single topic has been done to death but you will always get different answers from the new members

I'm 18

It seems to me that there are two main groups. There is the 16-21 type age range and there are also a lot of older people that are around the early to mid 30s. Mid 20s being the average simply because it is in the middle of those two

Or maybe this is just me being dumb

You can easily tell those that are under 20 by their posting style and how much free time they have.

Which then result in the exact same conclusion being drawn, no?

Not always.
If this was done in a few weeks ago when you guys had school holidays it would have been a younger age bracket

I think you missed the bit that said "you will always get a different answer from the new members"

Definately, hopefully in a month or so this will tail off...

Generally you're looking at mid 20's taking into account a large proportion of the forums. But currently if you look at who post regulary (maybe read too much imo) i assume that would bring the average age down at least two or three years. That's how immature some users seem to be.

Don't worry it's far from cool and a lot of people notice.

I doubt it, I'll be at uni with a restricted internet connection allowing hardly anything but web browsing, so I'll be on more probably
