Geez... Am I the only one in the over-50 group? Ah well, as Jimmy Buffet sang, I'm growing older but not up. 53 (as of yesterday!) going on 15.

Ha! I might have turned 30 today, but it's still another year 'till I'm an old fart at Sluggy.net!

My two-year-old likes bunbun... but she's not on the forums, so I guess it's a moot point.

Booya! Gotta love being in that majority.
I wish we could see some sort of poll that asked a range of questions, like how long you have been reading Sluggy for, and favourite character and the likes. It would be interesting to see some of these stats put together.

I was struck by an idea. Until now this poll has just been in ten year increments. While that is all fine and good, are you really interested in how many people are between 11-20? Or how many people in a given age bracket there are. No offense to the older crowd, but there is a greater change from 15-25 than from 35-50. So what if this poll reflected that. Say, have 11-17 (underaged), 18-24(undergrad), 25-35 (grad and living alone), 35-50 (getting a smidge more settled), 50-65 (light at the end of the tunnel) 65-80 (retirement) 80+ (how do you know how to use a computer, let alone brown a forum ya old fogey!)
I of course use generalizations in those parethesis. I am 19 and won't start undergrad until I am in the grad bracket, but you get my point, right? Do I make sense? Am I crazy? Both?

Well, things weren't working out for me in the 11-20 age group. As it turns out, they don't allow you to drink in that group, and everyone knows that cheese tortellini just doesn't taste right without a nice glass of Chianti, so I went ahead and got older.

Hey, where's the "Yes, please" option? I want to have a ton of steamy AGE right now! Er... Wait. Nevermind.
I'm on the cusp, so I just rounded up. It'll be relevant eventually.

id be more willing to have an age 1-17 bracket, cause those are the ones who shouldnt really be reading sluggy anyway. a completely different survey would be needed for those who read the forums too, where as the underage bracket would then be 1-35, seeing as blankslate freaks us all out on quite a regular basis

Ah, the polling data's a little bit less accurate now. A 31 year old is me.
