Feel like the majority will land between 36-45, but just curious...
Expand that to 31-45, and I think you are right.Feel like the majority will land between 36-45, but just curious...
They'll be getting out of bed to vote soon.Nobody at all under 25?
this site needs a shaky cam and some quick cuts ASAP.
To be fair, these are FFA demographics.Q: What do the demographics look like for a hobby that's on its death bed?
A: This.
Square dancing will never die, says I.
I agree...To be fair, these are FFA demographics.Like a third of our conversations involve something from the 80s.Q: What do the demographics look like for a hobby that's on its death bed?

It's the lack of threads discussing our feelings.It might be because our schools suck now and younger people can't read or write.
No doubt we should spend more time boosting posters' self esteem and letting them know that they're all winners.It's the lack of threads discussing our feelings.It might be because our schools suck now and younger people can't read or write.
this is where most fail:mr roboto said:Young posters don't fare well in here (Eminence is either too dense or all shtick to be turned away). The community here is well established, rules for discourse are clear, and in general, new posters who don't figure it out get run out.

We're also pretty hard on text speak, which is good. Keeps out the riff-raff.mr roboto said:Young posters don't fare well in here (Eminence is either too dense or all shtick to be turned away).

And when we do find the shift key, there is no guarantee the damn thing still works.Jesus, you guys are old. I'm imagining 75% of you pecking at your keyboards like a chicken and needing help finding the shift key.
I would have guessed a higher % in my range...31-35.
I've been thinking about this. Message boards haven't been around that long, relatively speaking, so there is no "norm." We're pioneers!Sheesh... to think i've been here 12 years now... do message boards like the FFA basically draw a core of users, then the board ages with said users.... is this a message board thing? I'm only really semi-active on one other board, and it became clear to me quickly that board's demographic was 10-12 years younger.... almost like the old yellow ffa
Tanner is working out now, brah. Guy could still be around a while.Chem X, Eephus, Tanner, and of course, Viper push the average up big time. Most of them should be dying off soon, so it will probably renormalize.
I was asking myself the same thing.Sheesh... to think i've been here 12 years now... do message boards like the FFA basically draw a core of users, then the board ages with said users.... is this a message board thing?

It's not just people your age, I see a lot of only interesting in spreading news and then making superficial comments on it.I'm 24, a part-time FFA'er at best in terms of contribution, but I've been lurking/reading since I was in high school. The draw to me is the broad knowledge base, and the humor here. There's a pretty specific brand of FFA humor that clicks with me, that I can't imagine most people my age finding funny. It's just a different feeling little corner of the Internet that clearly doesn't appeal to most of my generation, partially because of the slow death of FF among younger people preventing them from discovering it in the first place (or they are too casually interested to need message board research/discussion), and partially because it's just not a good personality fit. My generation is obnoxious, to sum it up in one word.
But mostly, message boards only really become a "hobby" for certain types of people. My generation isn't looking to read a 19 page thread, no matter how hilarious it is, or whether it's an instant FFA classic. They want the info they need now, and that's it. It's why so many younger FF owners gravitate towards twitter. The chore of contributing to, and cultivating relationships on, an Internet message board doesn't appeal to people my age that I know. My roommates all through college thought it was weird how instead of hanging out on Facebook I'd read and post here and at a redskins message board, when I was bored.
Message boards are just not how people my age gather or share information, generally.
Pretty accurate guess.Feel like the majority will land between 36-45, but just curious...
Yeah but I don't look a day over 70 so I have that going for me.NCC is 67. Otis is 62. These guys have seen it all.
I peaked in my 50s. Late bloomer.NCC is 67. Otis is 62. These guys have seen it all.
Or get paid 101 to stay.Young posters don't fare well in here (Eminence is either too dense or all shtick to be turned away). The community here is well established, rules for discourse are clear, and in general, new posters who don't figure it out get run out.
I just turned 30 and I think I've been here for almost 8 years. Most of that spent in the Drunk Thread.
