Well-Actually War Trall Actaeon Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 It's time for another resurrection of a poll that's been done before. Once again, I'll hope you'll pardon me for how I structure my options. Those of you in the extremes may wish to vie for the tenuous honor of oldest or youngest member. Edit: Please treat the sixth option as 26-29. If a mod wants to edit that, I'd appreciate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've had some others in the 60+ group that appear for a few weeks. One was SubVet and another left before his kids (doctors) found out that he frequented a kid's game site.

Magnificent Ornk Dikiyoba Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Originally Posted By: Actaeon And yeah, I was under the impression Alorael was far from oldest. Alorael's advanced age is part of his gimmick. While we're at it, he is doesn't actually live in Alaska, he isn't addicted to skribbane, and he doesn't murder random pedestrians from far away. Dikiyoba could go on, but some of you are probably already disappointed enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Archaeolagent Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Dikiyoba is correct. In real life, Alorael murders carefully chosen pedestrians from far away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well-Actually War Trall Rupert Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Most of the older members got into the forum in their teens (as evidenced by the average amount of maturity back then). Even with newer members, because of the tone of the forum these days, it was always a fairly safe bet that most of the people here were going to be in their 20s.

Ironically, it would work either way. Interesting statistical tidbit: While the graph returned by the poll looks quite Gaussian in shape, when you normalize for equal bin widths, it becomes very, very leptokurtic and doesn't resemble any distribution much at all.

Well-Actually War Trall Actaeon Posted June 28, 2012 Author Share Posted June 28, 2012 Perhaps I should have organized the poll with normal intervals, but I was attempting to strike a balance between numerical age and stage of life. Turns out, Diki took care of the latter. (Even so, using three year increments into the fifties and sixties would have been rather excessive.)

Turns out, Diki took care of the latter. Dikiyoba's original plan was to do an age thread with two polls, one with regular intervals that could be statistically analyzed and a more idiosyncratic one based on life stages and the breakdown of previous age polls, but you beat Dikiyoba to it.

Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Without any data to back it up, I'd assert that the average age of Spiderwebbers has crept up. People tend to join and then stick around, and while I'm not sure the age of arrival has changed, the sticking around drags the averages. —Alorael, who is glad his gimmicks have become self-perpetuating, or at least other-perpetuating. Perpetuation is hard work, and he's glad to outsource. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easygoing Eyebeast Dintiradan Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Hmm, actually, the northmost North American member might be me, barring the likely scenario of someone else being from Alaska. I'm from the Edmonton area, which is almost as far north as Prince George is, whereas I remember VCH being in or close to Kamloops. But maybe he's moved since.
