Demographics poll - Please respond

Post by SCRawl »

A recent thread has got me wondering what the ages are around here. If you would like to respond to this thread by answering the poll question above -- truthfully or not at all, if you please -- I would be glad to have your responses. If you would further like to respond with a post about your actual age, please do so, but be aware that unlike answering a poll such a response is not anonymous.
73% of all statistics are made up, including this one.

I'm waiting as fast as I can.

I might as well be the first: 43 years old. I believe that I'm roughly ten years older than the median age here, let's see if I'm right.

A minute's thought suggests that the very idea of this is stupid. A more detailed examination raises the possibility that it might be an answer to the question "how could the Germans win the war after the US gets involved?" - Captain Seafort, in a thread proposing a 1942 'D-Day' in Quiberon Bay

I was fifteen when I joined... Where the fuck did those twelve years go? Shit. SDN has certainly change over the years in who's still here and who has relatively joined recently. I would bet most original SDNers still here were at least in their twenties at the time though.
I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."

25 for most of a year, still feels a touch unreal though. Me as a theoretically responsible adult.

22. And about eight months. But I feel like a boring old sod.

I joined back on my old Norade account back in 2004 when I was 16, now I'm 26 and hopefully a bit wiser than I was back then.

17 when I joined, 20 now. I've done a hell of a lot of growing up in those three years, and I like to think SDN helped, at least with my online maturity. :D

I am 27.

I first made this account when I was 18. But prior to this account I had another one that I used and eventually lost the password for (heck, at this point I can't even remember what the user-name was). I don't recall ever posting when that old account, just lurking. And even prior to that account I was reading the forums and the website. I don't know exactly when I found the site, but suffice to say that Mark Wong's "Conquest" fan fiction was still being written at the time. That must have been ... what, 2002? 2003? So I would have been around 14. Jesus. It's a really weird thought that I've been reading stuff on these forums for over a decade.

I'm 30, though I've got two months and a few weeks on Rouge, hence my comment in his birthday thread. I was 19 when I joined, though I lurked for almost a year before that. As I recall, I joined towards the tail end of the tenure of a certain Dean of the Stratigic Defens Instatute.

A decision must be made in the life of every nation at the very moment when the grasp of the enemy is at its throat. Then, it seems that the only way to survive is to use the means of the enemy, to rest survival upon what is expedient, to look the other way. Well, the answer to that is 'survival as what'?
