Arancaytar Law Bringer Member # 2984	written Friday, January 6 2006 05:30 Profile Homepage #0 I thought about starting a new poll to get some sort of average age for this board, but then I remembered that the birthdays are saved in the member database as well, so I decided to make a few stats from that and post them. And then I realized that only about 880 members even have a birthday set, and these people might not even be the same ones as the ones who regularly post here. So there is still a poll, grouped into as sensible a scale as I could come up with, and then I'm going to post the stats that I got from the database. Here's how it works: There are 7 questions, one for each age range. Your age is going to be in one of the questions; so put in your age in that question and answer the others with "younger than" /"older than". That was the way to get the greatest age range without messing up the poll. And please don't try to be clever and put in contradictory responses such as "younger than 20", "older than 50", etc. :rolleyes: Also, to keep the sample accurate, if you clicked "Don't wish to answer" in the first one, answer all the others with "younger than". It seems as if that would distort the result, but in fact it's easy to subtract these afterwards.

Arancaytar Law Bringer Member # 2984	written Friday, January 6 2006 05:59 Profile Homepage #1 And now, as promised, the stats. These stats are for every month since the database was started, but the age is always calculated relative to "now". The difference is only due to people changing/displaying/deleting their birthdates or new members joining. In August 2005: 867 listed their age. The age range is from 2.81 - 103.09 years The average is 24.22 years The standard deviation is 10.82 years. September 2005: Count: 895 Range: 2.81-103.09 years Average: 24.28 years Deviation: 10.84 October 2005: Count: 908 Range: " Average: 24.21 years Deviation: 10.81 years November 2005: Count: 925 Range: " Average: 24.24 years Deviation: 11.07 years December 2005: ((I started to post this, but then realized I royally messed up the data last month by somehow failing to take into account birthdays before 1970, ie with timestamps<0. So I couldn't.)) -------------------- Encyclopaedia Ermariana • Forum Archives • Forum Statistics • RSS [Topic / Forum] My Blog • Polaris • I eat novels for breakfast.

Or else o'erleap. Law Bringer Member # 335	written Saturday, January 7 2006 18:55 Profile Homepage #24 All my esteem and respect for you have now vanished, Alex. —Alorael, who is 56, not 54. He is not Korean, not a businessman, and has no particular desire for cow products of any kind. His size and level of perspiration are both fairly average and his morphology is well within the commonly expected range of those who have one X and one Y chromosome.
