considering you just learned about the term today and I've been using it for years, I think I'll go with my interpretation

The term might not have existed when I was younger, but old man strength did - it just never had a name. You just knew that the older guy stood better odds in a physical contest than the younger one, unless the younger guy was built like a pro linebacker.

I'll turn 40 in August, so I'm creeping in on the 41-50 age bracket. Completely fine with that though. The 30's have been good and the 40's look to ge great!

Thanks, Randy

Well, look at it this way - since "40 is the new 20", Randy, you're merely 19, and David, you're only 24!

Dang, when I was 15, the only forums there were were De'vo's and Ellusionists.

Y'all so lucky. ToT

Adding one more to the 41-50 bracket...48 in November. One of my favorite quotes is "Growing old is madatory, growing up is optional" has served me well all these years!

Makes me feel old. Just not old enough to fart dust yet.

I forgot I was 20 when this place opened, so I just got to change my category!

Hurray! How long do you think the bell curve will hold out? I hope we don't get an influx of younger members and the chart shifts to a decreasing trend. That will make Don feel even more like an old fart.

Actually, my category has grown dramatically since I signed up. When this topic was started, there were perhaps two, maybe three - now there's eleven.

Trivial fact: my age group makes up only about 8% of the people polled. I alone have created about ~~12%~~ (correction, now it's 13.15%) of all the posts on this board - (more than) one out of every eight!

LoL. See I am in that small group of seven over 51. Being older I collect older cards

You'll hear more from me as I enter the Discourse world.

24 here, looks like I'm adding to the bell curve.

19 here. Its actually quite cool how the bell curve actually exists here. Its nice to see that we have all types of ages and outlooks in this forum.

It is curving more, but it's still a bit lopsided. The three top age segments are still ages 15-25, as they have been since the poll started. I do notice, however, significantly more older members than before.

Yep, I feel like some sort of relic.............42 in a couple of weeks!!

Don Boyer · « **Reply #149 on:** October 18, 2014, 11:37:48 PM »

After all this time, the Bell curve is finally shifting more noticeably - the median used to be younger and the curve itself has grown wider. In the early days, those teen groups were the biggest and it dropped off quickly from there - I was one of only two or three people in my (older) age group.

The hobby is maturing!

I should probably close this topic and start fresh - some of the entries are so old, the users who made them may or may not even be active members anymore!

Poll

How old are you?
