Something that amuses me is that the poll already looks like a normal distribution, skewed to ages 16~20.

This poll kind of confirms what I've believed for a while....this board is largely populated by intelligent teenagers and young adults.

You youngsters should all go to your rooms and let the grown ups do the important stuff play.  :P

Also, assuming that the active pool of Bay12 goers is 500ish ('people online today' is roughly 500), we only need 81 samples for a margin of error of 10%! We need 218 samples for a m.o.e of 5%, so that's a bit out of the question.

Not really - this pole has several levels of bias going on. It's not a scientific sampling of the boards userbase. Margin of error down to 5% is incredibly unlikely.

Yeah, none of these ages really surprised me. Except I expected Tiruin and Furtuka to be at least 20 years old, and I guessed Gamerlord to be much younger. Otherwise my head canon doesn't require much revising.

Either way, I see a normal distribution not only developing, but flourishing.

And by either way, I meant 'good point' xD

I'm not surprised with the 16-20, but there being others below 16 is weird. I want to be the only stupid teen!

Damn ninjas! x5
