As recently as How many Feb. 29s have you seen? and for at least as many times as mentioned in this post various threads have been posted to try to determine some measure of “average age” of Dopers.
The more successful ones, in terms of participants, have attracted over 600 people’s responses, but have narrowed things down to no closer than 10-year periods. Here’s another shot at the issue.
Public poll on the way. No closing date for the poll.
Given that you have to be at least 13 to sign up for this board, I don’t think you are going to get many answers that list 2006-2010. (Or 2001-2005 for that matter.)
Quite so. On the other hand, the thread will still be “in date” for years to come, even as our ages change. The trade-off seemed worth it to me, assuming more than a few dozen people respond. It will take some work to get more than How old are you? which had 766 votes last time I checked.
The shape of this distribution is more convincing than others polls have been. Let’s just hope the shape continues to be “normal” as more voters arrive.
