Damnit, voted wrong because I figured the thread title would match with the poll question.  I do wish I was still in the 31-35 cohort, though.

You were seriously expecting many youngsters? We've run out of them and there's no significant influx of new posters, I guess there'll be at most a couple of guys still in college. This has become a middle-aged forum.

It would have been a fairly decent breakdown 10 years ago when the exodus from Paradox OT occurred.  There were only a few of us over 40 at the time (and maybe only 1 or 2 over 50, at least among the regulars) but now, well, just look at poll results.

Well, figure that I joined Languish eight years ago this month (!), and I was a late-comer, that only makes sense.
