How old are you now? [poll]

Postby AiliailiA » Fri Apr 01, 2016 3:48 pm

Once every five months, I take a poll of General poster ages. This is the poll for April 2016.

Previous and planned age polls:

Usual terms:

  • The poll will run for two weeks. If your birthday is in the range April 1 to April 15 (from when the poll starts to when it ends) then you can vote the higher or lower age, as you prefer.
  • If you post an age in the thread, make sure you also vote in the poll. If you post an age and DON'T vote, your entry will cancel out in the bar graph I make. But of course you can vote without posting an age (or posting at all) in the thread.
  • I make bar graphs of the estimated number of posters of each year of age, and edit those into this post (the Original Post). The estimates are more accurate if many posters state their age in years. There is no need to state an exact birthday, though you can if you want.
  • Some time late in the poll period I will estimate median and average ages of posters.


How old are you, posters?

And, do you know anyone born April 1st? Does that suck for them?

I will turn 23 at the end of this July.

At time of writing, I am the only 21-22 year old on NSG.

Imgur is a good image host. I don't use it nearly as much as I should, but it's forum-friendly, unlimited capacity and has resizing tools for it too.
I tend to host in Dropbox and resize the image externally in Paint or something. Imageshack for the last few years hasn't made up its mind if it's a subscription service or not but that used to have resizing tools.

You'd better believe I'm a bitter Bernie Sanders supporter. The Dems fucked up and fucked up hard. Hopefully they'll learn that neoliberalism and maintaining the status quo isn't the way to win this election or any other one. I doubt they will, though.

Every 2, 3, 4 or 6 months would repeat a month before having a poll in every month.

eg 4: Nov, Mar, July, Nov

Every 7 months would work as well as every 5. I chose 5 though.

Might be because ostensibly I'm a year behind, academically.
