Aww, but I'm a 50 year old male, and if we became friends I'd be called a paedophile and end up in jail. Sad

Oh, yeah. You can find more info on average forum age here:

animenewsnetwork.com/bbs/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1099137

It's still not that informative, but it gives a pretty good idea. Feel free to vote as well.

Isn't this more accurate?


I think that it might be a little tricky to say. The site poll includes a lot of people who might only read the news articles and perhaps editorial content, but largely ignore the forums. The other poll has a small sample, but I have an impression that it reflects the active forum users more accurately as older than the general readership.

Gender surveys are pretty complicated nowadays, as people get offended easily.

Retirement is the age you can leave your job and start getting money from the government. Over here (UK) you can continue working and get the money on the top of it, or simply opt to stop working.

It's pretty balanced. Most people here only stop working if they have a disability. The most effective form of brainwashing known to mankind: life.

What do you mean by retirement? That you won't watch anime anymore? (sorry if it's a stupid question, my english is bad and I don't really get the meaning of word retirement)

Also, I just felt a sudden urge to meet everyone in this forum, people like Tony K., egoist, Surrender Artist, dtm42... But I guess there's no possible way to do that, as we might actually live on the other side of the planet. Sad


Well, Lithuania isn't quite the other side of the world, but it is a long way from Pennsylvania. One of the frustrations of internet fora is that you often get to know and really like people that you'll almost certainly never have a chance to meet personally.

What gender do you identify as?

-Prefer not to say 56 out of 2992 (1.9%)
-(none of the above) 34 out of 2992 (1.1%) Shocked


There are people for whom gender is not a straightforward a question with an answer that first into the standard boxes; probably more than you'd think or than realize it. I don't understand the concepts well myself, but I'd like to think that people don't keep adding letters to LGBT for kicks. (Although it, as is true of all initialisms, starts to look silly as it gets ungainly)

Say, since we're on the subject, why not participate in my poll on a similar question see if the forums might differ from the general readership in the distribution of sex as they seem to for age.

That's so sad... Sad


I'm kind of paranoid about crazy people... As much as I like someone I met on the internet I don't think I could ever arrange to meet them in person Confused

Well, for me it would feel really exciting. I'm completely not against meeting people ranging from ~12 years old girls (I bet that sounded so wrong) to even ~50 years old dudes. Smile

How about 50 year old ladies? Wink

Meeting can be safe. Bring a friend along and arrange to meet somewhere very public. Preferably, inform another friend of who and where you are meeting (police can track IPs quite easily nowadays) Someone who'd propose to meet somewhere quiet should definitely get a red light on your radar.

I'd rather be safe than sorry
I'm kind of an "old soul" compared to other teenagers who don't think about the consequences of their actions
