Amon Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Based on the data I've collected from this thread the collective age is: Damn. I screwed up on my first try. Worry not! I'll try another time. My age is 26. Collective age currently: 863 year Those in the their 18 years made up the bulk of the age with a collective age of 199 year. There were 11 people in that age group. They were also the biggest age group. Runner-ups were those in their 20 years totalling 140 year. There were 7 people in that age group being also the runner-up in age groups. The youngest age group was the 14 years. They totalled only 28 year. They were also amongst the smallest age group. There were four people who didn't share their age with no one. Those had the age of 31 years, 25 years, 23 years and 27 years (being revealed by another member).

mtg101 Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 We have 2121 members under 18, and 333 over the age of 18 (as of today) That surprises me. I suppose that because I'm over 30, and all the people I play games with are over 30, I assume that there're loads of older gamers out there. These numbers probably scupper my plans of suggesting going for a few beers with anyone going to the Oxford Street GAME midnight release of the Wii...

Ashley Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 I suppose you have to take off at least 20% for members who are inactive, spambots or whatever. But still, yus, its a majority kids forum (so stop the foul language! :p) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amon Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 I wouldn't mind going for a couple of beers with you, mtg101. But, I live so far away from you. One plane ticket to Oslo (appr. £60) and then towards London (probably around £30). Plus, hotel expenses which I am not sure how much it costs. =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But still, yus, its a majority kids forum (so stop the foul language! :p) I agree that kids shouldn't be exposed to foul language on the internet: they should learn that sort of thing in the school playground, as I had to. However, if we're to set a good example by not using bad language and correcting the kids when they use it, shouldn't we do the same with bad language usage? To that end, Ashley, your last sentence would have been better written as "Still, yes, the majority of forum members is kids". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Odwin Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 To that end, Ashley, your last sentence would have been better written as "Still, yes, the majority of forum members is kids".

mtg101 Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Oh, a cardinal sin. Correcting grammar and still not getting it right. It is a well known 'fact' that while you're correcting someone else's grammar on a forum it's impossible not to make a mistake yourself. However I haven't found an error in my response yet. Please point it out to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtg101 Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 It's 'are' not 'is' before 'kids'. The "is" is referring to "the majority", which is singular. So while it should be "most of the members are..." it should be "the majority is...". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supergrunch Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 The "is" is referring to "the majority", which is singular. So while it should be "most of the members are..." it should be "the majority is...". The majority is below 18. but The majority of forum members are kids.

Ollie Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 I'm 22, been here since I was 17 I think, Johelian pointed me here, I have to say that of the regulars (Jordan/Dabooker etc) I think I have noticed a change in post 'maturity' to some degree (not always tho :P).

Shorty Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 I am an elderly 20, although I look about 18. I still get ID'd in unfamiliar places, bah.

GigaPlay Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 I'm 15, I joined when I was 14. Not a very long time. Also, I wish I was older. Scratch that, I wish I was taller. D: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babooo Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 I am 17 and have been browsing these forums for quite a few years....just before the release of the Gamecube when these forums were known as Cube Europe. There was a period about a couple of months ago when I hardly started to come on at all. But recently I've been here quite alot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To that end, Ashley, your last sentence would have been better written as "Still, yes, the majority of forum members is kids". Grammar is as superficial as Jordan (the busty woman, not the forum member). You understand the sentence from the context. Same with words, why should I have to use words in the dictionary. Or even within common usage. So I may say "oh frak I'm so plum flustered over this doodathing" but doesn't mean its unintelligable (within the context, the person would know what the "doodathing" is). Im a firm believer in the descriptive linguistic approach. And Shorty, you do look under 18. But I always get carded too, its fine. Enjoy it before we all become old and wrinkly. Cause that's truely worse than bad grammar :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
