| 502520 | 2006-11-29 23:54:00 | When I started this poll I thought most users would be in thier teens and twenties so that is why I split up the first four age groups like that. I made a small mistake with the two twenty yr old groups. It should have been 20 to 24, and 25 to 29. This splits the twenties in half. Another reason for splitting the twenties is that adolescence goes until age 24 or 25, according to the medical studies about brain development. There is also a social issue where many in their early twenties are still more loose and free or otherwise unattached whereas the later twenties tend to be more settled. Thats the theory anyhow. Our results for the 70s and 80s groups surprise me in a nice way as I thought there would be hardly any members that old, even in their 60s. All in all the fairly even age distribution makes our PF1 group _ in my opinion _ a more vibrant, interesting and colourful group. Although I don't post much I sure learn alot about not only tech info but other matters as well. Oh yes, I get a few needed laughs as well! |

All it tends to show is the proportion of people that are inclined to vote on a frivolous and unnecessary poll. Further, the stats that this poll produces aren't indicative of the uses that users make of these forums. There are many users that simply post a thought, an opinion, a feeling or a comment. And there's those users who contibute to the technical queries that arise. I kinda think that the under 25's contribute more to the former, and the over 30's more to the latter. |

I tend not to agree, in fact more than just not tend :) Even if the poll is not statistically representative of all those who have registered, the age distribution it does show will be of interest to many, if not to you Greg. Therefore IMHO, I would not say it is meaningless or frivolous. The poll did not ask for the division between technical/chat uses, therefore it cannot be indicative of use, therefore there is no point in "complaining" on that point. QED. Back in the days of the first PF1, I used to be one of those who complained about the growing amount of frivolous "chatting" that started up. There was obsessive preoccupation with post numbers, many of which were generated by 'pointless' chat instead of technical responses. The introduction of PC World Chat was intended to separate the functions, and it has succeeded. |
