So, what's the age breakdown for this group?

LOL, I had that same thought right after I made this poll and wondered if someone might make a comment about narrower categories. But seeing as I'm in the 50-something category (still less than dirt), you young-whippersnappers are all the same to me!

It varies person to person Fur so it's probably fine as is ;p I see kids more mature and smart than adults online all the time just as much as vice versa; hell my dad could never find his capslock key half the time he was online and enjoyed the use of more Punctuation than necessary =x

I'd have to agree on the breakdown of 20-30 considering I'm sure the majority of this community is in that range.

maybe you would want to break down 30-40 as well, but that is just for personal knowledge.

Above and beyond that you could just call 50+ "Dirt" :P

I can understand what you are saying, Fur. Perhaps a 20-24 and 25-29 breakdown would be good, especially since it will probably be the largest group.

This poll could be shutdown and a new one started I suppose. Do we need a moderator for that?

That's true Fur...though some colleges don't take as long as others either, depending on your Major. I was told I'd need a degree myself to get a decent job, and haven't been to college yet but here I am with a well-paying computer-related and fairly secure job anyways lol, self-experience pays off more than most Human Resources people will bother to listen to ;p

Either way though the poll's already made and voted on, I say we just have people reply with their age group if they care for detail ;)

I would say the 20 - 30 breakdown is understandable but everything depends on the person rather than age group.

I'm 21, have a top class degree in computer science, working a full time job and live in my own place. I would say I'm fairly mature and to geeky to be anything other than that so wouldn't want to be classified as a kid :(

Seriously if there is a 70+ Multiboxer out there, I want to know about them!

22 here. Some college (classes got in the way of my sleeping schedule) and now I'm working as a graphic artist. Have myself a fiancé and my one year old son Loki, and we're living in our own place.

I still like to act like a kid, but I don't believe maturity is based on age. But it is nice to know these details about the people in your community.

Also a 70+ multi-boxer would be awesome, we'd have to give them a nickname...

There's a saying..."Being Mature is simply knowing when, and where, to be immature." :P And if anyone gives 2 shits, I'm 23 ;p

Haha, no. I was working at Origin when it shut down and a few of my friends/collegues went there, but, I didn't want to live in California :)
2 of them still work there (5 went originally).

I've worked for Iguana/Acclaim, Origin/EA, Inevitable/Midway and a startup for NCSoft.

I'm currently working for a startup and contracting for other game companies as our funding paperwork gets settled.
