If I had to wager, it's somewhere between the 36 to 37 age range. I don't think many young'ins are creating GFAQs accounts since the website is mostly usable without one -- if they're even using the site at all.
And maybe they're really magic, who knows.

Of every active video game website, this one surely has the oldest userbase on average.

Social boards: Definitely over 30, perhaps over 35
Game boards: People on social boards tend to forget that these exist, but if you look at any active or modern game board I'd say the average is still around ~15.

To average the entire website the main question is the ratio of social posters to game posters.

The average age of game board posters i doubt is 15. Nobody born in the late 00s/early 10s are coming here regularly. It might be a tad younger, maybe late 20s. But the average gfaqs user overall is probably born around 1987 through 1990. Its an aging site

Click on any topic that's linked on the home page (all the most engagement-bait ones). I refuse to believe that this is how 20+ year olds post online now.

Definitely 30+ on social boards.

Game boards I have no clue. Most of the highly active ones are full of drivel so I don't even bother. Some of the mildly active ones are not bad though.

social boards are probably closer to 40 than 30.

The average age of people who vote in the Poll of the Day is now 39.

https://board8.fandom.com/wiki/GameFAQs_Average_Age

I'd guess this is roughly the same group that posts on social boards, so combine that with the younger crowd that posts a bit on game boards and the answer is probably around 32.

I have consistently been the average age in those "how old are you" polls, so I guess 39 now
