It seems to me that gamefaqs as a whole is much older now as opposed to 01-04 when your average poster was in the teens. Many boards have an older staple of users while board 8 and ce seem to have a spectrum (mostly children by the looks).

thoughts?

You're either trolling or genuinely mistaken in your assessment. Board 8 is one of the oldest active boards on the site (possibly the oldest). We're past the point where the average Board 8er is old enough to have graduated from college.

To me it seems like gfaqs in general has more teens, especially with gamespot's boards joining our game boards. But with the social boards, like here, I think the average is around 20. What I like most about B8 is that we've all seemed to grow up together. The majority of us used to be in our teens, now it seems to me that we're mostly in our early 20s.

Yeah, I'm 28. A lot of B8ers got into the board around the same time (2002-2004) and have stuck around.

I'd put B8 as one of the older boards on GFAQs.

More specifically, the average age around here was 21.2 years when I last ran the poll in late 2009 (with 217 responses, I think that number was accurate for the time). I can't imagine the average has dropped since then, as we don't get enough new/young B8ers to offset the old regs getting older.

Probably. But this way, the only new ones who survive are the strongest.

I mean, there are odd cases like Ctes and JC, but most of the board as far as I can see is either in college or working.

I was in B8C the other night and people were like wtf you're only 22? And I was like wow, people on B8 must be older than I thought if they're thinking 22 is young.

So I guess what I'm trying to say is B8 is old as ****.

There's actually very few new users. Most of the 'new' users are just alts that you don't recognize.
