I think you mean in 1999 most people here on www.gamefaqs.com were 13 15. Now most are 29 to 32.

That's cool, but it also correlates with how gamefaqs has been getting but the merest trickle of new blood.

Perhaps gamefaqs just reflects the population of gamers really well. Most are 90s kids because this is the period after the popularization of the internet, but before the advent of social media.

That's exactly it. There's little (immediately recognizable) incentive to join now when you're connected to "everybody" through facebook and the standard linked social media sites, but back when gamefaqs was at it's most popular, it was the most convenient venue for a gaming community.

I remember finding this site and being shocked that I could get cheat codes for free instead of being subscribed to a magazine. Also wasting my parents' printer ink by printing out 100 page walkthroughs for easy games.

I've always been slightly above the curve max. 18 in 1999 and 35 now.

I think traditional FAQs simply fell by the wayside with video walkthroughs and social media groups being the more visual and maybe more practical options. Not that people aren't still using them quite a bit, but they aren't the main option anymore. --- Wii U SN: gsninja | PSN: TheLooseCaboose7 | Street Fighter V IGN: Twerk4Jesus Life is like a box of chocolates; it doesn't last as long for fat people. ...

YouTube really changed the game for a lot of things, no pun intended. Visual medium helps a great deal.
