Augustus Caesar Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Bringing us away from a line of conversation that could go where it need not I safely take us back to this topic... The total number of ages thus far (I leave out spurious or misleading ones) declared is 90. Of those 90 some had to be worked out due to dates posted to the forum... The total for those ages so far added is: 5,278. I ignored months offered up and rounded to integars. The average age of the members who posted here is therefore: 58.6444 recurring. The oldest is 87 years young and when you collate the numbers you'll be surprised how many are 50 and below. So what's next? Are we now to work out how far above and below the average we are? If so, I am 3 months above the average age for posters to this thread. It may be safe to assume this will be extremely close to the average age of everyone on the forum as not all would post here.

atom3624 Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Well Toby, you've resurrected a 6-y-o thread, but welcome to the forum and it's great to read there's enthusiasm in the 'younger generation' as well.Many will consider this 'private information', which is their right.Others like me, don't care!I'm 63.I started when your age, stopping 10 years later for perhaps 35 years, and can now count myself an active fellow enthusiast.Al.

M. Matthews Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 I’m 33. Should I assume that as the thread is titled average age that someone is doing all the calculations? joy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LTSR_NSE Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Surely the ‘point’ is simply a demonstration that those willing to disclose come from a (reasonably) wide range.The fact that this forum encourages participation from such a range is (hopefully) a positive reflection on both Hornby & the moderators.

96RAF Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Seeing such a wide age range should remind users that not all members are old duffers and to temper any comment to suit the members age if anyone can remember it. I am thinking here more towards respecting our junior members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moccasin Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 It’s an interesting thread and good to see many comparative youngsters on the forum.Me? I’m 50. Relatively young on this forum (no sniggering there), but considered old & decrepit by many I work and engage with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
