That's the "problem" with a poll about age that stays in place for years. Instead of showing the distribution of members' ages, it shows the distribution of members' ages at the time they came across the poll.

At two points in time, I recorded the distributions and added them to the very first post in this thread. They've stayed almost constant over time. By implication, the age distributions of people who're arriving at the forum and exploring it has stayed constant over time.

What's not so clear is the current age-distribution.

Maybe we should have a new poll that stays open only for a short while.

While this poll may not be bullet-proof, just select the range that applies to you and answer n/a for the other question to meet the software requirements.

This should desensitize the poll to the passage of time.

For a poll which will let you know the average age members discovered Objectivism Online, you may go here.

There is no way to make answering the second question optional or something? Heh, no a big deal, but I did not consider that I had to answer it and got an error the first time around.

As I expected, a decent portion in the 80-85 category. I certainly know a hell of a lot of active people around this range and the 85-90 range. Shouldnt be surprising that young adults in these categories will dominate this poll ( obvioulsy it is not a sure thing though).

I actually don't get the point of the second part to the poll unless you expect people to be answering it 60 or 70 years from now? Oh yeah, and 1977 FTW!

Good observation. I no longer have the power of edit. I should have started on the 0's and 5's and ended on 4's and 9's.

And after some consideration, it really won't desensitize the time with regard to coming and leaving. It will only keep your original demographic selection.
