    Forum Survey - Age

    Hi!  Some of you may recall a conversation a few weeks ago where I said I thought it would be interesting to do some gender and sexuality surveys here in our forum. So I thought, why not.  Not wanting to get into anyone's business, all answers are anonymous, but I am interested in the make up of our little community here.

    Please feel free to comment on results. 

    And finally - What's our age range?


    How old are you?

    Re: Forum Survey - Age

    Thinking about the fact that I am twenty makes me feel kind of old sometimes, but on this forum I am one of the "young'ens."

    So, referring to your original post tonnaree, does this mean you will be posting more of these surveys about different things?

    EDIT: I just found the answer to my own question, lol.  I just saw theo ther topics.

    I am technically old enough to be Ben's mother, but I would've have to have had gotten knocked up when I was 14.  *giggle*

    I may be old but so far immaturity has kept me young.

    I think this survey's thread made me giggle the most.  Aww, you guys....   
    And yeah, some fandoms skew one way or other, but neat ours is such a range.  I'm old enough to be Ben's little sister, given if there wasn't too much of a gap, like sometimes is.  He'd've been such an awesome older brother.  Or something else.
