We haven't had an age poll on this site for about 4 years 3 months, so I reckon it's time for another. I'm going to replicate Kieran's old format for comparison as much as anything else. We repeatedly talk about the decline of gamebooks among young people but I don't know that's 100% given, young people continue to play board games. If young people listen to podcasts, why can't young people play gamebook apps.

Depressingly I've gone up a bracket since last time. Near enough a given with that time lapse but still hurts!

As Alanis Morissette sings, "Do you realize I was born in 1974?", so I duck the top category by a little over a year, assuming it should read 51+.

I'm wondering the reasons for the absence of anyone in the under 18 section in either poll. It isn't necessarily young people aren't playing FF - they are probably more into Instagram and Threads or whatever has now replaced Twitter and Facebook. Funnily I could see some Ian Livingstone contests being on Youtube or Tik Tok. Don't think most FF including the new ones are on Ebook but I don't think that's an issue for young people (like vinyl, the picture quality is probably as much of an issue). Presumably people voting in 18-24 might have been under 18 between today and back when Kieran's poll came out.

People under 18 don't use fora anymore.

People under 18 don't use fora anymore. Most young people will have Instagram and\or TikTok accounts instead of going on "chatsites" (e.g. Snapchat and Youtube comments) where they will get into pointless destructive arguments and make as many enemies as friends. On the flipside we have had 18 people voting so far where the previous identical poll posted in the same category had 12 people, this is amazing growth where old forum websites such as Friends Reunited and Yahoo Answers! have shut down for whatever reason.
