Gerald Ford shot dead today, at the senseless age of 84.

Gerald Ford was mauled by a pack of wolves today, he was delicious.

Apparently a lot of 28-30 year olds are into football text sims. I'm proud to fall in the middle of that group.

'71 is representing. I thought Drake, MizzouRah and Fonzie were older and I thought tucker_rocky and Ksyrup were ancient. Guess I was wrong. I already knew about vtbub and Dutch. Welcome to the club gentlemen. There are a good group of people born this year.

Hey, all I was saying is that it is nice to know that the Ksyrup is not close to the expiration date. You still have a long shelf life as long as no one breaks the jar. ;)

[lighthousekeeper]

What I'm really curious to find out is whether the average age of the board members is steady or increasing over time. I would wager that five years ago, most of us on this board were avg=~25 and now it's avg=~30. And if that's true, what that means with regards to things like (A) forum topics, (B) available time for text sim sport games, (C) Solecismic's target demographic, etc...

[lighthousekeeper]

and btw...

anyone on this board born before '65 is just a dirty ole' man.

[wade moore]

Man... interesting to me that no one is under the age of 18 so far... explains a lot about why this community is different from so many others out there.

Strange. I thought they infected the whole internets.

I predict the ammount of dirty ole men on this board will rise dramatically in the next few years so long as Solecismic is still making sims.

[Alan T]

This was a great idea, now any time Isiddiqui gets out of line, I can just tell him "Pipe down youngster"

[Subby]

Pretty sure Team 1971 would destroy all comers.

[Julio Riddols]

I was able to bore my way out of my homeworld in 81.

Yeah, but the implication is that I'm Bucc Lite! :D

Any way you slice it, if we all got together, it would still be a sausagefest.

And if that's true, what that means with regards to things like (A) forum topics, (B) available time for text sim sport games, (C) Solecismic's target demographic, etc...It's definitely increasing over time:

http://www.operationsports.com/fofc/showthread.php?t=4890

In that poll, (4 years ago), 42.27% of those voting were 30 or over. In this one, approximately 58.59% are 30 or over. (I calculated that by assuming that of the 12 1977ers, approximately 1 has already turned 30.) Furthermore, the 38-and-up and 42-and-up numbers have more than DOUBLED (5.69% vs.13.00% and 3.25% vs. 6.61%, respectively). I commented on this to Arlie recently, actually, regarding the BBCF interface being white writing on black text, and that people have compained about eye fatigue. Most of those who had that problem were in the ever-increasing over-35 crowd. (He has mentioned to me that his future games will go with light backgrounds and dark writing.) I, too, wonder if age of the audience is going to be something that text sim developers have to take into account in the future. I know that my brother, who is 50, recently switched to 800 by 600 resolution almost exclusively.

[Ksyrup]

Please let us know when Arlie has fixed the over-35 bladder control AI problems that plagued his last game. Thanks.
