31 - although I remember following the forum way back in 2004 I never joined. I was into many message boards in my teens though and reddit never existed back then.

It looks like there is very little new blood coming in which is sad. Perhaps an epic cup run will bring some people in. I find message boards to be so much more community based than reddit.

I'm not going to say my age, except to say I remember the excitement when Queen Elizabeth had her first child, Prince Charles. I was a little bit more than two years away from being a teenager at the time.

Now you're going to look up Prince Charles's birthdate, so I'll save you the trouble...it's November 14, 1948.

Also my wife and I (we started dating in our mid teens 67 years ago) were very happy to have our first vaccine shot last weekend. Happily, we had no side effects, and are looking forward to the freedom in being able to return to a more normal life, without the fear of ending up in the obits.

Nice to see a lot of young, very astute young hockey fans join the site, and that the older members are aging gracefully.

Good ol' Perl-based UBB forums really hit their stride when people like me were in their early teens. So you have the analog childhood / digital adolescence demographic really getting into this forum-type of communication medium. I remember nearly every goddamn website had a UBB (often pirated). The age drop-off in younger demographics is expected as there were more social media options in later years.

All I'll say is I was born a year after the Flames moved to Calgary.

Close. I was expecting the 30's and 40's brackets be swapped. I thought we'd have a higher number of 40's here. But beyond that...pretty close.

I looked at the brackets and though, dammit they put 35 in the upper 30s bracket. Couldn't we have had 31-35, 36-40, 41-45 etc?

Let me hang on to early 30s for one more year!

I think you're due for a username change.

Wow. There are more 75+ year olds than I'd have expected.

I am shocked at how few there are under 25

Would never have guessed that the 75+ crowd would beat it

In the year I was born the USS Nautilus completed "Operation Sunshine" the world's first nuclear-powered submarine to complete an undersea voyage to the north pole.
