    How Old Is The Typical vB Admin

    Just thought it would be fun and informative (?) if we took an informal poll of the vB admins here to see what age brackets most of us fall into. Vote if you care to (how you voted won't be public) and let's see how things shake out.

    Please only participate if you run or assist in the operation of a vBulletin forum.

    Edit: I'm 32 not that anyone cares.

                It would be interesting to see how many people who are older run the board as a business compared to how many younger folks run it as a hobby.

                -if that makes any sense.

                        You need to specify: Typical age for a SUCCESSFUL vb that deals with traffic, paypal, advertising, etc...

                        or just some random kid's gaming forum?

                            Welcome to our newest member, PlayGame


                            Note the userid on `PlayGame` is much higher than the member count because I used to delete all 0-posters.

                            //Edit: member count is lower now because I pruned a small handful of other 0-posters.
