Subject: Year of Birth Census

Written By: fredrickthe94guy on 02/15/11 at 3:00 am

I'm not sure if anyone has done such census but i guess this would be the updated version kind of census if it has been done ;) so yeah

i wonder what the major bulk age of this forum member is  :P

ok maybe this is thread version would only run in this decade as most of people born after 2005 are too young to join the forum as of 2011  ;)

so when were you born?

Subject: Re: Year of Birth Census

Written By: joeman on 02/15/11 at 6:46 am

85 here.  I give 2005 born kids at least until 2017 to be able to join the forums, but it would be wierd at first talking to someone from a different generation(20 year difference).

LOL at the post 2005 option, and I thought I was online at a young age.  :o I don't think we have any members born in the 21st century yet, though I may be mistaken? I'm sure there will be some within the next few years as they become teenagers. I remember we had a 9-10 year old member around 2005. I was born in 1987 and I've been here since 2004 originally. I was almost 17 then and almost 24 now.

Not all of us who were there were totally wacked out.  There was more to the 60's than sex, drugs, and rock and roll (although that stuff was lots of fun), like the civil right movement, and who can forget Vietnam?  So those of you who weren't there need to  be a bit more circumspect

That was kind of cool, except it seemed to be aimed at the younger generation (or just at a dumber generation, I don't know) when telling me things like Google wasn't invented yet.  Um, duh?  It was 42 years ago, of course there was no Google.  Plus it went into great detail about reading actual books on paper then showed a picture of the best selling "book" of 1971....the picture was of the audio book.

I was also there. It's very superficial TBH. I noticed that after I have tried the "2009"-birthyear:

"In 2009, the world was a different place."  ::)

It's also a bit slow and only lists some very general facts.

they do have interesting culture development back then and between 50s-80s are when the baby boomers culture reign,it was an exciting time to be alive

but personally I am a semi modern kind of person :p I wish I was a child or teenager in the 1990s... i was a child in very lte 1990s and early 2000s... there was the second wave of change since the baby boomer culture revolution in the 1990s thanks to rapid globalisation


I was born in 1946, part of the baby boomer generation.  I'm still alive, thank you, and our "cultural revolution" was in the 1960's.  You young whipper snappers don't know diddly squat

75 - 79.  A good t ime to be born 8)


I'm there in that bracket too, Jason. 1979.

I love the idea of being a complete 1980s kid which I believe lies between 1980-1989 though I was born in 1979 and, because I was breast-fed for a short time and then bottle-fed afterwards, I am technically a 1970s child...

*ducks for cover*
