I'm 17, but to tell you the truth, the age really has no bearing on what type of contributions a person can make to this forum. As long as the person has the interest in computing, and is willing to learn and to help others, that's really all that is needed. If somebody gives good advice, I don't care how old they are.

Cool

I'm so much older than your last age listed it isn't worth voting.

I'm 15 but I am happy that there are a lot of different ages here as the older members usually have more experience and can help out with the most confusing problems and the younger are giving advice and are usually in the same position as you and it is interesting to hear their views on certain things.

Take the oldest age in the poll, and double it, then subtract 10.

Well I am 33 but like bigandy said age alone isn't the telling factor on knowledge. There are alot here who are much younger that know much more than I do. The one thing age does do is generally round out a person's life experiences and put a different perspective on them.

I'll be 40 on Aug 28. I think you poll should have spread out the ages a little bit more to better represent the ages of people here a little bit better.

i'm 15 at the moment. I agree that age doesn't really matter in this forum. Although i will say this a lot of teenagers especially younger ones are some of the worst kids. I don't know why they just seem to think they are better than everyone else. however i don't see any of thoose people at this forum, but at others. Everybody here at pcmech are very nice. And i'm not bad mouthing teenagers as I am one, however with the people i run into it seems that most of the time annoying on purpouse/mean people are teens.
