[RESULTS 1 POST] How old are you + BGE users count? Please, BGE users only!

Please vote for age, also total amount of people voted means amount of active registered BGE users!

Perhaps, it is not the most proper place to put this poll, but I think this is an interesting question: HOW OLD ARE BGE USERS?

ACTIVE BGE USERS: 112
AVERAGE AGE: 22.3 years
DISPERSION: 8.5 years

IT MEANS:

60% of active BGE users here are between 14 and 31 years old
90% of active BGE users here are between 5 and 39 year old

With some “magic” I fitter Maxwell destribution to the statistics. It is different from what the poll shows, because you need to normalise with each interval size. For instance for 13-17 group it is 5, for 18-24 it is 7, etc

Nice diversity in ages there.

3

indeed, almost a perfect bell curve.

4

It’s funny, for a while age polls were posted so frequently that we had to make a rule against them. This is the first one I’ve seen for a long time, so I will let it live.

I decided to bump for the last time, so perhaps we can get like 100 people for proper statistics. After that I will process results in matlab and how here

@PlantPerson
I have been monitoring the forum for like 9 months regularly, I saw no such thread.

@cybor_ar

to me the curve looks like Maxwell, its skewness is not zero like in normal destribution.

6

Maybe more like a Poisson distribution? There seems to be a long tail…

More detail is definately becoming clear as more people respond. Very interesting and none-frivolous poll for a change. :wink:

Even those who got tired of the age polls before might find it interesting to see the BGE demographics after such a massive and ongoing improvement in the engine.

could be interesting how low we’ve using blender, I’ve started since 2.21, and at first, it was a mess, a lot of buttons and no idea what was every button for :smiley: I was around 15, or 16, now I’m 23

8

Interesting poll! Especially when thinking of the recent “war-thread”. I’m 21.

9

nice idea but I’d have liked to break up the 13-24 category a bit more. 13yo is very different to 17yo

I’m 21 on Wednesday

10

I’m 13. Turning 14 next year. Fun poll!

11

Yeah you should have split the 13-17 area up but very interesting.

12

I admit I did mistake with intervals, but it is not that important. I will do interpolation and present a graph later.

P.S. I am wondering there are only like 100-200 registered BGE users here? BA is like 50k. Wierd. I expected more

13

Not everyone is still active. There is definatley not 50k users active on this forum.

14

i turn 15 tomorrow and i’ve been using Blender and the BGE for two years… holy crap, that’s a long time.

15

thanks to me, 18-24 triumphs again! Anyone thankful can thank me :eyebrowlift2:

16

im 14 in a week, go me!

ACTIVE BGE USERS: 112
AVERAGE AGE: 22.3 years
DISPERSION: 8.5 years

IT MEANS:

60% of active BGE users here (majority) are between 14 and 31 years old
90% of active BGE users here are between 5 and 39 year old
