So I was thinking... what's the average age of the community
Don't post if you feel like your age might undermind how people look at you, but I'm interested in finding out how old most of the people here actually are.
Personally, I'm 17 and still in Highschool, but I'm assuming everyone else is in ther mid 20's perhaps?
I'll add a general poll for the people who don't want to post directly.

You just keep on trying till you run out of cake!?

This is, uh, interesting. I really thought some of you creative geniuses had a few years on me.

Its a serious statement about the Portal gaming community when you dont even CONSIDER in your poll that gamers can be older than 30. . .I knew mos t of you were young, but REALLY. . . . 
I am 45+ folks (no sense in keeping track after that). Yes, people really DO still play games later in life; we dont just sit around and wait to die. . .as a professional software developer who always liked to play (and sometimes wrote) games on computers, this is my recreation.
The HL series of games for some reason has an extremely young fanbase; on some of the role-playing forums I frequent, there are plenty of us old folks around. Not here though. . .
Me too. Must be a popular age.
