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.
This is, uh, interesting. I really thought some of you creative geniuses had a few years on me.
Looks at custom title and nods

Don't say that! I'm 22 aswell 
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.

The only way I could fit into that category is if it's okay to count the years in hexadecimal?

I had the same reaction! I'm 30, by the way.
The poll setup is funny. Covers the teens with four age brackets, then just one bracket for 21-30, and nothing above that. That very much reflects a "young" attitude toward age. When you're a teenager, the difference between 16 and 18 seems huge. But once you're a bit older (say 26+), the distinctions that seem meaningful change.
I pretty much make no distinction among the teens anymore except middle school/high school/college. And after college, age tends to matter even less, so the categories get broader, and you just kind of break it down by decade.
Since there seem to be a few other topics floating around in this thread:
I'm a Network Administrator / IT Consultant by day and Music Producer by night.
I try not to separate people into age groups...just tolerable and stupid.

Too many reruns of Logan's Run?
