no, but I was aware that it might be a concern that’s why I wasn;t sure if it was ok to post it. I do see a median age of mid / late 40s and up. Avg age is probably 50+ just going by this thread so far. Male to female ratio might be 3.5:1 by guestimation.

The thing is that, if you've been here long enough (and you have), you notice the patterns.

Early Freepers (1998-2000) passing away, and obits with many grandchildren. Many early Freepers were seniors.

Over time, the average age came down, but it's probably still higher than most other sites.

The focus on conservatism draws an older crowd. The high standards of online debate at this site have a natural attrition against the younger generation.
