Which decade has the most Civfanatics?

[Hakan-i Cihan]

Some lingering memories from my misty childhood about building pyramids, or hunting mammoths...

No, seriously, I was born in 1976.

BC, right?

We might not be able to plot the evolution of audience decade over time but at least we have a real Gaussian distribution , it's nice when natures answers to order

There should really be a new thread every few years instead of adding new votes to an old poll. Then you could compare the distribution between different polls.

It's time for GenZ and the other laggards to record their decade!

Total votes as of this post: 6,044

My 13yo son doesn't have an account here (afaIk). But he would count as a 2010s player.

 

[The_J]

I think with 13 he'd be legal to be here, no?

 

[Birdjaguar]

Yes.

 

[Eagle Pursuit]

Alas, 13 year olds do the internet differently.

We need to get the last category to 4 votes!

To be frank my peers from late 1990s could in later days look at this forum format as old-school (which I presume is the case here). It must be even worse for later kids. Though I like it precisely because of nostalgia of early forums.

It is not TikTok or Instagram. Social Media is evolving.

My kid is very YouTube-oriented, to my horror

Me too. And I can't stand the god awful branching threads of Reddit, assuming that's still a thing over there. I started my first forum with Alpha owo forums for the game SMAC, and migrated to Apolyton and to here. This is my primary place I leave comments, though occasionally I might make a youtube comment on a civ related video, but this is a better place for information.

but this is a better place for information.

And rampant speculation...

Glad my vote hits the average. How's everyone's back holding up?

The absence of 2000s in this poll is depressing to me, I utterly despise reddit and social media in general as they don't simulate normal conversation. They are some eldritch corporate abominations of short attention spans, visual imagery, tribalist sectarian warfare, demagoguery, exhibitionist narcissism (look at me!!!), flashes of rapid talking in 24 hour cycles (nobody goes back to old threads) - everything other than the old format of proposing a topic of conversation and people joining it and just talking for weeks.

As someone born in the aughts, I do try to avoid most social media as much as possible. It all feels just a bit soulless.

You guys know there are huge swathes of 2000s and later fans, but they just don't use forums?
They're on Discord and such. I think this poll is kind of inaccurate.

I mean forums are going out of style (went of style?) I'm just happy to have a spot to share my opinion.

The poll is about the age distribution of people on this website, hence the term Civfanatics and not something like "fans of the Civilization video game franchise"

I was born September 21st 2004, after the first post on this section of Civforums

I felt old when this thread started, and the intervening years (and increasing skewing of the poll even further away from my own decade) haven’t helped!
