Just to point out, while these polls are interesting, they do not necessarily reflect true statistics of the playerbase. Note that very few players are actually a part of these forums and the number of respondents on these polls is a fraction of the forum members. So what you are polling are players who happen to choose to use these forums who like responding to polls.
For example, regarding the poll on player ages, I know the median age is actually in the mid 20's though 25% of the playerbase being under 18 may be somewhat correct (though even that is a bit high). Perhaps this means that the majority older players prefer to keep a lower profile by not using forums and/or not answering polls.
Anyway, just thought to throw some perspective on forum polls.

Yeah, I suspect it's us younger ones with less work to do and stuff that tend to hang around forums a lot. Although Daganev is the exception to that rule, I think Also, us young people are a lot more vocal and arrogant and stuff that old people like to say to make themselves feel better.
