What decade were you born in?
Guest:
When I joined this forum, I expected it to be filled with a bunch of Millennials and Gen Xers nostalgic for their childhood and teenage years. But as I read through your introductions, there seem to be a lot more younger people who are here to appreciate the Web 1.0 era they missed out on the first time around.
So I'm just curious how the demographic actually skews. It'd be funny to find out that I'm one of the oldest people here, but I'm sure some of you must be those cool Gen X kids that I always wished I was. I weighted the poll toward the younger generations, so if you're a Baby Boomer please speak up.
I was born in '87, making me a mid-range millennial. I grew up in the '90s but get to pretend I have a claim to the '80s.

i was born in the late 90s, and i spent my childhood browsing random stuff on the web and hanging out on forums and in IRC chatrooms. i missed out on the personal site heyday of the late 90s, but i still got to experience the tail end of the personal web, and the desire to be a part of it never left me. i remember making terrible websites using microsoft word 2000 (!!!) and later real HTML after i found one of those teach-yourself-HTML4 books at the local library.

I was born in 2001, making me 21 at the time of writing this. :pc:
I fortunately grew up just as the old web was making its exit, so I caught a glimpse of it here and there in my childhood. I spent most of my formative years no-lifing on forums. But that was when forums were already dying.

Excuse me this poll is discriminating against kids like me who were born in the 2020s :ziped:
That said, I think its really important for a community like this to have a mix of young and old; I hope there is a forum granny out there as well as forum tweens; it's important to break that bubble that groups that are too similar create.

I was born in 2000s. I believe I witnessed the tail end of web 1.0.
I don't like how boring and sterile the web is nowadays. I like browsing the Yesterweb as pretty muvh you encounter as a soul.
I don't think I was ever exposed to things like Geocities or MySpace, but now I see why people missed platforms like these.
