Forums and Age Groups?

[Katrina]

Which is the biggest age group of current forum owners? How about ages of members?

I'm in my early 30's as an owner. As for my members, I don't really look into the specifics, since we run a family-friendly community, people of all (legal) ages can join.

I definitely feel like most people who use and own forums are at least in their late 20's. Though I have seen a few younger people join forums recently, but it's probably a "hipster" thing to do since most people in their age group use Discord more.

I'm 34, and all my forums members are over the age of 18 or they can't play poker, legally. Lol

I'm 65 and most of the more active members on all my forums are middle aged and above.

I feel like most people I see on forums these days are in at least their mid to late 20s. I feel like anyone younger than that is a rarity, but I think it also depends on the genre of the site too.

This looks like the correct stats as I fall under the category. It is something that one can say, also considering my experience of interacting with some of the members on different forums.

I'm 49 and have run forums for 25+ years. I have members of various ages. Some in their 20's, some over 60. No real pattern!

Based on general trends in online communities and entrepreneurship, forum ownership may likely be dominated by individuals in their 30s to 50s. This age range often has the financial resources, technical skills, and interest to establish and maintain online communities. Entrepreneurs in their 40s and 50s, in particular, have been found to have a higher likelihood of business success, which could translate to the online world of forums.

I do not know the age groups in my community but I believe it is between 30 and 50.
