The age poll, part the second.  The groupings are somewhat arbitrary, although they may reveal something about my expectations.  Or not.

I didn't know "26-35" was a target market, but okay.  I'll be grouped with folks in their mid-20s. ;)

Technically, I'm none of the above, but I answered assuming, y'know, that "under 20" meant "20 and under."

Cut me some slack...I'm sick.

EDIT: And apparently that makes me bitchy.  Apologies.

Well, like I said, the groupings were arbitrary, but frankly I expected more young 20-somethings, so I broke it up that way.  Looks like I am, in fact, out of touch.

hmm, should have voted on this half of the poll first!

i guess a lot of people are immature on the internet, or i just haven't been paying attention very well.

Because I have nothing better to do on my day off, here are the similar polls that were on the Wigu messageboard. I think you have to be registered there to see the results.  The short answer about the comparison:  Old Codgers Prefer Achewood.

Yes, I guess I should add my mom to the list, if we're counting Achewood readers, and not just Achewood Forum readers. She'd tip the demographic slightly, and is currently the oldest person I know who reads it.
Unless Onstad's gran did keep reading.
Not that I know her.
That would be odd.

Oh and just regarding the topic title...

He's number 5.

And I though the main target demo for advertisers was men 18–35 so the poll isn't that far off.

Well, yes, but Nabubrush isn't around, so I have to glare at somebody and demand espionage secrets, right?

Just a second, I'm gonna go get my mind-rape machines. Be back short-like.
