I cant help but wonder what the average age is of POTC players

[Maximvs]

Moved on? I'm not moving anywhere... we adults were here first!

(thats a play-on-words from Tobias' post... aww forget it - young people these days just dont get it LOL )

Ok, for my current guess - on POTCO, probably 13-19 average age - on FOF here - I'm thinking 21-35 average age... I find older people will post more confidently and often.

Thats my guesses for today

Not all of the top posters are older people.

Unlike the younger folks, older people do not aspire to be top posters.

It amazes me how people apply so much importance to post count.

I can tell you exactly what it means in a single word ZERO!

However, if one were to count the actual words/content, and subtract use of smilies and odd sized text, the older posters would sail past the younger set by a mile.

You mean there is not an award for highest post count?

You mean that a higher post count does not equate to a higher "status"?

You mean I don't get the gold Rolex for retiring with the highest post count?

OK.

OK.

Hey im sure someone will point out the nifty little "ribbon/award" graphic next to my name that is something regarding post count/activity etc. (Not even sure how/why I got it)

I had people pointing it out to me generally before I even realized it was there. Bears no significance to me, other than perhaps I need to go outside more. LOL

However... its alright, I dont mind those working on posting counts if they aspire to be at the top O a list. (as long as they make thier posts worthwhile)

Ok I want you to read that again s-l-o-w-l-y.... I didn't say older people are top posters (in fact the top posters are in most cases count runners - who I love to look for and delete their 'I agree LOL' and 'I think that too' posts...) - its Spam - and against POF Rules and Guidelines...

I've topped the count 100% several times to drop again a week later... simply put if there are several interesting discussions going on I'll post along with them - otherwise if its just a week of 'LOL got ya!' - 'hahaha got ya back' then I just review for infraction and move on... do I ever wonder about the ribbon? Will it get me lots of money? Fame? Maybe a cookie? The answer to all of these is... NOPE.

Like Zep said - if ya want to be the top poster - get there with some REAL information - not flooding every post with 'blah blah blah'

---

As my prediction - my count still stands - POTCO players are a bit younger age level then the posters of POF (In my .02 worth )
