people are so old

 

wasn't the average user age something like 14 back in 2009?

 

that's probably not true at all

It wouldn't surprise me if the average age here is older than it used to be. Back when a lot of us old timers joined BZPower, dedicated forums like BZP were some of the only places to come together with fellow LEGO fans. But today social media like Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Flickr, and YouTube are a lot more prominent, and allow people to discuss not just LEGO, but also whatever other interests teenagers might have.

 

Also someone who was 14 in '09 would be 21 now so there's that too.

Yeah, of course. I'm just explaining why there aren't more young folks joining to balance out the active members who continue to get older.

I'm 17 with 11 years experience.

I'm 17 with 300 years of experience. I would bicker and say I'm better, but that would just be selffish and wrong. I'm not one to toot my own horn.

 

Somethings to live off from this though, always be Patient, always be Kind, always be Couragious, be yourself, and treat others how you want to be treated, if you dislike who you are than others will need to see this and help you. Not everything should be applied to your shoulders. Just look at me, I poke fun at myself and others almost always, but I don't mean anything by it. The two People I admire to, you can see in my Profile Pic, and yet even then I represented them in a joking manor, if you can't laugh at yourself, what can you laugh at? Just don't be a jerk.

 

 

Aaaaand, here I go again, preaching......

Being a history guy and going off the topic title, i thought this was going to attempt to romanticize BZPower's height, drawing lines like to some golden, ancient empire past it's prime, and make a speech to rally forth the members in an attempt to go on a holy mission to draw in more members and 'make BZPower great again' in the name of Hapori. My epic dreams were instantly shattered, thanks.

 

I'm 20, so I checked the appropriate box.

I'm 17, soon to be 18. I've had this account since March 1st, 2014. So I was 15 when I started here. (My birthday is July 14th 1998, for referrence.)

Wait, somethings wrong here.

 

I was young when I joined the site and now I'm old.

 

I'm a little too dense to figure out when I'll have been on here for half my life. :v

 

If someone who can math good can figure that out for me then that would be swell.

 

You would still have about 9 years to go until you've been a member of BZPower for half your life.

I'm 29, and usually the oldest person in the room when hanging out with BZPower peeps (I've occasionally met older BZPower members, but these elders tell me not to speak of them).

 

...and even if BZP skews older than it used to, it's still pretty darn young. Last time I went to an event BZP wasn't exhibiting at, the average age of AFOLs exhibiting was at least 20 years higher, with me being the youngest person in the room (perhaps by a ten year margin).

 

It's also been my experience that the youthfulness of BZPower can intimidate older builders, even if they are already interested in Bionicle or constraction at some level.

I'm currently 16. I registered this account 2 years ago with all the hype about the BIONICLE reboot; but I did have an account made in 2011 for about a week before I left. I forgot the password for my old one, so now I use this one.

 

I first got into BIONICLE on November 5, 2006. My first sera were Inika Jaller and Hewkii, which I got from my grandparents for my birthday.

Whoa, I signed up when I was nine. I'm 22 now, so I guess I've been on here for over half my life.

 

I just spent an hour or so browsing through old threads on the Wayback Machine, and it's clear that the average age has increased dramatically over the years. As evidence, I submit this thread that was the #1 hot topic one summer day in mid-2003: https://web.archive.org/web/20030801102503/http://bzpower.com/forum/index.php?act=ST&f=30&t=74636&st=0

Good grief. I remember how long it took me to get used to the minimalist art design of the rebooted forums, but looking at that link you posted, the old forums were an absolute EYESORE. Was there any real need for the post divider line to be that particular shade of maroon?

I have slept for so long. My dreams have been dark ones. But now I am awakened. Now the scattered elements of my being are rejoined. Now I am whole. And the Darkness can not stand before me.

The bright colors are quite cheerful, though.

25 here. I'm actually super impressed to see a fair amount of < 20s. Curious what it'd be like to drop into Bionicle in the second-half of the lore.
