Ta-metru_defender Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 people are so old wasn't the average user age something like 14 back in 2009? that's probably not true at allIt 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.

Toa Imrukii Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 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......

Sappholopod Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 23, not really surprised at where people coalesce on the age range here. You might feel old, but it's fine. You grow up, age for a bit, then get old and die. Nothing is permanent. Everything is transient. Might as well buy some frigging toys. =) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

25K Now! Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 17. Not surprised by the age range, to be honest. Late teens to mid-twenties used to fit in the main demographic when BIONICLE was at its height, and would have been old enough to know how to use a computer as well.

The Hip Historian Iaredios Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 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. 3 Quote A RUDE AWAKENING - A Spherus Magna redo | Tzais-Kuluu | Pushing Back The Tide | Last Words | Black Coronation | Blue Man Bound | Visions of Thasos ن We are all but grey specks in a dark complex before a single white light Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danny316p Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
