Has the average age of a 4chan's userbase gone up or down over time?
What about for individual boards?
I once heard a very compelling assessment that, while the number of underageb&s coming here to post has never gone down, the average age has gone up due to oldfags growing up and continuing to post here. I.e., there are more adults on 4chan now than there were 8-10 years ago.

Our population keeps exploding exponentially though. Millenials outnumber baby boomers now. I don't think the oldfags who stay can compete with the newfags who join. I believe it's safe to say that blue boards maintain an older userbase than red boards though.

its gone down. a lot of teens have shown up and essentially ruined what it once was

Older people are lured here from 10 years of wildly variable media coverage.

One thing sure is consistent about media. If it has to do with computers and they don't understand it, they call it "hacking."

Teenager alert. 4chan's average age was what, 17? In 2004?

That definition of hacking is actually pretty good. "It involves computers and I don't understand it." Sure, there's probably a more precise word to use, but "hacking" means programming, "hacking" means social engineering, and much much more.

Plus have people like him seen screenshots of "what it once was"? 4chan used to be a bunch of people yelling EPIC WIN and nigra and whatever else.

iirc there were polls done a couple years ago that showed /pol/ having the highest average age, can't remember the rest though

I work with people who genuinely think that ctrl+alt+arrowdown is "hacking."
