I'm curious about the current age demographics of MennoNet participants.
Please indicate in the poll your age as of December 2019.
Feel free to discuss how your age, or the age of fellow MNers affects our conversations and perspectives. For those who've been around a while, how do you think these age demographics have changed since the days of MennoDiscuss.

Re: POLL: Ages of MennoNet Participants
Definitely an older demographic. I think Hans was 16 when he started MD, and a number of teens and lower 20s folks were here. I don't think most of them stuck around.Dan Z wrote:I'm curious about the current age demographics of MennoNet participants.
Please indicate in the poll your age as of December 2010.

It will be interesting to see how it shakes out, but I get the same sense.mike wrote:Definitely an older demographic.

I originally came to MennoDiscuss about 12+ years ago because of my work in Anabaptist education - to stay connect to what conservative-leaning Mennonite young people were thinking. Zanga and personal bogging were giving way to social media at that point. On MennoDiscuss there seemed to be two main groups - a larger group of young people in their teens and twenties like our founder, and then a smaller cluster of middle-aged folks like me looking for a thoughtful outlet to discuss our faith and be challenged...and for course a few in between like you Mike.

Not sure if I can handle that much math before noon, though I like the idea of feeling a bit younger.Dan Z wrote:I'm curious about the current age demographics of MennoNet participants.

It will be interesting to compare to the previous poll; there have been some new members since then, as well as a few no longer with us.

Re: POLL: Ages of MennoNet Participants
Oops - fixed that date - thanks for the heads up. I would have been in a different age bracket in 2010.ohio jones wrote:Not sure if I can handle that much math before noon, though I like the idea of feeling a bit younger.Dan Z wrote:I'm curious about the current age demographics of MennoNet participants.

I had forgotten about that other poll from 2 years ago. Yes, lets see how the demographics have changed.

Re: POLL: Age of MennoNet Users
I’m not sure exactly when I started on MD, I think it was 2003 or 2004 when I briefly lived in Los Angeles. I would have been in my mid-20’s at that point. Now I’m 40

Re: POLL: Age of MennoNet Users
I signed up on MD in November of 2005 if I remember correctly. I was 29 years old at the time. There were a bunch of folks in their 20's and 30's on MD at that time. I guess we have all aged together and are now in our 40's and early 50's. It is amazing how time flies.
