Discussion of Demographics of Forum Members

[redeyesblackpanda]

The text below is just included for historical purposes. We are NOT collecting any more data. This thread is now for the discussion of the date we have already collected. Thanks for everyone who contributed their information while we were counting!

I've been on these boards a couple of days, but I've noticed a lot of things that surprise me.
There seem to be a lot more women than men and there seem to be a great deal of people from places where English is not the native language.
I figured I'd take some sort of a poll.
I don't know how to add one to this, so I guess I'll do it the old fashioned way... counting!
I'll start off...
Gender: M
Country: United States
Primary language: English

Note: Results will continue to be counted until 1/8/12, which means that they won't be counted past that. If you want it to count, then, you should probably do it now. ^_^

Alright, here are the results that are being discussed:

Alright, the count is accurate up to here (hopefully).
I counted more than 1 language for posters if they said they were proficient in more than 1.
I didn't count things like how I can speak Chinese, but can barely read or write it, because I don't think that qualifies as Primary.
