Average gaming hours/week seems really low to me.

That means on average people play about 2.5 hours per day. I thought it would be at least 3, closer to 4-5.

I like how only 86% of people own a computer. The rest must be posting from the library.

6% women? Really?

I didn't expect it to match the overall divide between gameplayers in general, but that's quite the imbalance.

Based on the server logs for my signature and avatar, I'd put it closer to 10% of the users here surf the forums from a Mac. And I use a Mac and visit threads I've posted in a disproportionate amount.

If the average age were lower I would blame it on people living with their parents and counting it from that, but as it is I dunno. I suppose druhim's age probably puts the average by about 10 years though.
