As a random whimsy so I didn't go insane with the orders tonight during the start of the Olympics I decided to pull myself a chart of age statistics of the VFUR, based upon the Birthdays posted on the calendar
Total entries: 230
Average Age: 24.24 (...I'm apparently the average furry age of VFUR to the *day*)
Most Common Age: 20
Youngest Age: 16
Oldest Age: 50
Month with the Least Birthdays: Jan/March (tie)
Month with the most birthdays: October
If there's any other statistics anybody wants to see let me know :)
Alot of Oct birthdays
Male/Female ratio
Now I feel decidedly average as well.. :p

Its interesting to see that your final figure was not that far off from my figure in the 22 year range. My statistical analysis was done using a list much smaller, (therefore not as accurate. Whenever doing anything where statistics like this are presented it is more accurate to go with smaller increments.) good that you did something more involved even if you were swamped with Olympic based traffic.
As far as another statistical analysis is concerned - It would be interesting to know how many posts are made for each day of the week, which days average out to be the busiest to the least active. Same for each month of the year if at all possible.. ( I am aware that this would require a lot of work and wouldn't expect anyone to really do this, just an interesting thought! )
*mutters and goes to get his cane*
Gender separated statistics are in progress. and my spreadsheet is getting far bigger - not to mention new data input into the, as well as errors in my previous data entry that were spotted recently.
At a hazarded guess, since I haven't finished my statistical analyses on the data yet, the male female ratio is a little over 4:1. not nearly as bad as most critics say.
This is what happens when you try and build databases during crazy work shifts. You make lots and lots of entry errors amongst others. X.x;
So I've redesigned my database for triple layered redundancy to catch the errors, and also factored in gender itno it. I now present you the new, more detailed and corrected statistics:
Total entries: 249
Average Age: 24.26
Most Common Age: 22
Youngest Age: 14
Oldest Age: 50
Month with the Least Birthdays: Jan/April (tie)
Month with the most birthdays: October
Female entries: 46
Average Age: 22.52
Most Common Age: 22
Youngest Age: 16
Oldest Age: 35
Month with the Least Birthdays: Nov
Month with the most birthdays: October
Male entries: 198
Average Age: 24.55
Most Common Age: 22
Youngest Age: 14
Oldest Age: 50
Month with the Least Birthdays: Jan
Month with the most birthdays: October
And if any of you guys are keeping track and realized the number of male and female entries don't add up to the total; that'd be because there 5 entries which didn't specify a gender in the calendar.
And since M/F ratio was asked: 46/198 is 18.85% or approaching a 4:1 M/F ratio. I'd say that's utterly incredible for furry as a whole.

Very cool
it's neat to see how all the stats add up!
October represent? XD
Man, all of our parents must have been poor and looking for other ways to keep warm in the wintertime... <.<;;
LOL
really cool drake
but can you calculate the drama?
Interesting statistics. I'm guessing you do this on the side when you have nothing to do?

I'd say the drama levels are over nine thousand.
You had to go there, Mikau LOL
Well you can't stop drama. When I was very involved with Anime Evolution and it's forums, drama was everywhere. And to see it here too is no different. As long as the drama doesn't involve me, I am willing to stick around this part of the internet, and the community. I didn't get involved with AE's drama, but it was getting a little too much.
Another statistic that would be cool, would be average amount of posts per user?

Went there, took the tour, bought the t-shirt and sent us postcards :P

I'm actually less keen to deal with this, because a vast majority of this information can be obtained by the sever admins looking through the control panel. Although I admit to not having utilized this particular piece of forum software, preferring to stick to PHPBB myself.
In fact actually a fair amount of statistics about the forum can be obtained just by looking at the "More Stats" option at the bottom of the page. The rest is simple math, to which it would come to Total Posts/Total users (15963/415)
38.46 posts/user

A cane is not directly representative of your age.
When I was in an elevator accident, I had to use a cane for about a year after I was out of the wheechair, and off the crutches.
I was 15. :P
Nah I think you're an old man trapped in a young body. DON'T DENY IT! And hey, can't complain with those senior discounts XD

By the time you're eligible for those, you're well past over the hill and reminiscing on the glory days. ::)
Maybe I should get some grey fur die (old man skin) and see if I can get senior discounts. I still have some of the cane habits...
Or just show medical knowledge and we can call you Doc House :P
Oh kewl. I'm not the youngest anymore x3
it says the youngest is 16 but I'm only 15, and the first time on these boards I was 14. oh wait, is this based on those who showed up for the last meet?

As stated in the first post the statistics are based entirely off of the forum calendar. You turn 16 this year, which makes you officially the youngest, and you get listed as 16 in the data table.
Edit: Nevermind, you only joined AFTER this topic had started. So you're not included
OH! yeah oops, i didn't take that into account my bad :-[
I'd be curious about species ratio myself.
