So, just curious about approaches to new internet communities and if they correlate at all to age/generation attitudes and mindsets.

I would be surprised if there was anybody on the Shard who is part of the Silent Generation or earlier, although it is possible to put your birthdate as early as 1875 on your profile, which would put you in the... Missionary Generation I believe? I guess the 17th Shard is prepared in case Ethel Caterham joins (although she is a member of the Greatest Generation).

The picture was just a reference from WIkipedia - the poll only went to Boomer, because I expect that would be around the cap.
