I just did some research on this topic. Age data polling is pretty common and there are some generally agreed on thoughts on the matter. FWIW this would be a more typical poll range.
Under 18 (we might choose to exclude this one due to the subject matter)
18-24
25-34
35-44
45-54
55-64
65-74
75+
One item I read said that the ultimate age poll asks for the person to input their year of birth but at least to me it seems like too much data for this site to handle.
A suggestion if you guys agree. Have Dee close this thread and open a new age poll with the age ranges listed above. Also since the newcomers section gets the most traffic maybe put it there... Or maybe we do one poll in the Alcoholism section and one in the Substance Abuse section? Or maybe I'm just overthinking this whole thing and we should do nothing?
