Re: everyone here are such old people
I'll be 11 the day after tomorrow, and that certainly isn't too old, unless you're about 6 (which I doubt).
I guess though that only people posting in here are people who don't consider themselves too old. Still, according to "Scratch Stats" (see Chrischb's link), the vast majority of users are under 25.

The mode on there is fourteen years old... I feel average xD I wonder why there are more 14-year-olds?

Only older kids/teens can program with a degree of accuracy and skill. I doubt an 8 year-old would stick around on Scratch for long.

Yes.
Well if you wanted honesty, that's all you had to say. I never want to let you down or have you go, it's better off this way.

Huh, not only are most users around 14 years of age, we have unusual peaks at 21 and 31... I wonder what's the cause of the peaks at 21 and 31.

Yes.
And younger kids (ages 5-10) usually find out about Scratch from older siblings, and tend to get bored quickly. Older kids will have the patience to sign up and work for 'fame'. In contrast, older people may see programming as complex or 'too modern', and even if they download Scratch, they might not join as a member, as they might find us kids scary.

Eh, I doubt that. If it was a mid-life crisis issue, those peaks wouldn't be so sharp at those ages.

Maybe people...
a) Looking for job opportunities in programming
b) Got too much time on their hands
I don't really know...

Then there's a lot of 21 and 31 year olds who are looking for job ops or who have too much time on their hands.

Re: everyone here are such old people
That would explain why you're 87 years old.

Re: everyone here are such old people
I can tell from your edumacated spelling and grammar that you are a ripe old age of 2-6.
I will not give an age for worry of Scratch creepers...
