Straighten out SixApart's statistics meme

altivoSixApart has characterized Livejournal as a "community of 18-24 year olds" and we know that's way oversimplified. However, it seems that many older users have not put in their birth year. Help correct this, and let Myspace claim the teenagers.
Go to the profile page and specify your full date of birth, including your year of birth. If you don't want everyone to see how old you are, make sure the box that says "show your birthday to other users" is unchecked. The important thing is to get yourself into the database. Then tell your friends about it, and ask them to do it too.
I suspect that the mode does fall somewhere in the low twenties, but the mean age of LJ users will be higher, perhaps even closer to 30, and the median higher still.
