I came across those stats, yes, and was wondering how relevant would they be to so-called retrogaming communities. I think in terms of age repartition /vr/ seems quite similar to general all encompassing stats about gaming in general. But gender wise it's very different, at least here, so far. I was expecting /vr/ to be more male, but not in such large proportion. But as I said, could it be also this particular type of gaming? It's funny though because I remember as a kid that when the coleco came out, we were all playing in my classroom, boy and girls.

Yes, you're completely right, but that's why I was more interested to ask here rather than on pcenginefx, nintendoage, chipmusic, nesdev, etc. That said I do not know which source would be the most representative, these venerable forums are also so much linked to a previous net culture, I do not know if people, say in their 20s, would go there as much as those who grew up with these kind of Internet forums. It's also a completely different mode of address. Myself I do not know behave the same depending on the board/platform.
