We had 2650-2900 responses, depending on whether they finished the survey or not.

Graphs:

Well, yeah.

I think the spike at age 25 is an error. It's possible that people over the age of 25 chose to answer that they were 25 because they did not know there was a 2nd age poll. If you compare the number of responses to the gender poll to the number of responses to the age polls, this theory becomes more likely.

You can vote in polls without an account.

I wonder what the "other" respondents identify as.

It's unreal to me that most people on TL aren't from the USA.

60%! But far less than 60% of respondents indicated that they'd never spent money on eSports stuff. Money doesn't equal contribution?

A little over a third of respondents adblock TL's ads.

Here are some of the "other" responses: + Show Spoiler +

Welcome to the 2013 edition of the TL Census! I was apparently too lazy to make a thread all last year, but that's all in the past now. After about a week, I'll take the data from these polls and make some fancy graphs.

Woohoo! Any chance that the OP could link the previous years' polls to compare? I know we've talked about ages and ethnicities at the very least!

Regarding the final esports question. Technically buying the game or going to blizzard or gaming events are esports related so pretty much everyone who has gone to blizzcon, or bought the game would answer yes. Also, I have gone to MLGs and stuff where I didn't pay so what does that count as?
