Just thought it'd be interesting to see if we have more "kids" (why do people still call us that.. grrr) or adults on MiBo.

Because age is one way to group people together.
Actual age is one thing that becomes much less important as you get older. There's a huge difference between 12 & 13. Also between 17 & 18. But not-so-much between say 41 and 49.
I suspect the people in this forum under the age of 18 are very "old" for their age. (computer savvy and interested in robotics) While the adults could be considered "child-like" because of their interest in LEGO.

Why don't you add another
separate poll asking specifically:
- under 10
- 10 to 12
- 13 to 14 <-- Sorry 12.1 year olds!
- 15 to 17
- 18+
floor() your age.

sqrt() your age before floor()!
- from sqrt(1) up to sqrt(9) (exclusive) -> under 3
- from sqrt(9) up to sqrt(16) (exclusive) -> 4
- from sqrt(16) up to sqrt(25) (exclusive) -> 5
- from sqrt(25) up to sqrt(36) (exclusive) -> 6
- from sqrt(36) up to sqrt(49) (exclusive) -> 7
- from sqrt(49) up to sqrt(64) (exclusive) -> 8
- from sqrt(64) and up -> over 8
This
weakly simulates what Steve pointed out.
