First of all, if you haven't added your rookie year to your profile, go into your profile (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/profile.php?do=editprofile) and put in your rookie year (last item on the page). Remember, it's the year of the first game you participated in.
By my rough count, there are 327 people who have done it. That's only 4.6% of the 7173 current members.
For example, with my rookie year of 1997, there are only 11 members who have been in FIRST longer then me. That's only 2.8% of the people on chiefdelphi have been doing FIRST longer then me.
For all the year levels, I've included the number of people who started that year, and what percentage of people are "older". The last column is a FIRST celebrity that you've done FIRST longer then.
1992 2 0%
1993 0 0.5% David Kelso
1994 2 0.5% Andy Grady
1995 3 1.0% Dave Lavery
1996 4 1.8% Chris Hibner
1997 11 2.8% Andy Baker
1998 17 5.9% Ken Leung
1999 28 10.3% JVN
2000 46 17.5% Rich Kressly
2001 62 29.3% Amanda Morrison
2002 74 45.2%
2003 84 64.3%
2004 54 85.9%
2005 1 99.7%

I've updated the table so now, if you've been around a few years, you can see what FIRST Celebrities you started before.

Given that I got very confused by the addition of the "FIRST Celebrities", note that they started in the year after they're listed on there. I think Joe's just trying to confuse me at this point...

Reading across, if you started in 1994, there are 2 people that started the same year. There are only .5% of users older then you, and you are older then Andy Grady.

I am with 73% or so. I was a rookie and freshman in 2002, so I guess I'm a young 'un.

It confused me too Joe. Intuitively, when you list statistics next to a year, those are the statistics from that year. So the percentage older then you is fine, but moving the celebs back a year is confusing. Unless you were trying to find famous people for each year and had a gap somewhere... :rolleyes:

I like this FIRST age thing. Can you "older" people lend me some money? Now if Joe could only get the gray hair to disappear with his calculations...

I'm right there with you with the young'un stuff, but problem is...
I'm younger than you! I started in '03. Man I hate being one'o' the babies...
It was bad enough I was the baby when I was a freshman and rookie! Now I'm one of them on here. Yuck! :mad:

Hmm...so, are we saying that I am older than JVN but as old as Ken??? *scratches head* Joseph! You're making me think too hard. :p
Either way...I feel old...

i think i'm confused. so your rookie year is supposed to be the first game you participated in? even tho i was technically attending meetings since september, or whatever, of the year before? okay, i think i get it. and i think my year is wrong....

The accepted rookie year is the year of the game. So right now it is the 2005 season for FIRST. Well, 2005 pre-season. Season starts in January.

Boy this is fun Joe, I'm just waiting for some pie charts, or maybe a bell curve, or a histogram would be nice. I would like to see a graphical representation of where I am in the history of FIRST. If you could get that to us by lets say, noon Friday I think that would be fair. Thanks for all your hard work.

Very nice Joe I'll give you an A, you even got it in ahead of time.

This is per person, not team. Andy Baker has a nice graph showing team new teams per year with total number for the year. It may have been two graphs, but I saw them durring his History of FIRST presentation. :)
