Now on to our new section; we are interested in the demographics of our undernet users. There has been much speculation about the demographics and habits of our users, thus these questions. We will post the overall stats once we obtain enough responses for meaningful charts. Note: Percentages were used in some of the following questions so that estimating/rough guessing would be easier. Just make rough guesses and we will be happy :-) What is your sex? (No rough guesses permitted on this question :P)
