It's perfectly normal and ordinary for surveys of this sort to have demographic quotas. I don't understand the fuss. A correctly-designed survey sets quotas for each demographic group, so that it isn't skewed by groups that are more likely to participate. If they're cutting off older respondents, that just means they have enough data from people in that age range but still need responses from other ranges. It doesn't mean they don't care about the age group - it means they do care about other age groups.
Yeah, I was talking about some recent phenomenon I see on the boards and wonder if anyone may try to be a "brigade of one" with a Tor browser or something, and that's pretty involved to game a market research survey, but people like to play games.

Jander Sunstar is the thinking person's Drizzt, fight me.
The IRL lore being written now will plague tables for ages.
Is it a plague if the people playing the game are either happy with the change or don't care about it, instead using their own lore, for this, a creative and collaborative venture?

You are talking about a survey with an NDA you specifically agreed to, so using this forum to discuss it is inappropriate.
That having been said, there was one question for which none of the options was applicable to me, but it would not allow the question to go unanswered.
I just completed the survey (won't ever be doing that again as it forces you to give only "approved" answers to a fair number of non-related questions).
I am north of 55 and it didn't kick me out at all...not that I would have minded.
