How has the user info page changed? Or is it an upcoming change that hasn't been released yet?
I definitely would be curious to see what the statistics would look like if everyone gave their age, and did so honestly. The perspective that everyone who uses any sort of blogging service must be terribly young annoys me, definitely. I don't feel, though, that LJ has in any way pandered toward a younger age group. LJ seems to be pretty good about making most features optional, hopefully that will continue.
And now I'm going to be pondering the question of truth all afternoon ... ;D

I think it's a beta that's going to become the norm; from what I've read, if LJ decides to go with it, you'd have to opt-out not to get it, rather than have the choice to opt-in if you like it.
Apparently people think it looks too much like the MySpace design; there are some comments here (http://community.livejournal.com/lj_design/5538.html).
