After reading OG's post about ARPANET 50 years ago I started to wonder who is the oldest/youngest active member here (age not membership)?

Not I - I am a mere stripling from February 1959.

I'm almost sure that there are some beat you by decade or more... You may go for the youngest

In that category, Sander has us all beaten.

Yay for 1959, old man! May 1959 myself - you can call me "kid".

Taking that line of reasoning to an extreme, I once asked the younger of a set of twins if her older sister ever tried to annoy her by starting a story with "you weren't around then, but back in my time..."

Was that BC or AD? 
My plan is to live forever ... so far so good

1954 was a good year

Griff has me beat by a bit over a year.

I feel so young. March 1968.

Looking at all of the replies, I wonder what happened during May-August 1958 to cause so many February to May 1959 births of people who turned out to be programmers.... March 4 1959 here.

Only if you have enough space for the mouse driver and the sound card - otherwise it's "Hello Emm386"!

Younger than the Griff I am. Not the youngest, though.

Younger than the Griff, older than Sander.
Is there a category of "closest to the median age?"

For that we will need exact ages!

Born a couple of months before VJ day. Without wishing to offend any of our eastern friends, my dad was still fighting their fathers or grandfathers when I was born.

You take the prize so far - by about seven months, which actually looks like a whole year in this case.
I have no idea what my father did the in war except:
1. He finished at Oxford and quickly got commissioned into the Royal Corps of Signals.
2. Rapidly promoted to middle ranks.
3. Never left the UK for the whole of the war.
4. Lived and worked in a bunker in London that was so far underground he never had to worry about bombs.
I know more about my grandfather in the first war, who was a gunnery officer onboard HMS Dreadnought.
