Under 13s
Posted by Kitty (#1) on 1st Oct 2010

Some of you may have noticed now that there has been a change to the message boards and chat rooms.

Under 13s are no longer permitted to enter the chatroom or the main message boards. Instead, all under 13s have access to under 13-only boards consisting of general, sales, roleplaying and help/bugs. The only non-under 13s that will be able to access these boards will be moderators, for obvious reasons.

The decision to do this was not taken lightly. It is to give under 13s an extra safety bump and was decided after receiving several complaint emails from parents. Instead of removing all under 13s from the site completely, I decided it would be fairer - and more logical - to do things this way. :) There are no changes to gameplay (no features are lost) - it's only the boards that have changed. These changes have been made to protect under-13s, and as soon as they turn 13 they will be able to access the main boards again.

I expect there will be a few complaints but I hope all of you can understand why I made this decision, and agree that it's for the best. :)

Awww, a lot of sites do just jump and kick the younger ones off the site, so this is a very nice idea, keeps the majority happy!

i think this is a great ideal, but i am just wondering about those who were in an RP that is currently on going. what are they suppost to do with their characters if they can not RP any more? should they ask some one to do their post for them or some thing?

Aw, I understand. But maybe you can make it so that parents can send a request to open them to the older boards and the chat?
For kids with parents who are okay with it.

I was a little confused with the '13s' because I have to much Physics homework. xD I was like 'Under 13 seconds....?'. I think this was a good idea, there probably will be kids that lie about their age though.

Wow I didn't know there were that many under 13 lol but i like this idea.

I can't access a board that I've posted on several times before that's not fair.

By New User (#2385) on 03-10-2010 11:22:24
hey can you send emails asking parents if their children can go to chat and go on the maine boards
By Mystic (#392) on 04-10-2010 09:23:10
What gives, I'm sure I entered my proper age when applying.
I am most defintly not under 13.
In fact I'm 21, but I can't see anything but the under 13 boards. So seriously, what gives?
