I think that it is good the way it is. Why? Because some of the advertisements are not to nice on PB forums and I think they should be kept away from under aged users. Also, it will generate a lot of spelling mistakes as most people under 13 aren't the best spellers, no offence  I think it is proving that PB is looking after it's forums and making sure the young grow up with a social life ;D |

You are one of those bad spellers Luke. xP
No I think it should be kept at 13+, if not raise it to 15+. Forums just aren't the place for little kids, heck do they even know what one is, or how to use a computer?

Yeah. Can't really re-write the law. Plus I think it is the best for people's safety.

It would be against COPPA. If anything I think they should raise it to 14 instead just because I like 14 more than 13. 13 is an odd number.

Yes, the age should stay at 13 because who would want a 10, 11 or 12 year old running around your forum? |
