If he's really twelve and not a troll I will shoot myself. No, really. I will.

Typical miraigamer forum user paranoia.

12 year olds are trolls.
Admins are power hungry and ruthless.
Users always get banned for no reason.
etc.

Yeah, right.

If you are under the age of 13, the administrator may require that a parent or guardian provide consent before allowing you to complete the registration process. More information about this is available during the registration process.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's actually a law of which the name I forget, but it's technically illegal for anyone under 13 to visit forums. I think the logistics of it was something about little kids sharing information etc to older people.

It's a bunch of bullshit but it's the law

COPPA, the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act.
They can if we get parental permission and have a privacy statement and a whole bunch of other stuff.
We... don't really comply as far as I know >_>

Alright I would edit this in but the edit function isn't working?

Anyway, I quickly dug up some info on it. It's the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA)
found here: http://www.coppa.org/

So it's pretty much illegal for any operator of a website to be collecting info about children (like birthday etc) without parental consent.

Don't know what I did to make you mad, but ok.

You obviously haven't seen his posts though.

I think he was looking for an exact date, rather than just "some time this week".

As Andwhyisit mentioned earlier, this process will be ongoing and it will be finished when it is finished.

My plan is to close the forum down either tonight or tomorrow morning. It will then reopen when everything has been tested to be working correctly over at Andwhyisit's place.

Hmm, I didn't really think about it before, but I guess this will most likely be my last post here until the forum is opened.

I wish you all the best going forward and have fun at the new forum. : )
