Is there anyone on this site that isn't under 23?

Kratas · « **Reply #1 on:** January 10, 2009, 04:58 pm »

the majority of the people on this sight are under 23

I'm under 23, but have the mind of a 40 year old British Field Officer from the 19th Century

Got to perm ban you now, keeping the law is more important.

Ryan Skywalker · « **Reply #8 on:** January 10, 2009, 08:33 pm »

Kratas · « **Reply #9 on:** January 10, 2009, 08:34 pm »

but there are many people who are under 13,no names

Ryan Skywalker · « **Reply #10 on:** January 10, 2009, 08:36 pm »

not many who come on every day and post

Kratas · « **Reply #11 on:** January 10, 2009, 08:36 pm »

that is so heartless of prototype

and I'm 18 thanks for asking.

Argonnath · « **Reply #14 on:** January 10, 2009, 10:07 pm »

Lol why there is rule that only over 13 year old can join? (DID you really ban him)

Prototype · « **Reply #15 on:** January 10, 2009, 10:47 pm »

Required to by law. Read up on the Children's online privacy protection act of 1998.

Lord of the Night · « **Reply #16 on:** January 10, 2009, 10:54 pm »

Ehh Id say he's old enough, have you actually banned him?

Prototype · « **Reply #17 on:** January 10, 2009, 10:57 pm »

Ok let me put it this way: Law > than what you (in general) think/say

This is my last post regarding this issue.

Argonnath · « **Reply #18 on:** January 10, 2009, 11:11 pm »

So he did ban him. but Admin cant speak those things in public?

Solar · « **Reply #19 on:** January 11, 2009, 10:54 am »

Look, it clearly states when you sign up that you have to be 13 or over. Would you complain if i wasn't served alcohol at a pub because i'm 16 and mature enough to drink it responsibly?

Mr. Name change. (Rhyss) · « **Reply #20 on:** January 11, 2009, 04:25 pm »

I know the rules are true but he has been on for a while just keep him on.

Solar · « **Reply #21 on:** January 11, 2009, 04:35 pm »

No, just because i have been served alcohol for a few months doesn't mean i should continue to get served alcohol when the pub finds out i'm 16.

Rules are Rules.

AluminumFalcon · « **Reply #22 on:** January 11, 2009, 06:00 pm »

The folks running this board have to think of the legal ramifications. They may like the folks that have been banned, but that does not change the laws. As Solar and Prototype have said, rules are rules.

That's why we have Proto, apart from his general wonderfulness. Epicly scary knowledge of many a law.

well its that or this hole forum gets shut down

Mandalor Vipeer · « **Reply #30 on:** January 12, 2009, 02:18 am »

No one will know if he stays on and you erase that. I don't acknowledge US laws as my own anymore anyway. Oh well. Bowser if you still read these, e-mail me. I'm working on setting up a site for my own mod anyway. You can join it. I don't care about age restrictions. Most of them are outdated and stupid and pointless, and need to be burned (which they will). e-mail me.

Sapare · « **Reply #31 on:** January 12, 2009, 05:34 am »

WOW, bowser got banned, if you read this. I'm truly sorry for you. I'm lucky that I got not banned last year. To that time I was 12. Right now I'm 13! So don't ban me. Some how from the first time I read a post of Prototype, I knew it was best to be afraid of him... XD

Sarcastic · « **Reply #32 on:** January 12, 2009, 05:38 am »

Ahh yes internet laws. I remember the first time I ever got banned on a forum. Release of Battlefront 2 and I let it slip that I was 12 at the time.

Welp I can't that anymore. Good to be above 13 and nearly at the sweet 16 mark.

Mandalor Vipeer · « **Reply #33 on:** January 12, 2009, 05:44 am »

No one can really shut this forum down. If someone is really under thirteen, we have no proof of it. Therefore there is no way we can be punished. What if I said I was 11. Would you believe me?

Sapare · « **Reply #34 on:** January 12, 2009, 05:46 am »

Funny is I signet up at this forum I was 12. And I Acutely had my age under profile for the hole year I was under 13, no one cared.

Mandalor Vipeer · « **Reply #35 on:** January 12, 2009, 05:57 am »

see? And if say a ten year old said there age was thirteen, we wouldn't know, and there would be no investigation of such. That law was made with no foresight what-so-ever. It can't be enforced here. I am 11 (It was ignored last time).

He is not going to ban you, your profile says you 18. Also to make it more clear when I was 12 I did not say I was 13, I said I was 12. And thats why its funny, no one cared. Also Proto! You forgot to add Browser to the list of banned people. I would love to see the reason you put him for. "He was to young"

Mandalor Vipeer · « **Reply #37 on:** January 12, 2009, 06:10 am »

That better?

Sapare · « **Reply #38 on:** January 12, 2009, 06:26 am »

By law he would need to ban you now, as every thing says you 11 right now.(I never read the law so I might be wrong, but I guess it is like that)

Sarcastic · « **Reply #39 on:** January 12, 2009, 06:30 am »

The mods would obviously know he isn't 11 but honestly, by law he will be banned. It might sound dumb but it's reasonable. A lot of stuff on forums shouldn't be introduced to 11-year olds.

Sapare · « **Reply #40 on:** January 12, 2009, 06:34 am »

Like what? nothing I heard of on this forum that I never heard of before. And even on forums like the official Prince Of Persia forum, addmins and other people don't ban people for being younger then 13, they do not care. Face it no one does really.

Sarcastic · « **Reply #41 on:** January 12, 2009, 06:40 am »

Well of course it doesn't happen as much here. Too small and not enough differing opinions. When I mean influencing kids, it's more along the lines of trolling and censor bypasses.

Also depends on the forums. Small forums would probably keep them just to keep the traffic up. The more traffic the better. For forums with immense amounts of traffic then they would be banned for sure. Over at my main forum of Gamefaqs, you're pretty much banned in minutes if you say you're underage.

Sapare · « **Reply #42 on:** January 12, 2009, 06:43 am »

Did you even read my post or do you joust don't care. Like I said, there are people in the official Prince of Persia forum under age, people do not care there. Its a main traffic forum. It made 9 games. I mean when you make your account you need to say you 13 or older, but every one can do that. After that you could go around the forum saying you 11 or so.

Sarcastic · « **Reply #43 on:** January 12, 2009, 06:47 am »

Oh no I did read your post. I'm not aware of the size of the PoP boards so I was just assuming it was a small to mid-sized board.

Of course there are a few boards that don't give a damn like you say. Still most boards would follow the law.

Sapare · « **Reply #44 on:** January 12, 2009, 06:55 am »

Its funny how so many don't know POP. Its not like its the only game series with 7 games...( I newer heard of another series with 7 games)(sorry I said 9 before, I mend 7, its just that they said they planing to make 2 more games.)

Sarcastic · « **Reply #45 on:** January 12, 2009, 06:59 am »

I think it's just more getting overshadowed. It wasn't very high profile during last gen and it wasn't very high profile this winter. I will admit there is quite a nice fanbase but I'm not sure on a good estimate of how many.

Back to the topic/topics at hand now.

Argonnath · « **Reply #46 on:** January 12, 2009, 07:51 am »

He will return here dont worry

Solar · « **Reply #47 on:** January 12, 2009, 11:17 am »

when you signed up you agreed to our terms and conditions. If you claim to be more than 11 then you are gaining access to this site illegally and your parents should be prosecuted for not controlling you.

AluminumFalcon · « **Reply #48 on:** January 12, 2009, 11:54 am »

Hey guys, go easy on busting the chops of the admins and moderators. They are protecting their interests. If you do not agree with the enforcement of the rules (and laws) then fine, but harping at those running this forum is ridiculous. If some parent gets upset that their child is on here and saw something that offends them (whatever that would be, this is one of the cleanest forums I have ever seen, congratulations) and makes noise about it, then Proto, Solar and all the rest of those responsible for this forum would bear the brunt of it, not you. Running a forum like this is internet equivalent of herding cats. For those that do not understand that reference, just try the imagining what THAT would be like.

Have fun, enjoy the discussions, and see what you can do to help this project along, even if it is just moral support. Remember, the ultimate goal here is the complete version 1. Everything else is secondary.

That reminds me, when is it going to be ready?

Just kidding!!!!!!!

In all seriousness, Proto did the right thing. If you all want V1, it's not going to get done if Doro and Proto are sitting in court. Props for upholding the law.

Glad I am done with that part of my life, it probably would not take much for you to catch me....move a little slow these day...can't remember the last time I did 2 miles with a packed rucksack...

Course pass a bit more on to Trebor, and I will have him do my dirty work...
