children under 13 suitable to visit forums?

[Meji Imaru]

As far as I know, many old people here can easily pass as young funloving 12 year olds ^_^ Not that it's bad or anything, but this shows that age doesnt really determine a person's personality, therefore acting all mature and knowledgeable isnt really a huge requirement when joining forums.

And why do most people go to forums anyway?

To have a great time of course.

The purposes of joining a forum is not so much for the forum community as it is for the user's own benefit. So why stop them? If the kids want to join, then it's their choice. The best thing we can do is to keep them aware of the malicious events going on around the forums, and any other net sites for that matter.

Keeping them aware gives them the freedom of making the decisions for themselves, and I think 12 year olds are intelligent enough to keep themselves out of trouble with sufficient warning.

And as for fitting in..... well, again, that doesnt completely rely on age. The community is diverse, and various types of people are present. I seriously dont think it possible for any single individual not to find a single friend in here.

Well said, I couldnt have said it better my self, infact if you read my post you'll see that I didnt even say it half as good

As someone earlier said, it depends on maturity... if you're ( not you, i mean basic young dudes) are gonna be prats and whine when ever anyone uses foul language, then don't. If your mature enough, then its okay. But ythen you cant say that the forum was responsible for the thiungs people say. You will just have to take it in.

I dont mind it either way.... only I should not having people saying " HE SAID A BAD WORD!!!!!" every time I say goddamnit. That is just plain frustrating and immature.

I dont believe there is a problem with that at all. As long as younger ppl do not go into bad discussions then it is fine to be on a forum. The forums r monitered and mods will make sure nothing real bad can happen so I think it is ok.

hm if anything they just talk about stuff and they don't want u around but other wise if u are 10 or 11 i think it's okay for the most part. just watch what u go into and watch what u say. 13 is a good age to really start through.

[rock on]

it only mater where you go most place here are fine others web site dont really care what they talk about

[dark angel swordsman]

they should be able to make their own decisions, non? that's my opinion.
