These are the Proboards Terms of Service, taken directly from the site www.proboards.com/. I advise everyone on the forum to read them. Violation of any of the Terms of Service, even if it isn't me that's doing the violating, may result in me losing the forum.
I know I sound like I'm nagging but for the sake of the forum please read them. I would really appreciate it.
The part that I am concerned about is the "13 and over" part.
It is part of the ToS that the administrator of the forum is not allowed to be underage. In other words, the person who administers this forum has to be 18 or over, or be 13 or over and have parental permission.
The administrator is me, and I'm 20... so no worries about that part...
It's not just the administrator. Anyone who signs up with this forum has to be 13 or over. If I have underage members on the forum, I could get my forum deleted. I'm not joking.
According to the members list, there are currently no members on this forum that are under 13...
But to anyone who wants to sign up, do not sign up if you're under 13. If you are underage, I have no choice as the admin but to delete your account...
Sorry I'm being mean, but I really don't want to lose my forum. I've worked really hard on it to get it the way it is today. I really would not like all my hard work to be in vain. Thanks for your consideration... ^-^
