on the old forums you had to send in like a paper with your parent's signature to have an account? I just thought of that today.

Why did they require that? I mean, someone could easily just forge a signature. It's not like they know your parents' names or what their handwriting looks like??

COPPA similarly to how you're "required" to be 17+ to purchase m rated video games online in the united states, but in reality you can just lie about your age, or how the EU requires websites to tell you when they use cookies (which p much every website uses and means nothing)...... it's legislation that is quite stupid and ineffective in practice, but websites must adhere to it.

I was 9 when I joined so yeah I remember. I was mad cause normally I just lie and for some reason I didn't so I had to wait like a week to be able to post. I even had dreams about using the forums before I was able to. Dang was I obsessed.

Oh wow, I remember that. Every day after I got home from school I would check to see if it would let me log in until FINALLY.
And that, my friends, was officially the beginning of the end of my life.
