Hello,

My 13 year-old son wants to join the forum. I thought that at one time there was a minimum age one had to be to join the forum, but I can't find that in the terms and rules now. Am I missing something? He's really getting into painting and wants his own account to share his work connect with the community.

Thanks,

Andy

Perhaps the age thing is during the account creation process?

I can't see anything prohibiting it, and we're always happy to see new people on the forums, so I say let him go for it! I just wish that I would have found the Reaper Forums when I was a young lad seeking to become a decent painter!

Do have him keep the foul language to a minimum. I remember what I was like at that age...

There's a federal law that prohibits youths under 13 from signing up for things online. (COPPA) Enforceable, I know.

Anyway, it's not in the official rules, but if our backs were against the wall, we'd have to kick anyone under 13. Since your boy is 13, no problems!

... Pay no heed to proud thoughts, famous champion. Now the flowering of your strength is but for a while. After a while, the time will suddenly come that disease or the sword's edge will cut off your power. Either fire's grasp or flood's surge or blade's bite or spear's flight. Or vicious age, or the flash of your eyes will gutter and burn out! It will be all at once, great campaigner, that death will overpower you.

 

It's terrifying!  Without enough caffeine your body undergoes these hours of partial paralysis and hallucinations! :shudder:
