Have you been to a forum that requires you to be a certain age? What are your thoughts based on these kinds of forums. I think the only type of forums that would really require this is pornographic forums obviously but I've seen many other different forums even a couple of chat forums in my time require you to be 18+.
 
To me, it seems kind of pointless to put an age restriction. Anyone can enter in any birth date they want and just pretend to be older.

It's not like there's a bouncer checking ID's at the door like at a night club. :P
 
There types of forums only work if you provide photo id to have your account activated but who would bother with that
 
Yes, I have but:

This. I find age restrictions pointless unless you're required to provide a credit card or something like that. Even then, I wouldn't trust doing that. That's just going too far. xD

Unless they have access to, or will, partake in sharing photos/videos of themselves or have access to a 'lets meet up' kind of subforum then I don't agree with you on this.

Most teenagers watch porn. They just do. More females do then you'd think too. I don't think this will change anytime soon, so the whole 18+ to view it on sites is useless.

Everything comes down to the maturity of the individual in life, for both people under and above 18 years of age.
