Okay, I didn't know if this belonged here or not, but I had to share this story with you: One time I was going to register on a Nick Carter Fan Forum, and I went to put in my birthdate, which I believe was mandatory because of the Coppa laws, and I don't know what year I put, but evidently it was not 1988, because I got the message: we do not allow users over 99 years of age. I'm sitting at our family computer thinking, WTF??? And then I went and looked and realized I must've hit like 1920 or 1930 instead of 1988. Finally I corrected my mistake. I told the administrator about it when I first logged in to the forum, and we both cracked up over it. It was a pretty hilarious situation. What are some registeration stories you can remember from your early days of foruming? Sorry if this was already posted, by the way.
 
No stories from me. Registration is just a formality that takes a few seconds.
 
I have never had any problems either.
 
I hit the wrong button and registered as a COPPA user... Emailed the admin to activate my account

I never had any problems either outside of that sometimes unreadable captcha that exists on some forum's registration pages.
 
Don't really have any serious stories, but one time I registered an account, but I accidentally selected the wrong year too, and it wouldn't let me register or change the year. It just said that since I was under 13, which I'm not, I couldn't join the site. I even tried refreshing the page, it still said I wasn't 13, but I finally just closed out the browser and it worked.
