Profile age question

[Paden]

I'm hoping that it gets dropped very soon. It's causing undue stress and garbage for people that don't need to deal with it. But, and this is kind of important: Don't fill in any personal information that you don't need to give out. Keep confidential info about yourself just that, confidential. Yes, we want you to be thirteen and older to be here, that hasn't changed. No, we don't think you're actually twelve because when you registered at the old site, you were following the rule of having to be thirteen. Just give folks the credit to believe you're old enough to be here and don't act like you belong in front of a TV set watching children's programming no matter how old you are and all will be well.

to echo paden - keep anything confidential to yourselves. You don't actually HAVE to enter a date of birth when you register

A lot of you, like me, reveal (part of) your real christian names. Now I'm not overly worried about that really but I suppose if someone were hell bent on stealing my identity then I'd be helping them by giving them my date of birth as well

Not trying to worry anyone but you do have to keep security at the back of your minds on teh big bad intarwebz

[Micke]

Great, I'm gonna be 18 for another 1½ years 

[Paden]

You'll be grateful for it when you hit anything past thirty-six, trust me.

[Ali]

yep, that's right .. 37 this year, but under the rule of 6 I'm still 36! YAY!

[Micke]

Okay, I’m gonna try to appreciate my youth more.

[SimGirl20]

I noticed the 18 thing too and I'll be 21 next month ah well least I know how old I am lmfao

[OHHxbby]

but i worked so hard to become 17!
being downgraded to 12 isn't so much fun 

[vpn]

Yes, I have some problems too. I am 17 years old, but my profile says that I am 12... 
Maybe the profile wants to let me revive my childhood? 

[Paden]

It's a Pescado thing, he sees years of age in multiples of six. You only advance in age when you hit one of those multiples. I dunno why, I think it's an old fart thing he came up with in order not to feel so ancient.

[vpn]

Wow, that's an interesting thing. I didn't know about it.   

[Haruhitastic]

I'm sorry to bump this up, but...
It's been a very long time since I've been twelve.
Don't get me wrong; I'd love to relive those glory days, but...at the same time I'm only two years away from being an adult so. :|
So for now, I was born in the year 0000. Great year to be born in.

Way to go, SMF! <3

[Katie]

Wow, I never noticed that, until now, I should pu in my siggy that I'm <snipped>...

[caffeinated.joy]

No, not a good idea. If you do, it would just be deleted by staff.

[Jenna]

...for, like, the fifth time.

ETA:
Or, wait, no; that was that other one. Nevermind. Also, I don't see any reason this thread needs to be open anymore. So...
