I wonder if there are children willing enough to register on a forum, that they would persuade their parents to send off a letter to the administrators allowing access? It's used on phpbb and vBulletin boards, I've used it in the past, but the part where it's flawed, is that kids can just reregister again on the forum and lie about their age. Still, it is a good idea, and any inititive to help protect children online, is welcome in my opinion.

I used COPPA registrations on my latest discussion board, I never get a mail from some parents about submitting a registration for their child but when you enable this kind of registration, maybe just maybe you will protect some kid. I think taht COPPA is a useful thingy and I will use this form on every my discussion board or website, where I don't think that children should register. I know, that kids under 15 are surfing on the internet like some 30 year old adult and we can't do about that a lot,but we can allways try.. can we?

Here in Croatia there are no hacker/internet rules or laws so basicly you can do what ever you want ... and if the someway find out what are you doing they first have to find me and that will take few years ... that is why balcan rulz
