Definitely mature beyond 13 years, the only thing that I even raised an eyebrow was when you were asked about your age in the first place, I've never encountered a situation on TL where my age has ever even mattered in the discussion + Show Spoiler +

If anything, you have my respect for being so mature in your age. My son is 9 years old and he sadly comes nowhere close that level of maturity you have.. <.< >.>

If you are talking about my post, yes, it's a US law, and TL is based on New York, so it applies to TL.

Here's one of the accounts banned by it:

uNAware was just banned by motbob.

That account was created on 2011-04-20 09:22:45 and had 52 posts.

Reason: The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 is a federal law that places certain restrictions on websites when dealing with persons under the age of 13. Because of this, TL does not allow users under the age of 13 to use this website.


The law only applies to American citizens though.

Isn't it the case of sites on US servers being prohibited from offer services to minors full stop rather than specifically American minors?

Heh, I knew you seemed a bit young, I guessed about 14 or 15 when I was talking to someone else a while back. But I never cared too much about it because it doesn't matter.

Now that you're taking on more and more responsibility, just be careful with what you say and do. On a forum your posts your attitude more than anything. Before you hit the post button, always reread it and think twice, 'Does this post reflect well on myself?'

It's been fun to get to know you kollin, keep up the enthusiasm ^_^

I do think there are times when I show my age in my posts, especially when I'm tired or frustrated. Hopefully as I grow older that will change. A pleasure getting to know you, and the rest of the EVE/Dota guys should you be reading this, too

You're a great writer and always came across as smart and mature when reading your stuff. No worries, I've never put much thought into personal details on the internet such as age as they're so difficult to verify (and not being judged on these is half the reason we're here, eh?) - I only judge people online on the quality of what they do, so no need to apologize I feel, though apology accept anyway!

And blimey you're 13! I'm pushing 30! Please make the most of your childhood! Your writing is fantastic, just make sure you still climb trees.

EDIT: also, was now the right time for the blog? I mean - SO CLOSE TO 3K POSTS!!!!

Thanks mate, I realised how close I was to 3k as soon as I posted the blog ^^
I definitely am still having a childhood, I do sports and such but also balance it with writing because I feel like it is a good way to express my personality and creativity that school or whatever other outlet normally available might not provide.

There are at least a few streamers under 13 on TL, najzmajs being probably the most known.

Wow :O nice.

Props. You've sure got me beat.

Signed up to TL at 12... took me more than four years to make it to staff.

In reality though, I've learned a lot about how to act as a younger gamer, and it's extremely true that most people of your age (my age previously) really do make us cast in a bad light. It's actually a smart move to not draw a ton of attention to your age, I somewhat regret it. No need to hide it, but flaunting it is also kind of silly.

Anyway, glad to have you (sort of) on staff glhf and I definitely wouldn't have noticed if you didn't say anything, which is a good sign.

I remember pretending to be 16 when I was a 13 year old on the internet, for exactly the reasons you state (e.g. wanting people to take me seriously). Definitely know that feeling.

Also, at the time, 16 seemed impossibly old and mature to me. I'm now 26. The years go by fast :p
