This is to anyone that can answer my question.

I noticed on that you have to be 13 to join the forums and the clan. My son is 12, and I would like him to be able to join the forums. I normally am very careful about who he plays with online and communicates with since these days there are alot of dangers out there. Being a part of the community I have met alot of great ppl and am very proud of what the clan stands for. Everyone that i have met are very nice and respectful and those are the type of ppl I would like his to enjoy his gaming years with. Is there something that Must be done before he can join now, or does he have to wait til he turns 13. He's a good kid, and a great gamer, better than myself at some games I must say. If anyone has any info for me, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

Unfortunately the forum limits are put in place so that we abide by COPPA. Click here for info on COPPA (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COPPA)
This is just designed so that parents are aware of what their children are viewing online and preventing them from doing things like buying stuff on ebay..etc.
Idk, you might be able to register for him - i believe you can enter your age as long as you are there monitoring him when he's on the forums. (I'm not 100% sure of the legal issue surrounding that scenario). Also we have duplicate registration prevention - so if you do register for him, send me a PM with his username so i can allow it to post. Thanks.

Hey I found out that there is a permission slip that I would need to fill out and fax. Is there a way I can send it over email to someone since I don't have a fax. I can scan it in.... if someone can let me know I would appreciated it. Not that it matters too much since he will be turning 13 soon.... I just know hes excited about joining

If he's turning 13 soon... I'd just use your Birthday.

There's really no point in going through scanning and faxing that permission slip thing. Just watch what he does till he turns 13.

Scan it in and email it to webmaster@pmsclan.com. He can sign up with his birthday and I will approve him in the backend. Send me a PM when you do.

I wish my dad even knew what a video game is xD! And to be honest I NEVER put my real age on any sites unless they are official. I am currently 13 but I was 12 when I joined the site.

EDIT: Please tell me I won't be in trouble for that because I enjoy these forums and everyone on them! And the point is Im 13 now...

i just thought it was cute how you put a disclaimer at the bottom of that post like "will i be in trouble?" because it's definitely not something you will be in trouble for at this point, it's over and done. Just thought it was cute. that's all. sorry.

You are going to be banned for that huge act of deception and lies.

Have a nice day.

LOL no really, we do have to comply with COPPA and we are legally responsible to enforce it but if you lie about your age there is nothing we can do about it. Just don't admit it. But your 13 now so no big deal.

Hey snake,
I emailed you the permission slip for my son crazyman1995, But we noticed that he can't post a thread to introduce himself. Just wondering when he will be about to do that.

he is a very trusting father. I think having that bond with your child to allow them to share the same interests and hobbies brings parent and child closer.

YOU DA MAN LIQUID!
