Our registration form has actually required people to be 14 for over a year now. It reduces legal liability that we are exposed to from youngsters sharing information that they shouldn't.

Yes... See http://www.orangefrogproductions.com... and http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/16/15

"1. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICE; MINIMUM AGE REQUIREMENT

a. Description of Service. Answerbag.com is where people share knowledge on various topics and enjoy sharing in the Answerbag community.
b. Age Requirement. You must be at least 14 years old to use the Service."

14 is a pretty good minimum age.

14 is the but unfortunately there isn't a maximum age, which is really a shame. I would set it at probably 55 to keep a good number of the crazies out.

Not sure, but some of the topics that crop up on this website are at least "R" rated. Some people have a need to appeal to prurient interests via this website.

Actually, there are two:

1) general age requirement: 14
"b. Age Requirement. You must be at least 14 years old to use the Service."
Source: Answerbag's Terms of Use (from the Answerbag Staff)
http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/15


2) age requirement for AB4Adults: 18
"Age Verification
You must be this tall to ride the ride
I'm under 18, please take me back to the front page where it's safe and warm
I'm at least 18 and recognize that there could be explicit, objectionable content behind these doors"
http://www.answerbag.com/age_verify


3) I think it has to do with the law in the USA, so it can probably not be changed.
