Happy Birthday to me!
I'm turning [IS IT ALRIGHT TO MENTION AGE?]

Mod edit - Dude, saying your birthday matches a famous event in history still gives away your age.

Why do people keep saying your not allowed to post your age? ive just had yet another look at the aup and all it says is post any information on this site at your own risk, so that basically means post anything you want about yourself?

Hallowed are the ori.

I think the rules are that minors aren't allowed to post your age, but as long as you're an adult it's okay .

Happy Birthday!

Rich doesn't want anyone posting their age if they're 16 or under, there was a sticky about it a long, long time ago. You can look for it if you want.

So it's alright to know that they are under 16, as long as you don't know their exact age?

Obviously not, so it's good to not post your age on here ever. But if the odd guy says "Happy Birthday to me, I'm 25!" then it's no big deal. So the gist is, if you're a minor, then don't elude to that. It's just common sense.

If he's not old enough to post his age, that's all of the info we-- I mean those perverts need.

I suggest lying about it. And everything else.

Well, you aren't old enough to drive yet I assume, or drink or smoke or vote or any of that stuff, but you're old enough to have a good birthday, so do that

About the age thing: What's the big deal guys? It's not like it's a difficult rule to follow. If you're under 16, don't give out your age, and don't drop hints, so crazy people don't stalk you with a hatchet and chop you into little bits to flavor their cereal with.

Neither was I. See, Dick Cheney tried to shoot the stork that was carrying me, but shot the driver of the turnip truck instead. Really it's a miracle that either of us are alive.

Indeed, I was refering to the fact that every time a minor posts with their age, a mod edits the post to remove the age yet still indicates that the person is a minor. It can't be helped I guess.

Happy Birthday, I agree with Ben and Jimmy, safety on the net would be not to hint anything, like if I were to say what famous person in history my town had, that would be enough to work out which school sixth form I go to and then Jimmy has got me with his blunt knife. Same for age, any hint that you're a minor could lead to weirdos trying to work out your location through whatever they do.

I should make a sequel to Cheney Hunter. I could double the time I spent on the original... make it in 6 days instead of 3 lol. That game had more bugs than a woman... uh... I can't finish that here, against regulation But it might be kinda fun to do it better. Perhaps that's something I should think about, hehe.

Do I need to have a drug problem? Can I be an alchoholic like Mel Gibson? I don't drink irl so it might be fun to pretend I do. It beats acting like Robert Downey Jr. At least as Mel Gibson I could act like a drunk, insult a bunch of people, AND have a notable career to brag about in a drunken stupor is there REALLY more to life? REALLY?

Which famous event? Dick Cheney shooting someone, Robert Downey Jr. using drugs, or Mel Gibson spouting racial slurs?

I'm pretty sure there's lots of 12-year olds who pretend they're psycho-killers with blond afros and green eyebrows. You know... the kids who get picked on and blame it all on society and their class-mates rather than looking inward to see the faults that give others leeway for such insults
