Some subtle little changes going on-everyone please read

Alright gang,
Here it is, hot off the presses.
</goof>

<serious>

I found out that my forum didn't comply with the US coppa law.
The coppa law is "Childrens Online Privacy Policy Act".
Becouse this forum is a "general audiences" forum, and the topics here could attract children under 13, I have to be in complience with coppa.

Just in case you haven't noticed, the "Rules" forum is now the "Rules and privacy policy" forum.
I have posted my privacy policy there with the rules.
There will be 2 more areas added to that forum.
Parents of children under 13, please read this"
And, the "rules for children"

I have to make these changes just in case a child decides to take up residence here with us.

<joke>
just in case they want to join the rest of the nuts.

If children do decide to register here, I am asking all of you to please keep an extra watch. Especially in the live chat, which is unmoderated.
If a child is posting some personal information, please let myself or one of our great mods know.
Also, if a child responds in a thread that would not be appropriate for them, let a mod or myself know.
But mostly, don't stop posting in a thread just becouse a child posted there. Blastman was joking when he posted in one of the threads that had degenerated into a joke about chat, and the thread died.
Don't do that.
If a/some child/ren do decide to join here, please extend them the same courtesy and respect you do for each other.
(No, I haven't advertised or invited a bunch of kids to join this forum.)

In my endevor to fix the email bug, (it only effects new registrations) I have reverted back to the original forum program. I'm still uploading files, so if you come on and things just don't look right, that's why.
Another thing that needs stating is, this forum now only has 1 color scheme. The blue grey, as it's the original color scheme of the program.
It will be a whole lot easier for me to fix the problem with this one, then it would be to try to trace 3 skins. Once the problem is found and fixed, I will fix the other 2 skins, then put them back up.

Thanks Trucker! I came here tonight and thought maybe I'd gone color blind!

Sorry about that.
I found out that the "email bug" for registrations is in the original coding and the makers are working on a fix. So for now, I'm going to work on the other 2 skins and get them back up.
