Is there an age limit to this forum? Or can any age sign up?

You have to be at least 13 years old to join BYC.

If we find out, we'll ban them until their 13th birthday.

I would think it would be really hard to police though.

So as long as we aren't knowingly collecting information from minors under 13, we're in compliance with it, but if we do become aware of minors under 13 with accounts on BYC, we need to ban them. It's also against the BYC rules to have an account if under 13.

Some are sneaky.
