Thread has been locked/closed to discussion. Hello everybody, forum members and guests alike. Today I must inform you of something that happened recently, which I believe will also serve to explain what I've been doing over the past day.
As a few of you already know, I received a message from the Proboards abuse team, stating I am not under any circumstances allowed to have users under age 13 registered on these forums. I am completely the one at fault, for creating the thread advising people to lie about their age. I had no idea about the magnitude of the age rule, it was my own ignorance and stupidity, my own fault that this happened.
In any case, I am required by Proboards to DELETE all accounts that do not meet the age requirement. For documentation purposes I will be recording their basic information (name number of posts, and karma) in an excel document. I'm also going to try to preserve the guides written by members under age 13 so that people can continue to benefit from them. If you have interest in a certain guide written by a younger member, and wish to perhaps carry on writing that guide in their place, you may PM me about that, and I'll email the guide author to see if they'd be alright with that.
I've come across several accounts I know to be under age 13. Some of you, I've already contacted via email. Others will be contacted soon. If you find that your account is gone from the forums, please check the email address you used to create it. It saddens me to have to remove people from the forums community, but I must abide by this rule or else have this forum taken down permanently. Should your account be among those affected, you are encouraged to continue visitng the main site, and checking for updates on the game here as well as there. Anyone whose account is deleted will/has be(en) offered an in-game compensation for my massive screwup. You can claim this compensation if you want by sending your save file(s) to warriorcats366@gmail.com.
Everyone, again, I apologize profusely, I'm sorry that this had to happen, I hope you can stay a part of the community on the main site. The accounts I've found to be aged under 13 are going to be permanently deleted around the time range of 7:00-8:00 PM EST, today (10/25/11). This leaves you a little over 1-2 hours to copy any last things that you might want from these accounts. I'm sorry to give you such short notice on this, but tommorrow morning marks 48 horus from when I received the abuse message, and I cannot risk forgetting to delete the accounts before tommorrow.
As always, thank you for playing my games and being a part of the community.

Blackbolt was doing his job as a moderator. Put yourself in my position: would you rather have to lose *some* of the community members, or lose the *entire community?* It was not easy for me to delete the accounts, I will miss everyone who had to be deleted, but this is U.S. LAW, and if I hadn't complied, the forum would be gone right now. You'd be sitting wondering why the site disappeared into thin air, perhaps even more frustrated than with this outcome. Again, so sorry to anyone who was affected. I am at fault for thinking users under 13 could make accounts, thinking that the rule was a mere guideline. You could keep in touch with your friend via email, or youtube, or numerous other ways.

First of all, you shouldn't even question ANY of the mods, they have been chosen to do this. Second of all, MAKE A FR!CKING EMAIL! It's so easy! Third of all, I know you made a new account. Finally, THIS IS U.S LAW!
