Yeah I think that children need their own accounts, I'm not sure but I think that you have to make your own file

Yeah, have them create their own account, but remember to monitor them if they're under a certain age (I wouldn't have much of an idea what that would be, but I'm 15 and my parents are fine w/ me being here w/o them constantly checking what I say here).

Oh definantly let them get their own membership - 2 of my sons (aged 9 and 7) have their own accounts on WP and love it.

Personally I think there should be a special Child Account, which would restrict them from the more obscene and Adult areas of the site, such as the Adult Forum (duh), The Haven, and a couple of other, just to keep them safe.

Yeah... I think that a child membership should give access to the 'Kids crater'(obviously), Random Discussion, Members only, off the wall and general autisim discussion... I think that would be quite a good idea... as those are the only forums I use on WP anyway... My parents wouldn't allow me to use any other forums on WP If I asked to use them, so...
