Wow I can't believe they have this in there terms. Off course it doesn't apply to me because I'm an old bugger (well I feel old). Still the internet would be a better place without the under 18's, wouldn't it?

nothing big about this. theres tons of clauses and things in terms and conditions of sites that no one ever notices. I recall one site having in their terms that they could use your account for spam or something.
