*The ninja swoops in to deliver the final blow!*


I am afraid that the idea is an all around 'no-no' here.

As others have stated, there are members of all ages here. From twelve to twenty-three. People of all sorts and shapes and religions come here and converse freely. Having a mature forum would just help to segregate the members into 'those allowed to maturely roleplay' and 'those who aren't.'

What happens if we find a twelve year old girl who likes to roleplay as a 30 year old woman? She possesses all the right skills. Coherent, creative writing. A good role-playing spirit. Doesn't take things too far. Etc.
In walk the parents, they see a website where little kids are being allowed to roleplay in mature formats. And they blow a gasket.

Now you may come around with 'We won't allow anyone under a certain age to participate.' But what happens when they get smart enough to lie? What if they lie about their age? Hmm? Are you going to go meet them in real life to confirm it? Because I doubt the parents would be up for that either.

This forum would cause more problems than it would be worth.


Not to mention it would probably be a ghost-town type of thing anyway. Because I doubt that the number of members who would actually participate in such roleplays are in such mass here. The forum would never have any activity.

There are dozens of other sites where you can get your fix of mature roleplays.
So just leave this site at a family-friendly position.
