I got that message about a year ago :/

I'm trying to make sense of this to see why some are getting the message, and why others aren't.

I think it's because for those of us who have already put something in for our b-day on our profile [mine, last i checked lied because like you, I wished to leave my b-day somewhat secret.] we haven't gotten the message. Heh that sounds a little mean to myself. "we haven't gotten the message" but anywho you know what I'm talking about. I only was forced to put my b-day in because as I recall I went to change something with my settings and take a peek at what the name/b-day changing page looks like and I had some sort of issue backing out of that page without changing my b-day... or something along those lines. my memory's a bit fuzzy today.

Okay~ that's what I was assuming, but~ I didn't just want to assume. Thanks for telling me. :3
Oh yeah! I remember something like that. ^^ Changing a letter in your name from capital to lowercase doesn't count as a name change, so you can do that all you want~ I used to do that here and there until one day when I couldn't because they were forcing me to input a birthday and I didn't want to. So~~ I should just lie about this whole birthday thing and get over it. B]

Yes, assuming can get a person into trouble sometimes. Glad I could be some help! ^_^
That explains why I never see you with random letters capitalized anymore..

The signing up for the new ToS, or having to enter your birthdate twice into the screen before they let you do anything? ^^;;
You already input a birthday when you sign up, right? So maybe they didn't ask you today? ...I've seen a bunch of threads in the QnA asking about this. ^^;

@Tokyo: I know, right? O: I understand why they're doing it... I just don't like it. XD; I don't want my brithday displayed for all to see.
I'm trying to make sense of this to see why some are getting the message, and why others aren't. Did you have your birthday section blank too?

the age-o- meter thing.
I havn't gotten any such message since then. And that wasn't even on this account. I already knew about the rules on the age thing.

Yeah, i think what OK and I have come up with, if you already have a birthdate listed, then they don't need to bother you with this message. Buut~ people who listed a birthdate under thirteen have been deactivated until they hit thriteen. x.x
Oh yes, I should hope that everyone knows about the rules. Gaia's just.. cracking down on them. I don't like how I have no option to turn off the birthday on my profile unless I get rid of the whole little box with my account info on it... Eheh, the QnA is overloaded with questions on it right now. ...Like~ someone joked around and said that he was born in 2007. ...He's currently locked out of his account for a long time. x.x
And~ there was once an option to say that you were under thirteen, but had parental consent. ...That had since been taken away.. and those accounts have been deactivated. ..Rightly so, since they are underage... it just sucks for them. ^^;;

That's really sad to hear, I know that they don't want young users on gaia but that kind of action isn't smart. The person can just make another account anyways.
It's differnt if you have old school profiles.
Well the kid shouldn't of jokes around like that but think about the new way to do saving. Just put a small fortune on an account and then claim it's 12 years old a year later you have some nice gold coming out for you.
Yest another reason not to be honest on gaia.

^^ Yeah~ but till then they're locked out of all their items. @.@;
^^ Yeah~ I'm wondering if it can be tweaked for new school too though. PX
XDD That would be a savings account~~ For the person who's really serious about it. x.x I don't think I could ever do something like that. Maybe i'd be questing and need one of the things I locked away to finish that quest~ and you wouldn't have it~~
XD; I guess ya gotta do what'cha gotta do...

It's better then loosing it al together.
Well there are two different sections on the profile part. if you take out the b-day you alsoe loose location and things like that.
I wouldn't use it. A year is a long time.
Yeah but that's so american of them XD;;

I think, I was what? 14 when I joined Gaia...so why the heck should ppl know my b-day too. I don't want ppl telling me Happy Birthday if they aren't going to give me something off of my wishlist...I have 200 gold items...even a uber noob can give me one of those.

Supre off topic...
(*I buy all my items off of ppl in the market places with reasonable prices...so I kinda "save" my gold for others. I think of it this way...I buy something for me and donate something to them. Not really "donate-donate" but I know that they are getting more than they would if they sold it back to the store. I'd rather give my gold to an actual user instead of an [NPC]...who isn't going to use it for anything stare *)
