    Reading the forums, it seems as if this is one of a new breed of website that authenticates its 'confirmation' forms against an actual database of people/ages. So you can't just fill in a bunch of nonsense. If this is true, it's absolutely terrifying on so many levels.

    Probably not the best forum to get into this but.....

    maybe some sort of legal/official recognised "virtual" ID is required. It could be organised much the same way as a passport (eg only given at Garda stations for example with official ID) but have no real value out in the real world. That way everyone only has one Internet ID that has minimal info on who you are (preferably just a name, that is still kept private)... hmmm tricky one that..... need to think more on the matter.
    Hmm, better still. When you initialy get your Internet ID (IID) :) you have to fill in a few pieces of info -> Username, Age, Secret Password etc. Then whenever you use the IID number to register for some site you have to reenter the Username etc. to confirm you are who you say you are..... Just a thought. Still have problems with people stealing other peoples IIDs.

    Where does the "experience" link go when you get past the regestration? Is it clips from the movie?
