Our site for example does not have any adult forum yet and we are still wondering whether it will have one in the future. I cannot imagine that blocking guests from such a section would have much impact on us. We would need to focus on adult content to make this happen and that is not what we intend to do.

The adult market - particularly video - is a huge one. If you can tap into it, there is huge advertising revenue potential.

Yes, but if you don't tell them *why* it is needed initially (compulsory at registration ideally), then they are likely to enter their real DOB.
Make their DOB non-editable so they can't change it themselves.
Then when they come to access a forum for which they need to be 18, they may give you some tale that they entered the wrong DOB and ask you to change it for them. We ask them to fax over proof.
