On a side note if you dont need the mod fine dont use it but dont go around calling mods pointless, at the end of the day you may not need it but someone else may, i wrote this mod a while back and 100+ installs dont seem to show it being pointless!

I guess your right but i already pay for a facility that age checks people using their credit card details if they choose to enter 18+.

It's a pricey plugin but you cannot lie about your age then, after all i wouldnt want my kids to lie about their age and then see something they shouldnt causing a whole lot of problems.
