using usergroups wouldn't be very practical since you would need to have a diff usergroup for each age.
For example if i had a forum that had three diff age required forums one for 15 one for 14 and one for 18 i would have to create three usergroups for each, then mod the promotions function to move each user up to the diff groups.
Using a Cron job would add an extra load onto your server which is not my aim, The current version uses vbulletins form cache data to do it's checking and never involves any extra mysql or external services to be run
i will look into this problem and get back to you.
