Force 18 and over at Registration Time.

I must have been asking for this for at least 3 months now. This is a patch to me not really a fix.

What this modification does:
When a new user (sorry only works for new users) Signs up on your forum they will have to enter an age that is 18 years and up. Once they do this and complete the registration they can not change the year they inputted at registration time.

What is the point of this???
Well this is the biggest thing I have seen that gives no control to the vB admin.

Users can sign up saying they are 18 and then once they are members change the year back to the age they really are (say 15) Issues occur when other users see this (esp. a 18 and older forum) They become concerned about the young users on the site.

Of course people can lie. But at least it is forced now (like their user name) once they enter the age.

In some countries and some states in the US you have to have something like this.

I do hope this helps everyone who needs it.

Works with 3.0.x up to 6

edit. Im at work so try this...
Change in the hack:

if ( $month == 0 OR ! preg_match ( "!^(19[0-9]{2}|200[0-5]{1})$!", $year ) )

to:

if ( $month == 0 OR ! preg_match ( '!^(19[0-9]{2}|200[0-5]{1})$!', $year ) )
