Important: Must Read - Users must be Age Verified to gain access to the entire Forum

While we hate doing this, our hand is being forced to due to ever changing laws in several areas.

However, we are basically doing the bare minimum to abide to those laws -- due to the inherent logistical challenges they pose, especially regarding User Privacy and how enforcing ID laws on the internet can lead to privacy leaks.

We have locked out access to all of the Forums except the Welcome Threads to all users who have not Verified their age.

To verify your age we need the following:
1.  An EDITED photo of your ID that shows ONLY your picture and DOB, along with State/Country of issuance (we need to be able to verify VALID IDs) -- with your username written on a piece of paper next to the ID.
2.  A selfie of yourself HOLDING the EDITED ID -- this is so we can verify that you are the person who owns the ID.

You have 2 ways to submit your Age Verification:

1.  You can upload it as a reply to this thread and we will be notified.
Warning: This thread is Public and all users can see it.

2.  You can use the eMail you used to register an account to send the ID to [e-mail]
You must use the eMail address you used to register/sign in to the forums.
Use "Drako's Den Forums Verification" as the subject of your eMail.

We will have to store this information so that we can access it easily in case there is a law enforcement inquiry regarding users' access to our site.
