Curious, if you're 13 now, did you get your parents to sign a COPPA form when you first joined here 2 years ago?

Who didn't? ;D

You're taller than me. That's just unacceptable. I will have to take some sort of action against you, my friend.

No, I just registered without us having to sign a COPPA...

Possible that I didn't fill in any age, though, because I believe I filled it in later on.

(might have looked different back then though, I don't remember when the registration page was updated to this ugly one)

Not that I'm judging anyone. I was 12 when I signed on, and just over 13 when I got on the team. :P

Cool people don't have to brag. If what they're doing is really all that cool, others will see it for what it is without the person dancing around, shouting "Look at how AWESOME I AM!"

Having a good IDE doesn't make you a good programmer, any more than having Photoshop makes you a good artist, or sitting in your garage makes you a Ferrari. People make good tools, but tools don't make good people. :P

No such thing as VB in my day. My first PC had a floppy drive and two cartridge drives, no hard drive. Some of my programs I made spanned multiple floppy disk, lol.

Age: 13

I'm sometimes amazed when I find out the age of some members around here.

Keep up the good work and I wish you the best of luck with what ever you decide to do in the future.
