What is Digg?242 Comments
- WhereAmI, on 11/27/2007, -7/+266I lied about my birthday and still do even though I'm 19. Why would you say you were a minor? I've been lying about my age since middle school, so unless I'm some diabolical bastard, why didn't those of you with this problem lie?
- TheHolyLancer, on 11/27/2007, -1/+232My birthday is usually oct 4, 1902 for anything that needs any kind of age check...
- Synthesize, on 11/27/2007, -9/+212If you call customer support with this issue, their ***** solution is to make another account. This results in losing all your gamerscore and games you have paid for that are tagged to that account. I find this nonsense.
- sockpuppets, on 11/27/2007, -2/+189In my day we didn't have xboxes, we threw rocks at each other and made candy out of oatmeal. And we liked it!
- dickbain, on 11/27/2007, -4/+190"You can not view dashboard ads... or use MSN messenger."
These sound like features to me. - estvir, on 11/27/2007, -2/+110"Regarding those who have child accounts but who are now over 18..we are very aware of this and we are working on the technology to properly 'graduate' your account (the official term.) We'll have details on this very soon ;)"

IM SHOOTING YOU NOW STOP, I STRAFE LEFT TO AVOID YOUR FIRE STOP quit yer bitchin.
- DFENS, on 11/27/2007, -18/+92I bet they require your maturity to be at the level of an 18 year old. Judging from your anger of not using messenger or having the same ads as everyone else, I think you've got the appropriate setting.
- JanYpe, on 11/27/2007, -13/+84You don't sound much like an adult. Maybe Microsoft passed judgment on you as well and found you lacking?
- AndrewDB, on 01/10/2008, -1/+71Yeah?.. In my day, we made candy out of rocks. Consider yourself lucky youngin.
- inactive, on 11/27/2007, -1/+68Since when has anyone under 18 been honest with his age? I know kids in middle school who know more about porn than a bloody adult!
- JanYpe, on 11/27/2007, -1/+67At least you had rocks. Now in my day we had it tough. We had to imagine the rocks we would make the candy out of.
- jcaino, on 11/27/2007, -1/+62don't you know that 90% of the time, early adopters get screwed.
- ACrazyGerman, on 11/27/2007, -4/+61Wow these kids sure are bitchy.
- AndrewDB, on 01/10/2008, -0/+53When we got the rocks.. we lost our imagination, and it marked the loss of innocence.

posted 2 days ago on his blog. - inactive, on 11/27/2007, -0/+41Not being able to view the ads sounds like a plus
- houndeyex, on 11/27/2007, -2/+42January 1st, 1900. Whatever's first in the drop-down lists.
- MWeather, on 11/27/2007, -1/+38In my day we wore onions on our belts.
- Schmidtopolis, on 11/27/2007, -0/+35As was the style back then
- kinseyincanada, on 11/27/2007, -3/+37can i go back and get a account that i dont get to see annoying ads for a car? and dont get to use messenger which is a annoying part of it anyway.
- MiDri, on 11/27/2007, -0/+31There is no way my parents had access to as much porn as I did as a kid, I had the internet -- they had the sears catalog...
- notque, on 11/27/2007, -1/+30You are complaining about not being able to view ads.
Well, I've seen everything. I'd much rather not view ads, not have msn messenger. Can we switch our accounts from adult to kids? - SIRBERUS, on 11/27/2007, -0/+29You're right... it was an awful time.
- NSMike, on 11/27/2007, -3/+30Gee, how hard is this...
If
TodaysDate - BirthDate >= 18
Then
ActivateAdultAccount = True
Else
ActivateAdultAccount = False - AwesomeAndy, on 11/27/2007, -2/+27When did you make your account?
- inactive, on 11/27/2007, -1/+26the submitter is the same person who can't visit any liquor websites
- pictureDIGGER, on 11/27/2007, -1/+24Anytime you enter information on the internet, ask yourself, are they going to check. Answer, no. Sometimes you need a real email. Most of the time I am 'Not Today' from '1 Internet St, [Insert fake ISP here], HI 41337'
- objectcode, on 11/27/2007, -0/+22so every time i enter a porn site and they ask me if i'm 18, i should just click yes? had i know i could have just lied, i might have been able to look at porn all the times i tried to get in
- Amadeus2490, on 11/27/2007, -0/+18This reminds me of the time when Marge told Chief Wiggum she lived on 123 Fake ST.
- anonymous666, on 11/27/2007, -0/+18Nah, he's just not Y2K-compliant
- IllBeBack, on 11/27/2007, -0/+18That much code will take a gaggle of Indian programmers several months to perfect.
- raynar, on 11/27/2007, -4/+21No, they dont. They took care of mine. Try it instead of bitching about it because its cool.
- zantos420, on 11/27/2007, -2/+17they threaten you like you are not a costumer? what?
- daridave, on 11/27/2007, -10/+25That's their solutions? Way to promote stupidity! Can anyone remind them that we're PAYING for this service? I'm starting to get fed up with Microsoft -- we pay for Xbox Live, yet we are threated like absolute *****, not costumers. Fix it up, damn it!
- Stradenko, on 11/27/2007, -9/+24101? More like 1.
- inactive, on 11/27/2007, -7/+21if your going to have a free online service, at least have games to play online.
- greebowarrior, on 11/27/2007, -0/+14no point, he'll just get fired for being on digg all day
- spidoman, on 11/27/2007, -1/+15The technology? Yes, account permission changes are advanced "technology"
- AgentMull, on 11/27/2007, -0/+13I read that in JD's reminiscing voice.
- sexybobo, on 11/27/2007, -0/+13No 2girls1cup 8mm movies in the sears catalog?
- g4blows, on 11/27/2007, -0/+13Am I the only one that when I was under 18 would always lie about my age on these types of things anyway? It's not like you get any better content because you are younger.
- socer85, on 11/27/2007, -1/+14If it isn't fair, then don't pay them.
- SteveMax, on 11/27/2007, -1/+14Wow, your lie about your age still makes you a couple of months younger than I am. I really feel old now :(
- blobzorz, on 11/27/2007, -0/+13You also can't compete in any Live competitions since your "under the age of 18".... I signed up with child account 3 months before my 18th, so I decided not to lie about my age as usual...
Bad idea. - MWeather, on 11/27/2007, -0/+12"I bet they require your maturity to be at the level of an 18 year old."
Then they wouldn't bother cosing adult-only features. Nobody would be allowed to use it. - BannaEast, on 11/27/2007, -0/+11Funny how the same day this is posted people start giving out
- epj3, on 11/27/2007, -3/+13I've been lying about my age since I first discovered pornography online (at least 12 years ago)
- luchid, on 11/27/2007, -1/+11Yay! It only took them 2 whole years!
