You might just create the new Facebook for Pre-Teens. You could even call it Preteenbook.com. I say go for it and cash in.
Sounds like 'Crash'

*sigh*You realize of course in regards to "Spam", robots.txt does not do jack shit, since spammers and the bots that spam, ignore that file, and legitimate services that obey robots.txt (which is for spidering not saying 'don't post here'), wouldn't be posting spam anyways.
Thanks for all the serious responses. Great info on locking down forums from spam and issues to think about.
+ reps to kblessinggr & turbolapp (then I ran out or I would've rep'd to others for providing information to consider as well!).
I think the thread has run it's course!
I have two daughters about that age. I'm planning on locking them in a closet with 2 nintendo DS's, a bag of chocolate chip cookies, and some water.
I'll let them out when they are 30.
Thanks Turbo - Good Advice. That is why I keep putting it off. She just doesn't understand my concerns. I'm still not sure if I'll do it or not as it seems risky or could even turn into a major pain.
I would be happy to assist you in this matter.
No - I don't plan to continue with setting up the forum!
Too much hassle and potential bad outcomes.
