like, this: but you cant use it cuz it's mine. MINE I TELL YOU! MINE!!!

Very good example :yes: but it looks like a bunch of TOS's I've seen thrown into one :P but still, it's really good :luna:

Rule you might want to add is "No members under 13 are permitted to join without using the COPPA Registration Form by law and InvisionFree's TOS" of course you'd need to activate COPPA :P

just put in a disclamer

OcelotJay - even after 7 editions i think it still shows traces of a bunch of TOS added together, i origionally borrowed ideas from a LOT of places, some of them including none other than the IF TOS (which makes up the majority of part 2 actually) and the GOOGLE TOS ans Privacy Policy, other places gave me a bit more to those two. and i added in my own stuff and all that...i worked the exact message of the origional IPB registeration terms and rules into there too.
