Fine then! I demand a free Snickers bar every time I log on.

If my demands are not met within twenty four hours, I am outta here!

All the snickers bars are mine. All MINE. Don't let the door hit you in the arse on the way out.

Just to clarify, since it's being lied about elsewhere if I'm being told correctly, Tibs didn't say no one has ever reported the violations people are complaining about. He's saying specifically that I've never been reported for breaking the Prime Directive, which is 100% true. If I've ever actually broken it, please report. I'm not allowed to vote on it.

Oh, I forgot to mention this but a few days ago a member of AF was talking to me outside AF, and they happened to let slip that they think I'm too young for AF and should 'spend my youth somewhere else' (kinda paraphrasing but you get the gist). Just want to clarify to anyone else who feels this way (though I'd be pretty surprised if anyone does):a) it's not at all against the rules for me to be here and b) i'm not 'spending my youth here'. That's a crass exaggeration. I've been on online forums since I was 10 (so from 2012) and enjoy reading my posts from a few years ago. It's a reminder of how much I've grown and matured. (As I should, lol, it'd be bad if I didn't mature from 10 to 16). Besides, I don't spend much time on AF, and don't have the time to do so even if I wished. My screen time is restricted, and there's also a bunch of Instagramming I do. I often keep tabs open, so in reality I appear to be online for longer than I actually am, and even then it's not much. I enjoy AF and it's a tiny part of my life which I don't really plan on removing at the moment. If you're uncomfortable with the presence of a 16 year old on a non age restricted forum, there's something wrong with you, not me.

It is not against the forum rules to be young. Nor old, lest we get rid off Min. How about you decide? I spent my youth, and by the sum of it till now, it has been, well, my own and interesting. I am still young, but my body is telling me otherwise.

You sound more mature than I was at your age. That's fo sho.

Hell, she sounds more mature than I do NOW.

Dodo, is the smartest, most mature, most articulate 16 year old on the planet!

I'm certain she'll make a great doctor and move to Australia one day!

So...take the good with the bad?

Nah, don't be silly!

Hey Dodo, did you know that New Zealand has some of the most beautiful landscapes in the world?
I wish I could move there one day ...

And Sydney harbour is to die for as well!

Don't forget your Velcro gloves. :-)

LL, I've decided with 99% certainty that we're shifting to Caboolture in 12 months time.
Your thoughts? Not as hot as Mackay? And just up the road is Mooloolaba and a little further up is Maroochydore.

I run a fan account for a member of the boyband One Direction. Keep that in mind before you start calling me mature. 
Haha but in all seriousness, I was just clarifying in case anyone else thought something similar. Besides, you guys also don't know what else I get up to in my free time, and a bunch of stuff is very typical 16 y/o ish, lol. Although all the questionable stuff, now that's a bit more secretive than the fan account.  It's pretty amusing that people actually think I'm any different maturity-wise than the average teenager. I actually didn't even think AF wouldn't have any people around my age, and I still don't know why that's the case. But it's a good place to be, so whatever.   

Shell B, I was the one who seeked out private correspondence, technically speaking, and the other person hasn't really said anything wrong. Thanks for looking out for me, but I'm good.

Iggy, I have absolutely no aptitude in the medical field, absolutely none. Now if we legalized voluntary euthanasia... maybe.

I have socks older than you, Dodes, but you're okay in my book.
