In addition, she will, as we all have done, make REAL friends - people who are 'on the same wavelength', have the same interests, and likes and dislikes.

While 'cyber life' should never replace real life, and no kids should ever overuse the internet to 'live their lives by proxy', expanding her circle of friends and her knowledge, and honing her communication skills, is always a good thing.

Let her join, but educate her on what to expect from certain members by giving her a potted 'bio' - you know; 'LT is a wind up merchant' and 'Kirk is utterly brilliant' :hee: - that sort of thing.

If little Mokka is half as nice a person as her mum, the forum will be the winner.

Yes Kirk you are utterly brilliant and LT may be a wind up - but not malicious or mean with it.

Honestly, those threads are a ****ing mess these days, I dont even read them at all unless a report comes in and then I have to and I feel like clawing my ****ing eyes out

It depends. I think she would probably have to deal with the multi stuff, because i think in the multis eyes, attacking someones daughter would be absolutely hilarious and full of bants, so if she's strong enough to not care about all that stuff, then yeah sure, why not? But at 15 a lot of kids get upset by what they get said to them on the internet, which is fair enough, it takes a while to get used to things not upsetting you.

That would be my only concern really. There was never really anyone that vile when I joined, but there was like 18+ stuff posted which wasnt a bit deal cause i was 15/16 anyway

quite, in my day as a teen if there was such a thing as a chat thread we would have talked like this

---------------------------------------------------------------


LT: I say that Suzy Quattro is a bit of alight

Ross: She isnt half although I rather like Alvin Stardust

Marsh: :suspect: I say Ross that seems a little queer


Ross: no, wait, i mean i like his music

LT: yes he does have some great hits to his name


Glenn: I must say I really like The Rollers, especially the bass player


Kirk: :suspect: Whoooah there my old chum, lets not have any of that nonsense


(Glenn and Ross get 7 day bans for filth and being suspected of being a homosexual)


:hee:
