Hi -
Yes I remember that - Vern & I emailed about it at the time. I do not think there should/needs to be a special kids area - just to remember that kids have a lot of gaming friends and are very computer savvy. There are also a lot of parents looking for safe and friendly games for their children. MM is the perfect game choice. (My grandchildren (6&8) spend a good deal of time at The Penguin Club - they navigate the areas better than I can. It's an interesting site if you have "young" friends). I guess because I love MM, I think we should be receptive to and encourage younger attempts to create and communicate, too. Back to the topic, I think the new look of the boards is much friendlier all the way around.
