You are the "owner" of nothing actually, you are the Creator of the idea of the site, not owner. We are merely USING space on a site that indeed belongs to Wikia. Please correct me if Im wrong. Then I will apologize profusely. However that said when you utilize the services of a company, you are bound by the contract between you. (When you accept terms and conditions.) you are also bound by the Laws and Regulations that said company are bound by. That is why some IPs are blocked, because off embargos set in place by the US Government. So you while you may not feel the saftey of children in the US is important, you are held to the standards of companies like Wikia that do.

Beyond, since you obviously care about your site, why nor petition or better yet, why not care for your Community like any mother would her baby. RECRUIT!. Get those people to sign up. Nothing changes. You said it yourself,  "'''How many 13 year olds play a game....." '''So I think you worry a bit too much, so unless you AssUMEd incorrectly, you dont have qany 13 year olds, no probelm, and no reason to disrespect the company you obviously chose. If you are that unhappy why not use a site in Japan, where you follow their rules? No disrespect intended in my post, there are many options you can use to make sure you dont lose your members, before assuming it will die. I think you will find it wont hurt as much as are dread it will. ;)
