I'm surprised you heard asking users for their ages was okay. Your first thought was right: It is against the terms of use, namely this part:


 * Post or transmit any communication or solicitation designed or intended to obtain password, account, or private information from any Wikia user;
 * Solicit personal information from any user under the age of 18;

You can never know who is under 18, so it's basically not okay to ask any user for their age.

I think your topic suggestion for next week is a good one. There are some misconceptions around the terms of use - for example, whether admins have to report and/or block underage users when they find out, or when block evasion is cause for a global block - and it would be great to talk about them.
