Teen-only Conference on Zone BBS By Phone

Since there are already three adult-only conferences, is it possible to have at least one conference just for teens, or people under the age of eighteen? I'm eighteen now myself, but I know I would have really liked that idea last year.

oh for sure. that's a great idea. then we'd have the general confrences, the adult confrences and the teen one. make everyone happy. the trouble with the general confrence is that anyone can go in to them, that's why i am for this idea

I think a teen conference would not be fair but beneficial to those who only care to talk to people around their age group. I'm actually surprised it hasn't already been implemented.

I meant that it would not only be fair. Sorry. It would be both fair and beneficial.

it's a nice idea, but if you really want to talk to just teens then just create a private confrence? it's not that easy to just add confrence numbers on to ZBP. Chris N actually has to do some coding and play around with ZBP to do it. like i said, nice idea, and one that probablly should have been done. btw, i'm not knocking the idea, just pointing out some facts, so don't start screaming and yelling.

um, he did it for the adults, do it for the teen people too. I don't really care, lol. But for the people who wants it. that'd be fair

Though it wouldn't affect me in any way, I think it's only fair to the teens. We have places we can go where they can't join, so it should work the other way around.

Exactly. That's exactly what I mean. Besides, there's not always a premium member who can create a private conference.

I remain indifferent on this topic because barely any of my friends are under age eighteen. But as for those in favor of this, I think that since conference five is the least used conference, it should be turned into the teen-only conference.

I think that the option for private conferences should be moved to 9 instead of 6 and have confs 1 to 5 as they are now. but have conf7 as a teen-only conference and conf8 as the adult-only conference.

Just my opinions anyway.

I'll pass this on to the other CL's and admins, guys.

Hmm. From what I've read, it sounds like a good idea. But Jessica, if a teen-only confrence was created, I don't know how long it would last, or if it would last at all. Just my point on the matter.

If this were to happen it would be a disaster. Some random person could easally join and go in to this conference and try to get personal information from any of the teens.

not if they do what they do for the adult ones, otherwise the same could be argued for that as well... put a max age at say 17, just like the min age for the adults is 18... it's only fair... and, yes i agree that that is a good idea.

i think it should be done even though in a year i will be too old lol. i don't care but it is a good idea

To post 13: Ya obviously didn't think about the fact that conditionals can be used to set a max age, like they do for the adult-only confs. Just a simple query to the database could give us the right information.

Oh my squash! Poster ten, you have a wonderful idea! I think private conferencing should retain its current number in the conference menu, but there are ... what ... three adult conferences? One of those could just be turned into a teen-only conference: conference 7 perhaps? Awesome idea, professional!

Very good idea.
