Yeah, there will always be exceptions WRT to maturity below the age of 18
(and above, for that matter!), but 18 happens to be really convenient
because every member stated truthfully that they were 18 or older when they
signed up for LUGNET, so it would seem to me that that would make it easier
logistically to impliment an adults-only section (though I admit that that
may not actually be the case).

Firstly, yes, that would more-or-less work for existing usership, but new users
would be free to lie all they want. Second, everything I’ve seen says that
making a pointedly “adults only” section is just going to make the situation
worse, as far as parents finding the content objectionable for underage viewing
is concerned.
