I agree with the Neko and Lark's statements above. You will still have people who claim that some practices are fluff when they are practice worldwide and might disagree with certain areas of the occult depending on what they believe in. Please also remember that many people, regardless of age, will make drama and cause issues as well. Just making an adult forum would be pointless. You could actually imagine the number of adults arguing because of different things and loosing interest in the site because of it. Just because an adult is older doesn't mean they know everything and can treat children like they don't or as if the child only know little. I actually know some members who do this and some kids that do this when they shouldn't. Also some of these silly questions are actually good questions, the fluffy questions even, because they help bring new knowledge and revise old information for new comers. There is no harm in that. Every site you see will have some way for a group of fluffs to get in. Adult or not, this is just the internet.

We have an age limit for a reason. If someone really feels the need to add mature content I suggest mailing to whom your wanting to pass it on to.
Its probably just better to write someone a message or have them write you a message posting on the forums won't gain you much privacy as most people tend to reply to forum posts even if you ask for lets say only 22 year olds to reply.

Though I do hate the fact that a lot of people our age have gotten younger people who practice magick a bad wrap, it does make the ones who did take it seriously feel pretty bad. Because with our age people already have problems taking us seriously in a lot of aspects, so in a way, our religion and the way we practice is sort of a serenity that we have the ability to practice to the same extent as everybody else. Please do not mistake how important the craft is to us too.

I must say that I disagree with a lot of people about what "fluff" is. Just because you have never seen it or experienced it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Nor is there any reason to belittle someone or tell them that they are delusional or what they believe is impossible just because it is not the same as what you believe or what you have experienced. I have been a witch the majority of my life and I am severely disappointed in how close minded so many pagans (no matter what path they follow) are, especially on these kind of sites. What a person believes is their truth, and as such should be respected whether you agree with it or not. Age should not matter either.
I have learnt a lot from children on this site.But I always read their profile before replying to a post. We older ones need to be careful of how we "lead" the young in the right direction.
When we tell them that something is impossible, we may be shattering a little girl's dreams. Children see the world as wonderful, and full of dreams.Only as adults do we know the heartaches of life.
Lead the children, yes; but try not to shatter the dreams!
What many of you have said is true; however, the fact of the matter is that it is unlikely that there will be new forums just for adults unless the Site Administrator decides that is what he wishes to see.
