Re: Take the pledge!
Yeah, making your age declarations here really isn't much use at all. The notion here is to publicly vow to abide by the age restrictions for adult games and to encourage others to do the same if you happen to come across instances where age statements have not been taken or people have falsified their age declaration. While all the age declarations have been encouraging, they are, ultimately, of little use here, because if there's a question about the legitimacy of age statements in an adult game, odds are extremely long against someone coming here to search through this thread for a corroborating age statement.
Make them in the game, as part of your initial Request-to-Join, and if your GM doesn't ask you for one for an Adult game, offer one anyway, and then encourage your GM to revise his/her policy to be compliant with site policies.
