Yes due to rules and regulations set in place by COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act) you must be 13 or older to register on the site. These laws are put in place to protect young users while online. If you are found to be under 13 and on Answers.com you risk having your account suspended until your 13th birthday.

This is due to a law called COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act), which applies to all websites, not just Answers.com.
In other words, it is illegal to have an account on Answers, Facebook, Twitter, Wikipedia and so on if you are under 13 years old. An exception applies to educational and gaming websites, which you can join and play as long as you have parental supervision at all times.
Answers.com has to abide by the law. If you are found to be in violation of the law (eg you are under aged), Answers.com will have to take appropriate action. The law exists to protect youths from the dangers online.

∙ 7y agoYes-- really. All websites use COPPA, which regulates the age at which a child can sign into websites. If a child is found to be using Answers.com, the Staff would have to take action to protect the child.
