Why require age verification? Seriously

So I can go to the Diablo IV forum, a recent game that would appeal to basically the kiddies. I can go right in and post away or read nonsense.

Yet entering D2R forum I am asked to do Age Verification. Could you do it any worse? Why yes, in Chrome on multiple computers the page can often just lock up, or if it does work it will take forever to be able to select a year. Did you know I was born in any random year from 1954 to 2003?

So you ask for Age Verification on the new game that certainly has a lot of younger folks visiting, yet the 25 year old game that probably caters to crusty old folks like me you do check? Adding salt to the wound, your script is junk and there are times I have to switch to another browser because the page is so unresponsive that it fails out
