So let's look at the legalities of things...yes teenagers should be able to do business here, especially if they have PAID for a lifetime membership in which there was a digital contract made by DN Forum after payment was issued for membership.

IF a 17 year-old can drive in most states, why restrict them from DNF? A 17 year-old can also go into the military (with parental permission), etc.

So I say YES, teens should be able to do business here. There are many teenage entrepreneurs anyway. You'd be surprised at how many refunds you'd have to issue by terminating accounts that are linked to people age 17 and younger..
Maybe you should read the TOS of the registrars you deal with. I'm not sure what law you are referring to that says 13 year olds can own domains.
