Yep, I know. The message wasn't really for IP users. It was for our users with accounts, who were far more likely to have been following the "COPPA saga" that had been playing itself out at w:c:community. We literally didn't know until 1 July exactly how we were going to be affected, so it was important for me to share with those who had been following the story with interest.

That said, it's still possible for an IP user to stumble across any forum thread, so I included a link to Special:Signup — just in case.
