It isn't anything we can control or really enforce. A lot of websites have this (Youtube, Facebook etc), but Wikia doesn't seem to actively hunt for people under the age of 13. Really the act says that anyone under the age of 13 shouldn't be posting any information on websites or the website could be shut down. Pretty much, as long as you don't act like the average 11/12 year old you should be fine enough to stay "in hiding". I spent 2 years in hiding on a site that actively hunted for people younger than 13 and I survived easily, I'd say that you (and CS and Owen) would be fine on that site if you didn't mention your age.
