Due to OFCOM rules introduced July 2025, CIXen must be
over 18 years old. As you must be 18 to have a credit card we carry out a VERIFY call to our card processor.
We do not make a charge and we do not store your card details.
If you do not have a credit card or would prefer to handle age verification in a different way, please contact us.
The CIX Basic account is free of charge, allows you to join up to 10 open forums of
your choice. You can use any of our access methods including the CIX Forums website, CIX Reader for
Windows, Linux (wine) and Android devices, or iXOLR for Apple devices. Full account upgrades are available later.
