How can I remove the login form that comes in Kunena?

No problem, but that is yet another different question. Again (it doesn't take very long to search the forum for answers) I will direct you to where your question has been asked and answered: [Merged Topic] Disable Registration and Login

As far as your other questions just asked in this topic that seems to have more to do about finding how to screen underage users from registration, please use a more appropriate category/topic for those things and let's try to remain on topic.

As I said originally there is no system to stop a child from registering on your website, unless you require them to provide proof they are over 18 (or whatever age you consider to be a child), such as a passport, credit card (which can be faked). The current 'Enter date of birth' stuff you get when viewing adult rated games or porn sites are easily circumvented with a Yes I am 18 or entering 1 Jan 1901 as your D.O.B. and any kid that can use a PC and read can get around that.

So unless you mean to personally meet each registrant to validate their age claim, well, there you have it.

I want to limit my forum to 18 years old and above. How can i do it?

Maybe something like this?
extensions.joomla.org/search?q=age+check

All registration is handled by Joomla, so using an extension such as the one linked by rich is the way to go.

One of the most important things, that many people fail to understand, is that, unlike free-standing web-based discussion forums, there is no "forum registration" procedure that users are required to do. Kunena is a Joomla component. In other words, in order for your users to use the Joomla components that you have installed on your Joomla website, your users have to go through whatever Joomla user registration procedure that you have setup for your users; populating the Kunena user profiles is performed automatically after that.

So, while Kunena has its own database table that holds extra information about the forum users, there is no such thing as a Kunena "user registration procedure" per se that is independent of the site registration procedure. There is no such thing as a Kunena "registration page" page - there is only the "registration page" page created by the Joomla component that handles site registration.

It is very important to realise the distinction.

On the one hand, free-standing forums (e.g. phpBB, SMF, punBB, etc.) all have their own forum registration procedures that operate independently of other components that people may have installed on their websites (and that's one of the reasons that makes them more complicated if people want to use them with Joomla). On the other hand Kunena does not have a separate forum registration procedure. I do not know how many times we have tried to get this message across but people still think that there's some kind of "forum registration" when there isn't one. People still confuse forum registration with site registration and Kunena is not responsible for site registration nor with issues arising from site registration.

So that's why your topic has been merged here (together with other questions asked on this forum over time) on the subject of "forum registration" problems.

Cheers and good luck.
