Basic Account Inactivity

Liquid, I used to have a friend in the service in Iraq and he was able to access sl. Not very good though I might say. He said that his superiors were the ones with the good connections. There were many times that he could not move his avi, but he could most definitely IM me and I could tp to him.

/me gives him a gentle hug and kiss before he leaves. Be safe our hero!!

Not at all, I would say the same to UM.

As do I. Thank you to all who serve their country or community, especially those who have made the ultimate sacrifice. God Bless You All.

Gee Brenda,your sig line is making me all warm and fuzzy inside.

Kira, it depends on where you are in country, and what you do. I'm centralized outside Fallujah, and our network blocks almost everything, as well as various outgoing ports, including the one the SL client requires. It's a security measure.

Thank you for the kind gesture!

Good luck Liquid! And thank you! Take care of yourself.

one last post here, thank you Liquid.

You're the ones who are important! Just try and be a good person, I'll do the same, and we'll all be happy.

Dude .. why do you feel the need to post the reason for your absence?

You chose your career and also your employer.

You don't have to "switch" to basic because you can't log in .. direct debit means nothing to you ?

As for all the avatars thanking you .. I don't know why . other than the US greed for the black stuff .. Supp ? Texas running low ?

If you're implying that I'm looking for some kind of glorification or recognition, you're wrong. Personally, I don't agree with us being here. Most of us want it to end so we don't have to deploy every seven months or every other year. Now if you think about it, we could up and leave... and in our wake, leave a country in complete ruins. You have no idea what we are doing for these people. The US greed for the black stuff? You're nothing but a happy consumer who sits on their ass watching CNN. You want a reality check? Live it.

And for switching to basic... why pay for a feature I don't use? Direct debit has nothing to do with it. When I'm home, I pay a cellphone bill. When I deploy, I have the account frozen so that I'm not billed for a phone service I can't use. Yeah, I could use direct debit and have them charge me while I'm out here... doesn't make much sense, though, now does it?

I don't know you reasons for including the reason for you being absent .. it does'nt make any diffrence to the answer you would recieve.

You could end up and leave ? .. I dare ya. Court martial ? .. even if you could find transport back home.

In your wake .. yes !! your wake.. seems Iraq civillians ( the law abiding ones ) were better off before " your wake " hit them.

Consumer lol .. no I don't need the oil your killing for.

And your war makes sense ?

gee, much hate in this one.

Many people mention why they are not going to be able to log in.

Debit on a service he can not use = wasted money

As for the last, a soldier doesn't set policy or pick the fights. The reasons for being one vary, but regardless they sign a line that basically puts them on a firing line for others. They catch the misguided hate of those that disagree with their countries policies, and at times are risking their lives because they feel a duty to defend the people they care about.

You got a problem with a country take it out on the leadership, not the guys in the trenches who want to do what they can to protect what they feel is precious enough to risk death for.

I'm starting to regret stating the reason for my absence. I never asked for anyone's thanks. As for where this thread is headed, I refuse to continue. I'm not about to engage in this kind of argument. I received a lot of helpful information, and that's all I needed. For those of you who provided it, I thank you.

a soldier " does his job" defined by " teh man" .. as you say the reasons vary. .. conscription is not one of them.

"Misguided hate" your words and beliefs dude .. I hate no one. I'm not running around peoples countries with a gun.


"not the guys in the trenches who want to do what they can to protect what they feel is precious enough to risk death for"

Like I sggested ..OIL

You should'nt have gone there mate.

I learned the ways of teh interweb .. sux royal .. you try to be open and freindly..
some shit finds a crack and opens it.

be safe dude . and keep your safety on.
Regards always.

naaa you just run around the forums shootin your mouth off

and thats killing innocent people or looking for sympathy ?

Don't feed the troll.

TY, I forgot for a moment!!

I recall from conversations with an SL friend in a similar situation that your access is likely to be poor if at all existant. I would advise the use of Ajaxlife and Sleek - you may have the odd period where you have access, but it will not be reliable at all, no matter where you are posted.

For the record I am most utterly opposed to said conflict, far more than even the average "war protestor", but really, it isn't as if giving some random person grief on the Internet is going to achieve anything here. If anyone cares to ask for advice on whether or not to join the military or the ethics of said pursuit I would quite happily give them my opinion. Advice on the likelihood of SL connectivity is another matter.

Offers pacifiers all round to the offended .. popcorn to everyone else .. enjoy.

Strife .. please lock this post .. the answers needed have been gained and it's turned political. SELF Reported. TNX

Racal if you want people to stop fighting for oil, stop using anything that requires oil.....
