Hello all...Jack Miller here. This is a goodbye post, as I have been banned from Second Life today. I finally confessed my true age, 15, to Peter Linden today, and I was promptly kicked from the beta. He said I will be allowed back in once they have the technology to stop minors from entering Mature simulators, but, I won't join at that time, as it prevents me from entering Lindenburg. So, I guess this is goodbye. I am holding back tears as I write this, as I know I will miss SL very much. I am terribly sorry for lying to everyone, but, I wanted to play SL so badly that I felt it was necessary. I pray that my forum account isnt removed so I can at least read the forums occasionally.

Aw geez, sorry to hear that:(
I guess because the players controll the content it must be a lot harder on Lindens to police what is actually in the game. It could lead to all sorts of sticky legal messes. Having left my teens behind awhile ago now something like this would never occur to me.
But don't go forever, Come back when they're ready for you.
Hope you get to stay on the boards too.

Jack, I had a great time riding on your boat! I hope you can come back very soon.

We'll work as fast as we can to get the system to a point where we can make it support you.

As to ratings of simulators (Lindenburg), don't dismay! Our intent is to give the land owners of a sim the ability to change that sim's rating if they vote to do so. So maybe it becomes a PG sim at some point (for example if the gang there wants it to be a big commercial center where everyone can come, etc).

In memory of our friend Jack Miller I plan to carry out his last will and testament.
Before he was banned, Jack requisitioned me to design a SL postal system. I was only supposed to be writing scripts, but now, in Jack's absence I plan to carry the torch he started.
The system will be partially automated, but will rely on hired mail(men|women) to deliver packages and letters, so I will need to hire couriers. More details will be forthcoming.

Jack, we'll miss you,
(ps. I used to lie about my age all the time when I was < 18)

well jack you certainly fooled me :D there's only one person in the game right now who i'd be convinced was lieing about his age (*coughsnoopypicocough*) but he doesn't read the forums anyway :-\

you'll be missed jack, you were one of the first people i recognized in-game, and i considered you a rather good regular to the game :(

so... yeah... grow faster! :mad:

You know, I was considering adding a PG room to the chat and letting you back in to that room only. As I told you last night, several of the chatters don't want to have to monitor their language / topic of discussion simply because there is a minor in the room. Yes, most 15 year olds do know all the dirty words which might be said, and most do think they know everything there is to know about certain Mature subjects, but that's -not- the point. The point is that responsible, mature adults do not use those words or talk about those subjects in front of minors. Yes, you are the same Jack Miller who was in the chat prior to your temporary ban from SL, but -- and here's the key point -- when I activated your chat account, I did so under the assumption that you were an adult.

I'm sorry, Jack, but after last night's threat, rant, and negative rating, I simply don't care to reinstate your chat account.

That is fine Shebang, I already told you that I don't want to be let back into your chat if I am not wanted by people. I had a feeling this would happen, which was why I was going to leave SL in the first place. I decided not to leave because I really do love SL, and, if no one wants to talk to me, then that is their problem. I will become a hermit if need be.
