So I got an email from someone in Second Life saying “Hey, come listen to me DJ!”
I had just finished up work for the day, so said to myself, Hey, why not. Pixellated bad celtic music sounds about right for me right now.
This ban screen is even funnier when you realize I’m doing this from work.

Does this now make you eligible for the Banned of Lum the Mad?

Competition is TEH BAD!

“Does this now make you eligible for the Banned of Lum the Mad?”
No, it makes him eligible for the Banned of Second Life.
Scott, did you really think they wouldn’t ban you?
#4 by scottj on February 12th, 2007
No, my account’s not banned. Just my work IP. Veddy strange.

D-One, he’s not being banned, his computer/connection is.
Looks like you’ll have to go home to get your furry on, hon.

Curses! Foiled from workfurry!

Maybe someone else from work was crashing the SL grid on their lunch-break?

Great imagination for login names

You didn’t miss anything yesterday anyway. SL has been experiencing one of the worst days in the nearly 2 years I’ve been a resident.
They blame it on a faulty piece of non descript network equipment. But, basically, it means that accessing your inventory was flaky (and not recommended), and so was teleporting, running searches, IM’ing, checking user profiles, … And even logging in required an Act of God. You name it, it didn’t work.
That “ban” (although are you sure that it wasn’t simply a failed login? Can’t remember if that’s just the generic message applied to that too) probably saved you from needless frustration.

PS: Hmm… Looking at the message again, you’re right. I think LL is trying to save you from yourself and workfurry in that one.

No, it makes him a ‘resident’.

Don’t feel bad. I tried to teleport to Scion City to pick my self up one of those 300 linden dollar cars. I got a “You are not allowed entry into this area”. It’s almost like they knew I was going to cover my Scion with dildos.

They’re afraid Richard Garriot will play SL and turn it into Second Seige Perilous Life

I’m pretty much convinced that they’ve got any IPs from other MMO developers blocked. Why? Dunno, but that’s probably why.

You might be trying to steal their TRADE SEKRITS for your evil NCSoft overlords.

Jeff Freeman is funny.
#17 by JuJutsu on February 13th, 2007
“Jeff Freeman is funny”
That’s why he has more users than Second Life

Too bad there are no “Lum The Mad” type ranters left to help you out here. hehe

Dude do not misrepresent my moosics. It was not bad pixellated celtic music. It was not pixellated, nor was it celtic although I do have a show that does that. I even played your request! hmmph.

It’s just as well, 90% of SL is NSFW scripted emote custom-model strap-on cyb0ring, flying cock attacks, and/or fur-pile yiff fests.
It’s a hive of scum and villainy, in other words.
