TSL Emporium, TSL Profiles, stats.katharineberry.co.uk and the online status system have all been shut down as of now.
TSLE balances have all been refunded, and use of the site is impossible. TSLP returns a 404, stats returns 403. The online status system returns “Offline” if you’re using the images, “The online status system is down or overloaded.” if you’re using the text, and “-2″ if you’re using the numeric output. Anyone using the forum GreaseMonkey script will see “(unknown)” for everyone.
How depressing:(
Katharine, I probably won’t ever see you again. I hope our paths cross again, someday. You’re an amazing person.

/me already misses the TSLP mac widget and Katharine.
I forgot that widget even existed. >.>
I use(d) it every day for the past months.
*Sigh*
I suppose I’ll have to keep the SL website open now. (Unless of course Katharine decided to come back to SL. Yay coming back to SL!) You’d be welcomed with open arms Kath, even if you don’t reactivate the widget. : P
Kath, you’re quitting?
I’m really sorry to hear that, i hope i had nothing to do with why you quit, and if i did, i am sincerely sorry.
Goodbye Kath…
Although i never officially “met you” in SL, you are by far the most smart, entrepreneurial, kind, informative, and giving person on the grid, nearly everyone i know was talking about you leaving! If I may ask…why are you leaving us?
She isnt QUITTING just not contributing majorly towards SL anymore, she also sold and im guessing successfully transferred her sim to Mercury Metropolitan.
So…
Sad to see all the things that you have brought down for this sort of thing.
Hopefully youll return to us.

Hmm.. btw – not sure if this would be useful/interesting to you… I just found this:
http://secondlife.com/corporate/tos.php
2.2 You must be 13 years of age or older to access Second Life; minors over the age of 13 are only permitted in a separate area, which adults are generally prohibited from using. Linden Lab cannot absolutely control whether minors or adults gain unauthorized access to the Service.
Oddly enough it was 18 years before, now it reads 13….. So if your concern is with the Teen Grid rather than SL in general and you are interested to look at the messy world of the big grid – I guess you could give it a shot
Heh. Still has the clause “minors over the age of 13 are only permitted in a separate area” – I come under “minor.”
I maintain that the last part of that completely defeats the point of the TG anyway. If you can’t control it, stop trying.
Yup – what this translates to is that it is a legal lingo to cover LL’s backside in case some angry parents decide to to sue them over what they think is dangerous for their kids.
The internet is a dangerous place – like the street, too. But it’s not about age, imho. It’s about awareness about what the threats are and paying the correct attention to them.
But.. go figure
Anyway, if you decide to drop in, feel free to drop me an IM
I would drop in, but I’m somewhat reluctant to get myself banned for it. *sulks*
Well, you can still use IMs inworld. and as I suspect, since they do not say that the “special areas” are prohibited to be visited by others, the friends would be glad to pay a visit
(and if by “special areas” they actually do mean “PG” – there’s quite a few places which are PG – then there is no problem whatsoever.)
You can always take advantage of the not-so-small amount of loopholes in the regulations, Kathy. *Nudge* In any case, take me with ya. ;D
”
You must be at least 13 years of age to participate in the Service. Users under the age of 18 are prohibited from accessing the Service other than in the area designated by Linden Lab for use by users from 13 through 17 years of age (the “Teen Area”). Users age 18 and older are prohibited from accessing the Teen Area. Any user age 18 and older who gains unauthorized access to the Teen Area is in breach of this Agreement and may face immediate termination of any or all Accounts held by such user for any area of the Service. If you reside in a jurisdiction where the age of majority is greater than 18 years old, you are prohibited from accessing the Service until you have reached such age of majority. ”
If you’re about to, don’t.
If you have, stop and get back to the TG before they find you :O
