On which of these variants you'll get after subscribing depends on the real life date of birth you're giving there. (Note that the Terms of Service require you to give true and accurate data when subscribing, so you can't choose between teen and adult Second Life.) For neither you are required to give a mobile phone number. Age Verification is one of the ways to get "Account Verified" (the other ways being to have payment info on file with either secondlife.com or XStreetSL). It is supposed to prove that you're an adult, so I don't think it is available for members of Teen Second Life at all. Age Verification might ask for different legal documents for different nationalities/countries of residence, but I don't think it would ask for a mobile phone number, either. If you ended up in the "wrong" vari...

I wake up this morning and find a message sent by a Badwolf Barbosa who owns the sim for the Furvana furry club. A great place to hang out. Message as follows: Teen and Main Grid merging Tue Feb 10 00:25:46 2009 From what I have read and listened to, Linden Lab plans on merging the Main Grid with the Teen grid. They have not set a def. date for this but they are moving in that direction. This will seriously impact ALL SIMs with Mature content. There are URLs included in the attached Note Card with the interview and blogs or digests. Avoid the rush. Do Age Verification now and be ahead of the game.

Recently Furvana, a furry dance club, has had problems with under age persons going online in their parents accounts or sign on to SL when they should be on the teen grid. Age verification means that Linden Labs knows for sure how old you are and that you are of legal age, over 18, to be on the main grid. The above pic shows a table with three boxes that contained note cards that run you through the age verification process. I will post those note cards below so that you can see that process. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reminder - Age Verification starts Feb 1 Sat Jan 31 19:21:57 2009 If you have not age Verified, you will not be able to get into Furvana. This will NOT affect Wolfmont SIM or the Moonlit Paw Shopping area. If you are unsure about your status, check your account on the SecondLife Web site and choose the Age Verification link. The process takes less than 5 mins. The data does NOT go through Linden Labs - it is done by a...
