Holy Perverted Michael Jackson! Ever since the Second Life Teen Grid got the chainsaw, I knew it was only going to be a matter of time before this phenomenon started occurring. I am of course referring to the invasion of the child bots in Second Life…
There I was, minding my own business while sailing the oceans of Majik, just doing some more hard-core scientific research on the cause and effects of splash-less water in Second Life. My scientific water experiments were progressing along better than I could ever have imagined when out of nowhere my small dingy springs a gigantic leak and within 6.9 minutes I had found myself at the bottom of the Majik ocean.

I wasn’t too worried because, besides being splash-less, the water in Second Life is filled with extra oxygen molecules so it’s much easier to breathe than RL water. Just as I started to get my bearings, through the left corner of my right eye, I saw them. Four disturbingly motion-less bots, they couldn’t have been more than 8 years old. They just didn’t seem to belong here. Not in this place, not on this grid, not in this mature location. I had visions of Neverland Ranch terrifying my soul. I had to get out of there. I can only hope that Michael Jackson does not find out about this, for their sake. I decided to have some Cakesters and get back to my research, but somehow, things will never be the same, now that the child bots have invaded the Second Life grid…
Holy Update! A very detail oriented reader, Tinsel Silvera, has pointed out that all of the child bots in the Majik photo are associated with the Spellbound Club which has events such as Nekkid Sunday, and upon further investigation, I am noticing the following in a Spellbound map description (.:[SpellBound Club]: Bondage Nig, Majik (0, 14, 381)). This is most bizarre. Film at 11.
Holy Double Update! 9-19-10 It appears that the child bots have completely disappeared from Spellbound. I don’t know what they’re up to, but I sure as hell don’t want our bombers on the ground when it happens. Take us to DEFCON 3 and get SAC on the line…
Holy Triple Update! 9-20-10 They are back!!
Looking at their profiles inworld they are all bots associated with the Spellbound Club & Mall. They must have just gotten rerouted by accident. False alarm on the Teen Grid invasion.
Many of the child bots won’t be originating from the teen grid as many will come from the regular grid as well. It’s just disturbing that the child bots in Majik are associated with the adult BDSM Spellbound club. Seems out of place since child avis in such a club are against the TOS. Hopefully the invasion can be kept at bay for now.
I did not look beyond the Spellbound on the profile to see what the place was. Child avi’s at a BDSM place is too much information! And kinda scary to think about. I would have preferred it to have been a teen invasion. At least they have a legitimate excuse for being a child avi.
Indeed, it is quite a disturbing discovery. Must be one strange club indeed. Perhaps the Spellbound clubs owners haven’t read the TOS lately, they are harvesting what appear to be traffic bots afterall, and that is one thing, but child bots in that club have no business being there. It’s an adult club. I’m sure we’ll see more awkwardness like that in the future since the closing of the teen grid. Only time will tell.
