Temporary Leave of Absence

Subject: Temporary Leave of Absence Mon Dec 07, 2009 10:03 am

OK guys, I have some bad news. I got grounded from the computer, meaning I will have very limited access to here except on school days. That means no music, no animations, almost nothing from me until I'm off. I am not certain how long last, though I predict about 2-4 weeks. Until then, though, I'm putting all of my projects on hold, and yes, that includes Earth-Link Zero.

nope, EL0 will still move forward, things in the film industry don't get put on hold because one person got grounded. You have to remember there are now other people aside from you working on this project, and those people aren't grounded.

I guess youre right. Disregard that last thing, Earth-Link Zero is still going forward, just without me for the time being.

How are you grounded, and your 17 your mom/dad can't do a thing to you.

Actually, in some countries they can... for example here on Portugal, they must hold us on their decks till 18 yo...

Same in Indiana. It verries from state to state.

Ditto here in Pennsylvania.

There's a joke that my people let children on the deck until 21 (not true!!!).

Whoa whoa... your 17 ? Crap.. ok. That explains a few things..

I do not interact over the net with anyone under age of 18 do to too many problems with parents and internet predators that a lot of people see online.

By law I technically cannot interact with you unless I had parents permission.

So in essence I have to formally resign because this site belongs to the 17 year old.. Sad

Its ok because I had no where to upload anything anyhow. The server was never up when I tried it. And I never got responses back about that.

But I had fun while I was here guys.

I look forward to seeing your work.

I'll stay as a regular viewer, in the hopes you guys finish.

Regards,
John

Unfortunately, the fact that this whole thing is his idea and his film, and I have no proof that this is not his website, it wont matter if I interact with you or through you as you say. Because I don't know either one of you. It would have been ok if I didn't know the age, plausible deniability. But its too late now.

Again, thanks for asking me to join, but I can't now.

This will get into Legal Matters that I just don't have time for. Trust me, its not worth it my friend. you dont know how strict the laws out here in the USA are if you never have lived here when it comes to "minors".

I am taking my name out of the site guys.. let me know when you get the film up and running.. again, sorry I can not help. But Laws out here in US are tough on 40 year olds when it comes to Minors. haha

Bye all, I will miss this site. Sad

Signing out.. John Mieske
