So, about a year ago I made an account on SL. Played for a few minutes (literally) and then went straight to delete account. Now I logged in and it's on hold. Why? I was a free user. I don't have anything wrong with a held account if I'm sure I don't need to pay anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

some websites will put the account on hold, one very good example is facebook. if you ask for deletion, it will take 15 days until your account is really "offline" (not saying gone because i dont believe they will crawl the backups and have the work to really delete anything)

this is to prevent someone to login in your account and delete it without your concern.. even if you were a new player who created an account a few days ago.. (they are not racist against noobs) this gives you a change of getting your account back in case if someone had access to your account..

that seems weird, check on their terms and conditions, maybe they have a policy of never delete the accounts, if that's the case, it will be on that state.. but you can contact them, and asking them about it, saying you are worried about privacy etc blablabla whatever your reasons are, and want the account really gone, hopefully they let it die in peace

(it looks like the account is dead, but its on earth wandering searching for the light lel)

I just hope I don't need to pay anything.

you never need to pay for delete an account...
that would be blackmail...


only on subscription cases like phone plans that we had on my country you have to pay for for get rid of it.. if you subscribe you get the first 3 months for free but you have a contract for next 24 months, if you want to quit you have to pay for the months you used + the 21 months you where supposed to use the service.. it's clearly a rip off, but you agreed with it...

    Going to the water park, see ya
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    You should update the 360 to newest dash before RGHing it yes. But not a big deal if you don't, you can install new dash/avatar updates after. It's just easier to do it auto online before, instead manual offline after.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Have fun @Xdqwerty. If you see a chocolate candy bar floating in the water, don't eat it!

    @BigOnYa I wanted to ask you about your experience with seeing south park. Most of the people a bit younger like my younger brother and cousins that are a few younger than me that saw kids found south park funny because of the curse words, kids at school, that seemed like liking the show on a very basic level.

    I could not quite have a in depth discussion of the show.

    How was it for you? As an adult. What did you find the most interesting part about it. Did you relate to the parents of the kids and their situations. Was it satires, the commentary on society. The references on celebrities' and pop culture.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I remember seeing the very first episode back in the day, and have watched every episode since. I used to set my VCR to record them even, shows how long ago.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just like any comedies really, and cartoons have always been a favorite of mine. Family guy, American Dad, Futurama, Cleveland Show, Simpsons - I like them all.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    South Park is great cause they always touch on relavent issues going on today, and make something funny out of it.

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa were you always up to date on the current events and issues of the time or were there issues that you first found out thru south park
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Most of the time yea I knew, I watch and read the news regularly, but sometimes the Hollywood BS stuff, like concerning actors slip by me. I don't follow most Hollywood BS (example: the Kardasians)

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa there were relevant issues before south park was made, that's why i think a south park prequel/spinoff would be great. Randy and his friends in their child hood
