I hope Mili trickles over here, because I think she'd be interested to know that with this incident, I think I'm starting to understand all that "we" stuff.

Would it be nice to see BT return? Sure, but I keep thinking: You know, as long as we're all communicating with each other, I just don't really give a rip where. I'd hate to lose the folks I have come to consider friends. If BT returns, great! If it doesn't, as long as everybody knows about NeuroTalk and we can all talk here, that's fine with me. :)

I guess the drawback, though, is that there may be some that don't find out about this place, so there still may be some loss. And that would be a bummer.

Hey everyone,

Kristin here..been posting here for awhile..Welcome to the new posters!!!(CoolAngel28 over on BT..):D:D:D

Welcome everybody! :) I joined here a couple of years back when BT crashed and was down for awhile. This is an awesome forum and well managed as well. It's nice to have continuity. I hope all the BT members will find their way over here.

I think most of the old timers know this place, and I did ask Mike Weins to send an addy with this address if possible, but I am sure he is bombarded with emails at this point. If ya'll did the same he may see it sometime though.

At the moment I am so ****** off at Lester I could care less about BT. I found out last nite they killed my account on Second Life and it can't be revived. They wiped me out of my lindens, all my inventory, contacts etc. They said I owed them 5 dollars from March when I downgraded my account, so they took all my money (more than 5 bucks), didn't write me, and just screwed me over.

I blame lester for bringing us in the first place, taking away our belongings without a word, diserting us, ignoring us.. then leaving BT for SL without the tools to keep it going, and then deserting us on SL! If you don't know what I am talking about Brigadoon was a virtual world for people on the autism boards. I don't know what his problem has been but I am tired of just being cool with him.:mad:

Wow I had no idea he could do such a thing! That whole 'experiement' was a big deal to him supposedly, I can't believe he'd take away your SL account and possessions like that with no explaination at all. Just that you owed them $5? That is really WRONG! :(

Maybe it's time to let go of BT. He sure has...

Wow, that would be frustrating (I really don't know anything about JL or the SL stuff or anything like that, so can't really say much). I will say that what I find difficult to understand is having an online community, having it get really busy, to the point that BT has, and then leaving it hanging. I can understand maybe losing interest, getting too busy with real life stuff, or whatever, but in that case, at least if it were me, I'd probably find someone to pass the baton to, so that someone that is active has the access to do something about problems as they crop up.

That would be the RIGHT thing to do, but JL refuses to do it and now BT is broken beyond what the site admins left in charge can fix. I doubt we see it get fixed anytime soon sadly, but at least NT (neurotalk) was set up two crashes ago and is STILL here for us. I am truly grateful for that. :D

There was a crash after the big 2006 crash?

that is bad, but what is worse, and something I have been wondering for awhile now, is that this guy has been taking donations for the site (if you go to the bottom you will see where you can give a donation) and and it being a non profit, were is that money going? you can be sure that there are people who dont know any better and donate money to the site. That seems pretty shady to me, almost illegal (maybe it is, taking the money and hiding from everyone, refusing to be contacted)

I am still very worried that everyone from BT is not going to find this place and we are going to loose contact with people and loose our group of people. If any of the other BT autism board people are reading this, say hi or something!!!
