I don't like it. I don't want it. I also don't want to leave eons, but if they push this, I might.
What was suggested in another group that I belong to is to use the help/feedback link that is located at the bottom of this page and write to eons and let them know. It was also suggested to write to the eons advertisers in protest against this change and push the fact that we will stop buying and/or using their products until this whole idea is changed.
I also suggested booming every message that you see that is against this change. We need to let eons know we are not happy.
Will this group be set to approval to join? I mean do we really want teens? Im leaving alot of groups today and all groups that I was assisting eons to help make the site better because as much as I have worked with them this kid policy never was told to us not even in the private group.
So Im sorry but I have a trust issue now with the staff of eons. I feel like I was used and lied to.
I think online safety for women needs to post a course on protecting us from being used by the site itself.
I do not want to be with kids. If I did I would. I am hurt and disgusted right now.
Like pepbold I will be leaveing groups that are not private. I don't think with approval is enough. They will be able to copy anything they want that we say and it will show up on my space. No thank you.
I agree with all of you. Very well stated btw. I came home to goodbye p.m.s from some people and one of my favorite sites is up for grabs because the manager left. Lots of turmoil right now.
There will be more reasons for us to stick together and safety needs will only increase. I try to hold off my reactionary response and wait for the dust to settle. Thanks and great idea to boom! Lonestar1.

I joined Eons because I was comfortable knowing I would be communicating with 50+ adults. Now I am told children 13 and over are allowed to join. That means my grandchildren, their friends and who knows who can invade my privacy. I resent this. We have had enough problems w/o having to deal w/ a bunch of kids. I really hope Eons will reconsider because if they want kids they just may have only kids...
The blatant betrayal by eons, on several levels, has been proclaimed throughout the membership. I have 3 backup homes to find my refugee friends who are fleeing from eons. I am staying to see how things play out and because I have met many fine people here that I would like to keep in touch with.
I suggest you exchange your outside-email address with friends you want to keep in contact with.
Beyond this is another issue of safety. Chatting with underaged children means there will be internet police observing your interactions with them. In our comfort of belief that we were conversing with over 50 y.o. individuals, we now have to censor what we say.

I continue to boom the posts that support our thoughts here. Please let me know if you have increased security, safety concerns and will try to address them a.s.a.p. Let's stick together, I think we all have the same concerns....Lonestar1.
Not happy about the 13 and up group. Prefer to talk to mature adults over 50. Children are rash, they are not interested in us, but if EONS caters to the sponsors, we will see a major change. Its a shame the almighty dollar speaks for business.
