ATTENTION!!! URGENT!!! ATTENTION !!!

I just received this note concerning Eons new term of service which will now allow minors over the age of 13 to join Eons. This is suppose to be an adult site with members being over 50. I'd like to see what would happen if AARP allowed minors to join. If we all stay vigulent with Eons managment then maybe we can save our over 50 world, if not unfortunatly many will leave. If I wanted to be in a group with children involved I surely would have joined that site but I prefer, myself, to be with the company of like minded and generational folks.

The following was copied and pasted from the 'new' Eons TOU:

Children Under Age 13
You may register on Eons if you are older than the age of 13. Eons is not directed at children under 13 years of age. Any registration with, use of or access to the Eons website by anyone under 13 is unauthorized, unlicensed and in violation of these TOU.

Eons does not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from anyone under the age of 13 or knowingly allow such persons to register. If you are under 13, please do not attempt to register on Eons or send any information about yourself to us, including your name, address, telephone number or email address. No one under age 13 may provide any personal information to or on the Eons website. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under age 13 without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe that we might have any information from or about a child under 13, please contact us at view link

Children Between the Ages of 13 and 18
We recommend that minors over the age of 13 ask their parents for permission before posting any information about themselves on any website or sending any information about themselves to anyone over the Internet.

Parents of children between the ages of 13 and 18 who wish to allow their children access to the Eons website have the responsibility to determine the content that is appropriate for their children. Please be aware that Eons members have created areas on the Eons website that may contain adult or mature content.

This is outrageous!!! Do whatever you can to put a stop to this!!! Boom it! Post it in every Group you are a part of! If there is already a post - leave a message and 'Boom' it there! Many members are threatening to leave if Eons opens this site to minors... myself (sadly) included!

A sad day for Eons !!!

Oh No! Not the "Kid" scene! If we wanted"My Space" or Facebook or whatever we would be there. My Space is cool for the kids, The whole attraction of Eons was Our Age Group! I really do not care who is having a "Brittany" moment ! Had those when I was a kid, and do not want to go back there!

It is a sad day. It is not that I do not want to include children that is what they are to me but this was a place for us. I was on my space invited by my thirteen yr. old grandaughter but it just is not my cup of tea at this time in my life. Like someone stated I could care one iota bout Brittney, Hannah Montana, etc. It is great that they have their own site. However, what do they have in common with us plus how can they relate to our issues in general. Tooooo Bad this has come to be.

I must say if i wanted to join a group that let children join I would have done such. Shakes my head at this decision. And to think Livin life on the flip side of 50 is what got me here. Now I will have to censor what I say. Maybe even calm my inner spirit. I dont think it is a good change. Children belong on there own site. This one was catered to my age group. What happened?

Dusty... If you want to message 'Suzy' you will have to do it on her blog, because she has shut down her personal messages. Ha, she doesn't like the over fifty messages, wait till she hears from the over 13 crowd. Geez, this makes me sick.

Can anyone recommend a social networking site, aside from Seniorocity, similar to what Eons used to be; catering to those "lovin' life on the flip side of 50"?

Jimboy.. I don't know of one. As I suggested to Amazingspirit, you might want to hang in here for awhile and see how it goes. I do suggest making sure there are no personal pictures that you do not want all over the net up on your profile because with an open door policy we can not say who will be coming around.
I love this web site and the groups I am apart of. I don't plan on leaving until there is issues with the kiddos and younger crowd. If there is none, great. But I have my doubts.
Bless be, Astrid
