The Teen Grid was a separate "grid" (or world) from the original "Main Grid" (18+) and was only for teens from 13 to 17. Once a teen turned 18, they were transported to the Main Grid, avatars, names, and inventories were all maintained. The Teen Grid was started in a closed Beta around February 13th of 2005, during this period a few previously Main Grid residents were transferred over for testing. Linden Lab gave "amnesty" to several Main Grid residents during this phase if they told LL they were underage (previously being caught underage would result in a ban), these Residents became beta testers and world founders to help build the world before it was opened to the public. Several rules were set for the Teen Grid, the most notable being that cross-communication between the Teen Grid and Main Grid is not allowed. The Teen Grid soon opened to the public with a shiny new website and forums. However due to staff and office hours the Teen Grid was only open during office hours, much like when Second Life was in Beta. As of January 1st, 2006, the teen grid opened 24/7, to all residents. On August 14th, 2010, Philip Linden announced that the Teen Grid would be shut down, and those ages 16 to 17 would be moved to Main Grid.

Short history

The Teen Grid was a separate "grid" (or world) from the original "Main Grid" (18+) and was only for teens from 13 to 17. Once a teen turned 18, they were transported to the Main Grid, avatars, names, and inventories were all maintained. The Teen Grid was started in a closed Beta around February 13th of 2005, during this period a few previously Main Grid residents were transferred over for testing. Linden Lab gave "amnesty" to several Main Grid residents during this phase if they told LL they were underage (previously being caught underage would result in a ban), these Residents became beta testers and world founders to help build the world before it was opened to the public. Several rules were set for the Teen Grid, the most notable being that cross-communication between the Teen Grid and Main Grid is not allowed. The Teen Grid soon opened to the public with a shiny new website and forums. However due to staff and office hours the Teen Grid was only open during office hours, much like when Second Life was in Beta. As of January 1st, 2006, the teen grid opened 24/7, to all residents. On August 14th, 2010, Philip Linden announced that the Teen Grid would be shut down, and those ages 16 to 17 would be moved to Main Grid. August 17th, 2010, Terrence Linden announced that the Teen Grid would officially merge and close down on 20th January 2011.
