For those of you living in a cave the past few months, a guy named Neil threw together an Emerald clone and added some exploits. He ran around naked for a while until yesterday, when Soft Linden swiftly delivered a firm boot to Neil’s ass by replacing an asset Neil’s users routinely steal with an object that phones up the Lindens and tells them who to ban. 50 morons were removed from the genepool.
A dramatization of what happened to Neil's ass
Neil, having his assbones crushed into a fine, snortable powder, proceeded to cry and shut down NeilLife altogether, showing defeat. In the meantime, he posted an incredible amount of whining on his blog, claiming that he and his users was banned for no reason. “No reason” apparently means “grabbing copyrighted material while using exploits that can get his ass jailed for illegally breaking into computer networks”. This isn’t even the stupid copybotting stuff, which makes a copy of the shape of the object, Neil actually told the server to deliver an object he wasn’t supposed to receive. Illegal under U.S. computer crimes laws, without any reasonable doubt.

Neil was not immediately available for comment.
To all those out there: Please send Soft Linden money for beer. He deserves it for being a cunning SOB.
[Update @ 2:44AM]
Been doing some Googling on Neil.
SL Name (Banned): Neil Elton
Skype: neil5050
Youtube: MrPoenta
This is all I can find, hope someone picks up where I left off.
[Update @ 5 October 2009]
For those of you wanting to verify this story, my sources are at least 3 very credible individuals who verified that Soft Linden replaced the object in response to a SEC JIRA regarding the nature of NeilLife’s exploits. In addition, Neil removed a post on his blog containing the asset UUID (used to be here). As it is a SEC JIRA, I’m not entirely sure I should be disclosing names.

n3x15 fucking fake ass wanna be PN you aint shit just like your fucking viewer .
Both suck ass .
Doesnt your viewer steal stuff?
FlexLife is the biggest expliot ever so shut the fuck up dick head
Neil,
What you probably dont relise is that many of the people who are top creaters in SL have been hired as a Linden over the years, or are friends with another creater who was hired.
When you set out to exploit top end products that real life people are selling to pay their real life rent, you are going to piss off a few Lindens.
Once you have done that you can expect them to be watching everything you do on their servers, and banning you and your customers very quickly.
You do relize that Linden Labs can now formally have you charged with CyberCrimes. You have left them a trail right to your door. You do relize what you are doing is clasified as a criminal offence, don’t you? You have also exposed all the people who used your viewer exploits to the same criminal charges. I wonder how many of them will willingly give evedence against you to save their own butts?
The 1987 U.S. Computer Security act, the more recent Patriot Act, and the Digital Melenium Copyright Act give the FBI, NSA, CIA, and Homeland Security the ability to lay charges at the federal level against anyone who violates a computer on the internet. You knowingly and deliberatly violated the Linden computer network for the purpose of stealing restricted information. That is a federal offence.
And before you try to reasure yourself that linden Labs dont care enough to pass the information onto the federal police. Remember your victims are pushing Linden Labs to make an example of you.
According to the 2002 Federal Sentencing Guidelines you can expect to spend about 100+ months in jail for what you have done.
For some reason, I’m getting blamed for this. o.0
- (From Neil’s blogspot)
“mainly the phenom tool’s creator fault for the massive abuse reports.”
“the creator of phenom hud is reporting people who have is wearing his hud. Several people been banned. Just giving you a heads up. DO not wear it. You can check in his group notices and everything. ” ~~ “People are getting randomly banned for false reasons, some who didnt’t have his hud are also getting reported by people making false reports to him etc.”
You made copybot and shoopedlife both clients with backup abilities and now you are the one that complaints? n3x15 are you crazy ?
n3x15 member of the PN that got banned 25 times, that makes and hands out griefing scripts,copybot and shoopedlife, complaints about neillife viewer is totaly fake.
And the truth is everyone and i mean everyone would like to have backup option in they’re viewer .Don’t you mr n3x15?
You made such things so the answewr is obvious YES .
I use viewers with back up options yes i do but just to give some of the clothing i bought to my alter avatar .
Is there something wrong with that?why should i pay for the same clothes for each avatar ?
I think back up clothings and stuff should be allowed so long as its for personal use and not for selling .
If some one tries to sell copied stuff that should be a crime because they want to make profit of the creators work .
oh wow this sounds like familiar territory shame the rules are so blurry would be really interesting to see which rules have precedence..original creator? original copier? LL? lol fukit shoot the lot
[...] Se pare ca dupa putinta detectarii Cryolife, si acest viewer Neillife(dupa”creatorul”sau Neil Elton, user banat din SL), apar si primele semne de slabiciune si aici. si anume!aca sunteti intr-o masina, vapor, sau orice obiect scriptat facut sa zboare sau sa mearga iar acesta nu functioneaza atunci cu siguranta, cineva din acelas sim cu tine foloseste Neillife(deoarece acesta strica atributele cu privire la vehiculele fizice si scripturile din acestea).Aceasta stire e inca din 4 octombrie 2009. O alta stire buna din aceeasi perioada, e ca un anume Soft Linden(nume de avatar) a facut in asa fel incat 50 de avatare au fost banate , fiind gasite printr-o capcana intinsa lui Neil, de acest Soft Linden(sursa) [...]

Couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy.
As we say down in Australia, “Suffer in your jocks neil!”
