that's what we're trying to figure out ;-; I honestly think that it might be leahplaysmc or whatever their username was (also not to mention I was the 300th view ;3) *leoh and it might be deerboo. from the article, they are female. find all female telnet admins and line them up or something -backs away slowly- I never said anything, I never did anything, you never saw anything

The search for "Lea" continues. Plus, pretty surprising we got on the news.

Well since this news is from a while ago, this person could be a Clan or senior by now. They could be suspended or inactive, who knows. Admins come and go Confirming that I am Lea.

While the article does raise some serious points, the editor clearly did not have any real technical understanding, because this made me laugh:
While the telnet protocol in general administration would do this, we have modified it to work as a remote server console, executing commands just as if you were in game, so I think a "Professional systems administrator" is a rather large stretch there.

There is always a chance that she wasnt a telnet, or an admin at all. She could just be saying this to look good, I mean if I was asked by NYT I would say I was Cowgomooo12, for all hell, if I was asked I would say I was MarkByron or Finest. They have no chance of knowing if it was true, so this Lea person may not even exist. I mean, she did say she asked Mark for admin and he gave it.

If she's not gonna say who she is, the only way is to ask mark who asked him to be an admin and he said yes but I doubt mark would give free admin so fuk it, lol. Or she could be just a random OP, pretending to be a telnet, lol. Anyways, let's spread these hashtags: #TheSearch or #TheSearchForLea #WhoTheFuckIsLea #LeaWhoAreYou? #LeaWhereYouAt? Tbh, Lea, if you're reading this, why not just tell us who you are?

I have contacted the writer of that article and here is the direct email: Hello, I recently saw a minecraft server name thrown into one of your New York Times articles, and wanted to ask a question that has came onto the servers forums a lot. Who is the Lea person from your article? Heres the article paste and link: www.nytimes.com/2016/04/17/magazine/the-minecraft-generation.html?_r=1Paste: "Just as Minecraft propels kids to master Photoshop or video-editing, server life often requires kids to acquire complex technical skills. One 13-year-old girl I interviewed, Lea, was a regular on a server called Total Freedom but became annoyed that its administrators weren’t clamping down on griefing. So she asked if she could become an administrator, and the owners said yes. For a few months, Lea worked as a kind of cop on that beat. A software tool called “command spy” let her observe records of what players had done in the game; she teleported miscreants to a sort of virtual “time out” zone. She was eventually promoted to the next rank — “telnet admin,” which allowed her to log directly into the server via telnet, a command-line tool often used by professionals to manage servers. Being deeply involved in the social world of Minecraft turned Lea into something rather like a professional systems administrator. “I’m supposed to take charge of anybody who’s breaking the rules,” she told me at the time." We have been wondering a lot of who this might be, and ask if you can atleast provide her minecraft username because no one has come up with a response as who this might be. You may be wondering why I happen to care so much? Well, I am currently a Super Admin, and awaiting an application for telnet admin, so along with several others, we would like to know who this person was and request you atleast tell us her minecraft username. Thank you. Best regards, Melon from TotalFreedom. ~TotalFreedom Super Admin. His reply was: Hi Michael! Good to hear from you -- cool that you're involved on TotalFreedom. It sounds like a great server! Lea isn't involved any more now, I don't think -- she got busy on other servers and stopped doing admin work. I can't give you her last name because for stories reporting on minors we generally don't use last names, for privacy reasons. But maybe if you ask around someone will know her and have her contact info? So, I figure they have gone inactive or rouge. UPDATE: I have been told by Clive (the article writer) that he will give her a ping and ask her for her username.
