Insim under new management!

[Paden]

THERE you are! *nabs Markus by the collar and throws him into the basement again, with a computer this time* Get the cobwebs by the furnace this time!

No, none of us were alerted as to this happening. I know that Kathy is pretty ill and needs a break from the stress the site causes her on top of RL stuff, but this way of handling it was just WRONG. You don't sell out and not say good-bye to people who've had your back in the past. And, you sure the fuck don't dive right into a community with spreadsheets and financial shit and wanting money right the fuck NAO!!! ANd the next little bitch that don't know her ass from a teakettle that tells me to calm down over there is gonna get a smack upside the head and told to shut the fuck up! I told KATHY that I would behave, I promised HER that I would, but I made no such agreement with Walt. He can suck my non-existent left nut to make the non-existent right one jealous.

Ah, there we go - hopefully I can change it to my gmail account later - since I never check my yahoo one.

[SoggyFox]

Yeah I read that and I was just *flabbergasted* at her tone.  Yes, it -might- not be as bad as it looks, but as Numenor said, it helps build trust if you actually -play- the game the fansite is for.

Investment *snort*

Well Paden, don't attack walt yet, if you haven't already. We may need a person on the inside for the possible upcoming struggle for the soul of Insim.

I am not surprised at what Kathy and Eric did, though I'm saddened by it.

I hope Delphy can buy Insim.

[Pescado]

Delphy purchasing InSim and taking over would bring joy, sunshine, peaches and orgasms to the entire sims 2 community.   Merging of the two largest completely FREE sims sites = check mate.

I think this would be a bad idea, though. Such a move would negatively affect the truck size of the community, especially given that Delphy is not exactly somebody good at staying alive.

Markus you forgot the mustluvcatz vs BlackDwarf cage match over in the TSR thread.

It's nice to see some of the TS2 "heavies" digging their heels in over there. I hope he and others have the sense to read what they wrote (but I doubt it). And good work there Paden, you da man wit imaginary testes.

On a side not, props to all FOJs for not subjecting us to blinky pink welcome signs

1) I am not surprised at what Kathy and Eric did, though I'm saddened by it.

2) I hope Delphy can buy Insim.

Good points Calisto....ohh I mean neriana.

[SoggyFox]

I almost feel sorry for this guy - he doesn't really grasp what he's gotten into, i wager.

[Delphy]

Ahh but Pescado, whoever said I would "take over" if that did happen?  (Protip: I wouldn't)

[Paden]

Like I've been sayin, if InSIM goes pay in any way, shape or form, I'll be walkin out the door and they can be kissin me arse. I'm pissed, sure. No doubt about it. You don't treat your staff like shit unless yer an old shit like Pescado, and that's just expected out of the old fart.

[whiterider]

Well Paden, don't attack walt yet, if you haven't already. We may need a person on the inside for the possible upcoming struggle for the soul of Insim.

It is highly unlikely, judging by his attitude so far, that Walt is going to listen to his staff much. If he wants to do things which will imprive InSim, it will be improved; if he wants to do things which will damage it (far more likely), it will be damaged.
Because staff should be consulted before proposals are announced to members.

.......sorry for the interruption.......

Actually, treating your staff like shit is important to maintaining order. Otherwise they start getting weird ideas and raised expectations. Consistent abusiveness is the key to any successful relationship. Once they have gotten used to a consistent level and form of abuse, they'll come to expect and even like it that way.

I completely agree with your statement. And to add to it, I would really hate to see insim go down the tube. Its been a great site for me to get downloads for my game. Whatever happens-happens,I just want to see our community excel instead of becoming corporate commercial trash.
