Insim under new management!

[redisenchanted]

I have a quick question, and I realize that it may not be easily resolved because in terms of creations to the Insim family, I have contributed but one item, and the creations of more prolific creators do, of course, come first. How do I remove said puny little download? (I backed it up a long time ago.)  Granted, it would probably fetch Walt about .001 cent, but ...

And if I asked an obvious question, I humbly await my macro-punishment.

Well at insim, you have to go into each download and delete the attachments, pictures and text manually. You can't delete the post, but you can leave it as an empty shell. It probably works the same at insim adult.

I get the occasional twinge of a crush on Pescado myself, at times like this...

ditto    btw,  you are missing an F in your sig,  or is that intentional?

Also, I thought it was made clear at least that *for now* there were no plans of making anything pay. I thought we mostly objected to the way he handld things, right?

In my case I am objecting on a technicality.  The income from advertising currently exceeds the expenses.  If he accepts one single penny of a donation he is selling the forum content for profit.  He is not allowed to do that without the express agreement of the contributors - and that includes the poeple who post to the forums as that is partly what people were donating in respect of.

The people I am *angry* with are K&E.  Walt seems to be upfront in comparison!

If Pescado can crash and burn Wallyworld while preserving it's goods for the rest of us, I will worship him to my dying breath.

some of us are worried about the community as well as the 'goods' you know

I didn't notice it!  Pescado must have edited it.

[Zillah]

The community is part of the goods, IMHO - assuming everyone wants to move along with the pillaged site and regroup.

That's what Sim Oasis http://forums.sim-oasis.com/index.php is for.  Or if Pescado makes a copy he has already said he will let it continue under its current staff and rules, so 12s can still play.

If I understand correctly, he isn't just snagging the downloads but pretty much everything over there.

Seems to be down again. God this is frustrating...  

[calalily]

Cala, quit taking all the fun!  Fire is so...messy and stinky.  Nekkid and tied up, we will have pics to post.  

Pescado would never allow the enjoyment of it - he'd just take pictures of my face and replace the butthurt baby with my face.  I wish to die laughing, and when I read that manner of death he'd devised, I cracked up laughing. Now I have my heart set on it - unless he can come up with a funnier method.

I'm just trying to suggest you get some organizational skills and go about it in an orderly fashion as has been suggested. Running haphapzardly all at once all over both sites is only preventing you from completing what you're trying to accomplish.

I haven't done anything - no downloads whatsoever.  Nobody else is doing anything here either if they've read Pescado's statement.  Perhaps you should read more before you go spouting off and telling us what we should be doing.

Nah - one letter was lost off all signatures when Pescado switched us from phpbb to smf. Just you haven't fixed it yet. 

[Quorneater]

Quorneater, Paden and I have his number, want me to call him?

Well he ought to know what's going on, yes if you can, IMHO.  He's probably better off with AH's offer, assumung AH uses a forum upload system.  He may not want to make html pages.

Best not to do anything to do with Insim right now. You would not like being caught between Pescado's battlefleet and the cheezeservers.

Also, I thought it was made clear at least that *for now* there were no plans of making anything pay. I thought we mostly objected to the way he handld things, right?

That was my assumption as well. At least with Pescado you know where you stand. If you act stupid, he calls you on it,or else someone else does.
Pescada also conducts staff meetings, something numbnuts Walt apparently thinks are beneath him. For some reason it seems to me, like any smart business man who has just acquired a "business" Chairman Walt has taken the weekend off.

Eledhel, we're pirates - we pillage.  The community will survive, the location will change.

For the record, please quit going to Insim until he finishes.  Everytime someone tries to access the servers, you slow down the process.  When he's done, he'll let us know.

Q - I'll call him and let you know by PM, ok?

Again, remember the golden rule: Pillage, THEN burn.

Ok, but also ask if he minds his stuff being offered on his behalf *in general* after having been swiped.  He may not have time to deal with it himself right now

1 ~ This site's not the only one doing this. 2 ~ Evidently you think everyone's going to catch Pes' little statement already 2 pages back and are following it. 3 ~ No spouting on my part, I've got 3 years invested over there. Can you say the same?
