Insim under new management!

[Pescado]

If anyone should be notifying people it should be him I would think and that counts at sites he's been posting about it at like GoS.

I mentioned this everywhere I have access to where anyone cares. I don't even know where this Oasis thing is. And I'm busy. And I hate people. Plus, you volunteered to do it. So go do it. Chop-chop.

I support what Pes is trying to do and understand the anger of some creators who have removed/had deleted their creations.

But isnt deleting stuff kind of pointless? Wont both sites be totally backed up somewhere in the event of some disaster?

I know zippity-shit about running a website, but one of the main priorities I would have if I did run one is having a total backup of a site saved elsewhere in case of need.

[Pescado]

You'd think that, but let's just say that I know something you do not: I...am not left-handed!

[Piratey]

So while we're enjoying the fondue, has a new name been decided upon yet for the possibility of a  clone? InSimenator 2, InSimenator redux, InSimenator Vista?

Walt-Free InSIMenator appears to be the tentative title.

I put up a notice at NS

You've got to take into account that members are seeing whats going on unless they're complete neophyte asshats and are trying to grab everything they can as well. Wouldn't you? The servers were slow even at 2:00 a.m. after last weeekend when the Watzinator took over at low load times so you can imagine what this is doing to them. I never did get onto the main site yesterday other than for about 2 minutes to post one comment in the mods area, then it was down all day ~ same for the adult side, obviously.

I have, but as you yourself say, they're unlikely to be here. So writing it here is to no purpose.

If anyone should be notifying people it should be him I would think and that counts at sites he's been posting about it at like GoS. Take into account the majority of members at the InSIM sites have no idea as to who MATY, GoS, PMBD, or the newly formed Oasis even are or where and we all have a major problem.

GoS has been informed about Pescado's statement.  Matyites are unlikely to be doing anything. As for Oasis, I'm not a member, but I'm sure as a mod of Insim, you are - tell them to stop.

You'd think that, but let's just say that I know something you do not: I...am not left-handed!

Pescado watched The Princess Bride!

deathtowalt - If you have been at Insim for 3 years then you certainly have heard of PMBD.  Especially when the "Great Paysite Debate" was in session. It was all over the place and Insim had a thread dedicated to it.  I'm willing to bet that more people than you think know about PMBD, specifically because of the booty.  We have a lot of lurkers who never post.

If you want to be proactive, email site owners and ask that they post a message if there isn't one.  Caring about the community as you do, this will be something positive you can contribute.  Plus, the FOJ has hand-picked you for this task, you really and I do mean REALLY, don't want to let him down.  Just check out the news box.

I too am stunned that Pes has seen The Princess Bride.

Take into account the majority of members at the InSIM sites have no idea as to who MATY, GoS, PMBD, or the newly formed Oasis even are or where and we all have a major problem.

That's why PMBD shouldn't ever be censored.  You never know why you are going to need Pescado in a pinch.

I don't know that there is much anyone can save maybe mass emailing or a sticky at insim about the situation, and either of those things could cause Walt to lockdown the place.  So I don't know that complaining is going to get us anywhere.  Just hope that Pes gets what he needs.

 FINALLY! This thread just kept going, I didn't think I would ever reach the end. What K&E did to everyone is deplorable, fleecing the community for however long they have been, and then just leaving!?  I am sorry to everyone who had a vested interest, its sucks for you guys. This Walt guy seems like a real winner, why in the hell would you buy a website dedicated to something you admittedly know nothing about? That just seems to reek of idiocy, but I guess that has been proven already.

  I can't wait to see this whole thing pan out. Seeing Walt's site crash and burn is going to be oodles of fun.  

  Hehe! Pes liking The Princess Bride is kind of scary. I love that movie.

ETA Who are the powers that be round here?  I implore you PLEASE can I have more PM allowance?  I am missing important communications as my box keeps filling up

The only person who could adjust that would be pescado. 

The current limit for regular members is five, I do believe.

[Alexia]

So has this Walt person not even checked up on his new "acquisition" ? He bought a website, angered the fandom and staff and went off to have a four day long weekend ? I know it was a holliday for the US, but did he not take into account that the rest of the world doesn't celebrate the same bank hollidays or is he just that naive.
Tin Foil Hat time: Perhaps he's trying to bak up the creations the same time as Pescado, that's why the servers are turning into cheese toasties.

Oh no! Not Insimenator Vista! *shivers* vista has kicked me in the bottom to often.

How bout just "The Other Insim" or "The Real Insim Community"... Hey we can have a contest to see who can come up with the best name for the possable clone.

I would simply suggest backing up PMs elsewhere and deleting as you read or trying to convince pescado to give you more. But, if you really want to try to route you suggested, go for it.
