I dont think anyone has the power to put it in maintenance mode... Kathy was stingy with handing out power to people who where trying to help keep the site running.

Well, there's like *500* people piled on now, in addition to Walt. Commencing transfer anyway. Expect meltdown.

I don't think it's easy, but is there any reason to rush, besides Walt possibly stopping it? I'm guessing Walt is a doofus who won't be able to figure out what's going on. Even if he does, I don't really think melting the site would do any positive good.
Yes. If the process is not completed relatively soon, the dumps will become inconsistent with the rest of site content and we'll have to start over.
Okay, I don't get how this stuff works, but why would you have to start over? Does it need to be a perfect re-creation of the entire site?

Oh, I just had a thought. Some people might not even be trying to log in but might have clicked the little box so that they would be logged in, potentially for a long time, until they click the "log out" button.
People who frequented Insim might want to clear their cookies to make sure they aren't unknowingly still logged in.

I voted to burn. Specifically, because we have this guy, Walt, who is a total douchebag, and we have no idea if he is paying attention to what is happening or not. He seems to me like the kind of guy who might burn the ship before letting someone else take it. If he has been paying attention, he may sabotage the whole thing. Better to get it all backed up safely. I know I have a lot of stuff backed up from both sites, and I am sure that the vast majority can be restored. Under normal circumstances, I can see how most people would see this as the angry mob going to attack the monster. The difference is that Walt has no vested interest in the Sims other than the site, and that he would quite possibly be willing to let it all blow up and try to take K & E to court for misrepresenting what they were selling. I wouldn't put much past him. Clearly, he is about as slimy as they come.
EDIT: Go Pescado! Especially if Walt is logged in.

Is there any chance that if the mods talked nicely to Walt and somehow managed to convince him that they could help out with all the technical crap of the site constantly going down if only they were allowed some admin access, somehow convincing him that they know so much more about the software for running a forum than he does and they will be able to maintain it, then maybe we could put it into "maintainance mode" so Pes can go to town. If he is just a web based ad guy maybe he would let someone have a few admin right to help him get the forums stable. I am sure just getting the site back up each time is starting to wear thin for him. Maybe if he thought he was getting help from his staff he would afford them a bit more control. I know this would have to happen quick while the site is still up and the staff can get in.

Being logged in or not doesn't matter. It's LOOKING at it at all that slows it down.

As opposed to the people who sold it to him?

No, in addition to them. Only difference: He has control right now.

That's a good idea, scrappysim, but is Walt even around? Has he communicated with his mods since that first letter?
Oh, and if Walt wants to take Kathy and Eric to court for conning him, I will do a happy dance. I'll even point him to any evidence that could help him. It seems to me that they looked up a gullible kook to sell the site to and are now happily depositing the money they scammed out of him.
