Insim under new management!

[LadyPirate]

Am I the only one who thinks the first announcement in the shout box should be changed to "Paysites: Now more destroy-worthy than Walt"? I've been waiting for the Pirate King to do something along those lines since this whole fiasco came to light

[SamanthaS]

(Thinking before I post, here goes:)

If I'm bugging you, sorry. I've been following this drama non-stop since the second it happened and I'm on edge. I'm rooting for everything to work out fine. Trying to do what I can. I didn't have any stake in this when it started, but since I stupidly took it upon my self to start telling people what's up and visiting other forums to spread the news, I feel like I have a stake in this too.

So, really, when did I display that'sky is falling' mentality? I didn't mean to. Don't insinuate I'm trying to kick up a stink. I'm nervous. Hoping everything goes right, just like everyone else.

Who am I bugging? Raise your hands. I'll piss off by popular vote 

What HugeLunatic pointed out but look Devilfish, we're all interested in how this is going to turn out, and probably most of us are following all the drama at all the different places it's being discussed and I wasn't trying to imply you were trying to kick up a stink, just that I think you should calm down a little.  Sorry if I was harsh.

[Aarron]

I'm not good with time zone convertions and cant remember if insim was on GMT or GMT+1 so no idea how recent Walt's post is but thats the first i've heard of it. any one cheacked in with any main mods to see if their thinking of takeing him up on this? (dont want to repeat what anyone else is gonna do)

And aye for option 3

[HugeLunatic]

Just want to clarify...I am not raising my hand for you to piss off.  Your quite funny so I ignore that you think the sky is falling. 

[TKPurrrrs]

 :oOH my.... I dont know if i should feel releaved he wants out or feel sorry for the stupid man for the financial hit he will get over having been so stupid in the first place.

Im not shure what to think now... on one hand we have our free copy Pes is getting us and on the other their is Walt trying to get his investment back... let me see... Hummmm... I say Walt should take the hit like a man and chalk it up to a learning experience.

As for electing a board... What the hell... he dosnt really undertand that we already have our board or representatives or whatever you want to call them? Our board or whatever is our staff plus we have members of the community to lend our staff advice. He really dosnt know how a community works dose he?

[WedgewoodBlue]

The one that leaves him holding the bag and wishing he'd never heard of Insim, having lost his shirt on this lousy deal.

*raises hand* Oh, I vote for that one. 

Ditto, register my vote for that option as well.

Is it just me, or is it possible that all the 12's will be on hands and knees begging parental type figures for money so "they* can buy Walt out?
Further, Walt's continuing failure to recognize that now he has nothing of value on his hands to *sell* just never ceases to amuse me.

[catbyte]

So, I am a lurker here but my opinion (for what it's worth) is that Walt was misled by Kathy and Eric and they sold him the site, misrepresenting what he was getting. They should give him back what he paid for it, not the community. But until he's forthcoming regarding the terms and conditions of the sale, we should proceed as Pescado has planned.

[Ebianarr]

So Walt wants his moniez back nao?  I just laughed so hard I think he heard me from several states away.  
Option 3 FTW!!!!

[Devilfish]

Damn. The refugee camp is burninated then. That spells trouble.

Do believe that is the sky is falling mentality.  Because its down you immediately think bad things. 

Oh, is it the way I said it that caused this? I'm sorry, I didn't mean to sound alarmist. I assumed to mny people got on and the thing crashed, is that correct? I wasn't saying ZOMG WALTZ HAXXORZ THE TING! That'll teach me, using words I don't understand properly. Sorry. Carry on.

And aye for option 3

I like that too. Walt wants out then? (I love how he summarized the complaints, concerns and help of the community as 'spam' by the way.)

[Paleoanth]

I think no one should offer him anything.  Let him have it.  Let him eat the initial cost and the continuing server costs.  Let him buy new servers and redesign the website and have his 499 polls.  We will be over at WFIS.  I shall have tea and crumpets with Inge. 

[Pythia]

De-lurking just to point and laugh at Walt.
Is he serious?   If so, he's about to be butthurt in more imaginative ways than his little corporate brain (and butt) ever imagined possible.

[Lilwen]

I vote for option 3, just the mental picture of this Walt guy holding a bag, shirtless is just too much to pass over.

[Quorneater]

I don't trust Walt.  How do we know after this "vigorous" fundraising he won't just pocket it like his friends Kathy and Eric did?  And yes, I do now believe they had a prior relationship, for reasons I stated earlier today.

Carry on the pillaging, followed by burning, I say!  We do not HAVE to buy him out of what is already ours.

[Requip]

Walt was misled by Kathy and Eric and they sold him the site, misrepresenting what he was getting.

And hasn't he made it seem he knows them? Then he needs to call them up and demand his monies back nao from THEM.  

[justso]

He had the opportunity to be bought out and he decided to make the insim community suffer a bit longer.  option 3
