Regarding the FanWank, it should probably be mentioned that Wart offered to sell ISA to Delphy at one point.

lol this is where one of my plans could come in. if he reups files that have been deleted by the author, it is illegal, as he is using someone elses intellectual property without permission, which breaks copyright. it would be fairly easy to get proof that he did this, so once we had proof, it and once we know where insim is hosted again, we can just contact the host with the proof and they will see to it that the site is taken down, leaving you guys to build a new insim community as and where you see fit Smiley
The copyright argument is meaningless. What works for PMBD would similarly work for Walt.

Of course, there's always pillaging and burning. There's no reason to believe Walt will not continue to compromise the server.

thats true, i hadnt thought of that. there might be a way around it somehow though. but yeah, pillaging is always fun. and like i said, ill be here if theres anything i can do at all. and i will share anything i find out as soon as i find it.

Bleh. He can have the biggest overcompensating server in the world. He's nothing without the staff and creators. Just another Walt move to point and laugh at.

I had an idea related to all of this.  One thing I've heard a lot from various people is that they almost feel sorry for Walt as he's clearly clueless.  Now, a businessman should be intelligent enough to research what he's getting into before he buys, but at the same time, a lot of what he's run afoul of are issues of community culture, which aren't exactly spelled out anywhere and would be hard for someone who doesn't know the community to learn about in some Google searches.  There's also a lot of individuals that I don't think quite understand why some of the things he's done have rubbed so many in such a terribly wrong way, again because of a lack of understanding of the community culture.

I personally found it pretty sad, that first long thread where he clearly didn't know who anyone was, including people like Delphy and Pescado, and his continued ignorance with the whole "someone called Pescado" thing.

So, feeling kind of diplomatic, I went and typed all this up  (warning: I am long winded!):

http://forums.sims2community.com/showthread.php?t=63845

... which hopefully explains to someone as clueless about the community as Walt why him doing what he did pissed so many people off.  I'm thinking that once InSIM is back up, I'll post it there in Site Issues recommending he read it.  It may not do any good, and I don't propose that it should change anything about what the community does, but it may at least make him realize why everyone has had such issue with his actions.  And it would certainly eliminate the "well gosh, he just doesn't know better" type stuff.  Kinda hard to sympathize with someone if they have the info and then choose to ignore it.

It's not perfect - it's almost 2 AM now and I'm tired and my brain is fried.  Any lack of including certain people/sites is probably not intentional, and I'll admit I don't know all of the history of everything all the way back.  Also, be aware that it is not particularly pro-pirate.  It's not anti-pirate either, but I tried to go with as fair and unbiased as I could - I didn't want it to have an obvious slant to it that would turn people off from the overall point.  I know you guys tend to be a bit more about the lolcat/fail macros than handing someone an informative pamphlet, but I figure there's room for both approaches, and if you aren't catching any flies with vinegar, it might be time to try a little honey.

Dr. Borken...just for shits and giggles, can you find out if there is a link between the dirtcheapads company and The Sims Resource?  Specifically, does TSR have an ad contract with this company.

Related Sites:      insimadult.net, thesimsresource.com, sims2cri.com, sims2community.com, simbology.com, rosesims2.net, peggyzone.com, parsimonious.org, modthesims2.com, xmsims.com

interesting?

im also seeing that the domain for TSR is owned by a Johan Isacsson, which is interesting, as ive been told by someone else that its meant to be owned by a steve something?

strange. can anyone give me any more info i can use?



EDIT - it appears that this Johan Isacsson also uses the name Thomas Isacsson, which i beleive should ring a few bells

Nope, I tried (*tried*) to be as neutral as I could in my sim_wank article as well. It's about informing people, not ranting. I'm glad we share that view. EPIC post by the way, that must've taken ages to write! I hope someone benefits from your hard work.

Person Who Offered To Proofread (and who's name I forgot, shame on me): thank you! I've shot you an email, no need to lose my addy. You're nice  Wink

And thanks for that "get over it" screenshot, Bunny Person! (So many new names, I can't keep up!) That wank wouldn't have been the same without it.

Holy crap on a pogo stick, I just read that. Um... sounds bad, but what does it mean exactly?

AW, were you asking about the domain, or the LLC.  Dirt Cheap Advertising is a Virginia based LLC.  Walt is listed as a member/manager and the resgistered agent.  There could be other member/mangers (LLCs do not have shareholders) but they are not listed.  The registered address is same one Walt uses for everything else (it is posted elsehwere, but I won't post it here).

Just a guess, but I'd say that related sites list has nothing to do with ownership, but rather how internet search engines find similar sites - ie they're big sites related to the Sims.

edit-
Walt also owns DLD2000.com, LLC, if you can find anything interesting on that.

I think this should be mandatory reading for any newbies?  Cheesy Very well done, although it's missing the macros.  Tongue
