Insim under new management!

[Jojoba]

They (insim staff) have worked really hard to help creators pull creations, help people remove threads, set up a refugee forum, make sure the community is informed, and then work on getting the new sites up and running. It seems really unfair that instantly it gets drama'd and they earn comparisons to Walt (I don't see them planning to make moneyz of the site..). I do not agree with the manner in which, or decision, that Hardwaretoad made but would prefer to let them all cool down and get on with sorting the site out properly. Would very much like to see the sites back up. The last couple of days have been frustrating and tiresome: its understandable. Meh.

You surrender your soul at the door to "the office".

I imagine torture devices within, and Pescado stroking a very fuzzy white cat...James Bond villian style!

While I understand the need for picking a new name, I feel they should focus mainly at the moment on getting the sites cleaned up and running as that should be first thing, name should be second and I agee only having two choices to vote on sort of sucks.

Also I understand the the nerves have been shot in the week since the shit hit the fan and all hell broke loose in regards to the whole InSim mess, but taking it out on the very folks who you want to help is not going to work either.

While I understand for the most part that Pes was going to take a hands off approach the running of the cloned InSim sites there is also the need for a person to explain things to the staff from a fairly middle of ground point of view.

HWT may have done messed up in the eyes of not only Pes but the existing members and possible new members. Things are going to be interesting for the next little while as everything shakes out

And why are you taking this fight to another forum?

Probably because the thread was locked over there and now it's closed? And this is the Insim discussion area.

What I find really sad, is suddenly we are at each other throats.  HWT does not usually post like that.  I was a member under a different name, and while I lurked more then posted, I read a lot of threads.  i think he is just under stress and feeling attacked. The staff is trying to get things back to normal as fast as possible.  Takes time away from getting the site up to handle wars in a naming thread.  

I felt that because she didn't get her way at the new site, she came here to gather supporters.  We don't need another revolution so soon.  What happened to supporting the effort?  There will be bumps in the road and this is one of them.  Everyone needs to take a deep breath and realize we all have been through an emotional wringer, staff more so then anyone.

edit-cause I cannot multi-task well

I posted the Godaddy domain info on Walt yesterday and suggested someone purchase his domain name and today it was updated to expire in oct 09 instead of jan 09 (yesterdays info).  Think he might be reading this thread?

Even though it's in maintenance mode, I logged in like the fool that I am and found this:

News: VIVA LA REVOLUCION! VIVA PRESIDENTE!
Login using your standard ISA login, we can haz DB!
STUPID APSALAR to my office!

Haha, that's what I get for clicking the login button twice (and not paying attention to what the message said ). 



Unless I am actually expected to go somewhere... *is worried*

I'd be fearing for your soul right about now, if I were you.

Nah, I sold my soul years ago.

[Apsalar]

It's been there all day? I need to pay more attention.   I am in #grah now though.



Edit: Might aswell get drunk on rum, since I probably won't survive for long. *shares rum*

[Jonesi]

What's #grah??

[Apsalar]

It's the Abyss; it devours your soul.

Agreed. I think we can trust the new staff to sort this out. Like I've said, from what I've seen they've done a stellar job so far. I really think this is just a minor speedbump. I am nervous about it. I have to admit the last week has been... upsetting, yes, but once everyone started working together and there was a solid plan, it became almost fun, in an exciting sort of way. We disagreed and people spoke up and I liked that. Infighting would just make me sad at this point.

I was a little hurt by the "PMBD shit don't fly here" remark. I really think we've been quite accomodating during this whole mess and handled the influx of refugees and gawkers as best as we could. I know many people weren't happy about all of this spilling over into this forum, but I think that on the whole we did okay, right? I don't know, I probably read to much into that.

Glad to know HWT isn't usually like that. Must be the stress. I hope she takes the time to calm down a bit, have a breather. That would do everyone a world of good. Including me.
