Paden's Baked Tater

I have to say that this looks like the largest scam I've seen in the Sims community to date. And the most personal.
I say grab your pitchforks and torches, folks.
My sympathy for those of you who were loyal Insim members. Huggles and back pats from me.

I couldn't care less one way or another what happens to InSim. Aside from how this effects Paden, I have to agree. I am curious about Squinge though. Does anyone know if he'll be leaving Walt Dismaland? I can't say I'm surprised by Kathy and Eric's attitude. Hell, they only turned up now and again to impose more rules, to hear the sheep shout "boobies!" and to demand more donations before pissing off back into obscurity. If those figures that have been posted here and on InSim are true, then they've been taking many donators, contributors and staffers over there for a ride  . Maybe having a fence post stuck up their asses for all these years inclined them to be a bit disingenuous. - edited because I had to deal with family today and both my nerves and my concentration are shot. Wanna buy them, Walt? - cheap? |

Squinge hasn't decided what he's going to do yet, but I'm sure we'll all know soon enough. |

Hey- maybe the Insim mods should change the tile of the thread there from "Starting a New Era..." to "New World Order at Insim" It would be more appropriate.

He'll probably be moving as well. This whole situation isn't sitting well with him (or Chaavik and I, his moderators), and we've had a few offers from other sites to host his stuff. |

They're married. As far as I know, Eric has a job, too. It makes -no- sense. Maybe he doesn't anymore. You know, the economy and all. Squinge hasn't decided what he's going to do yet, but I'm sure we'll all know soon enough. He could TURN TO THE DARK SIDE. We have cookies. |

The whole situation isn't sitting well with me either. What's worse is being told about the announcement Walt made at Insim by someone else on another site where I do frequent. None of us knew what happened. That's the betrayal of those who put time and energy into the site because we like to be with other people whose interests are as common as ours.
To think the previous owners really cared about us is an understatement. To think that the money we donate doesn't always go to the costs of site maintenance. To think they sold out to someone who had absolutely zero interest in the Sims 2 community or even the game franchise. All of this is sickening. Sickening to think they would care about Insim and the community behind it.
Yeah, we got blindsided royally. Real nice fucking way to tell us you were leaving us without so much of a "goodbye" or a "warning" to tell us the new changes were coming.
I don't know what Squinge's plans are for the moment, but we both do know he already had his mods backed up on his machine(s). I have my own mods backed up. They always have been backed up before I uploaded them.
What kind of cookies?

Think Jack Daniels, CM, it's about the only thing that will work. Or Everclear.
