I was trying not to say it's name.. it's like saying "myxlplyx" three times or something.. I just remember this lot furiously posting so it wasn't at the top of the page. For the Insim people I would also like to point out that I too donated both times when Kathy was in a flat panic and the site was about to close.. lots of people around here did because we help free sites. Because we beleive in them. That's also why Pescado's doing what he's doing now. So we need to support what he's doing and sort the details out later.

  Oh Cala.. my eyes cannot unsee that macro ever again.. *giggles* That's disturbing..

The big thing is, I don't think Walt should be in the title.. because it's not exactly 100 percent less Walt then, is it?  

Eledhel the reason why Pescado's doing this is so you can have an environment with handsfree management again and you guys can have a home, I'm sure you won't hate whatever he comes up with. I personally don't spit on Insim, I just didn't visit there much because I didn't have time.

Personally, I think a play on words on the name that was would be more effective.. or something that's about the community that was. You wouldn't want the whole site to be all about Walt and what he or Kathy and Eric did.. it's a whole lot more about keeping a bunch of people together who like each other's company.

umh yes.. Astroth, that's a bit painful on the eyes.. Keirra is adblock a standard feature on Firefox?

oh lord, Smeagol, you're evil..

Rohina, that BBS post is a thing of beauty.. 

Saharia , your forum looks gorgeous.. Really visually appealing and pleasant looking.
And I am so glad we don't have ads on Sublime.. they annoy the life out of me (I hate those ads on the top of Insim) We don't have a need to have extra cash coming in the door, our hosting is covered..

actually it can be really timeconsuming Neriana.. any site is timeconsuming. Even a small site can take ten or fifteen hours a week depending on how much you're updating.

Hey Syn

I'd suggest going to a two-teired thing.. Maybe having a spot that's open to guests that just for downloads only, or a preview gallery? People probably just want to be able to see what they're going to download or get an idea of what's on offer before they log in.. I actually checked out your stuff on MTS and liked the look of it. But like many others I'm often horribly busy (in my case running Reclaim Your Game and creating for Skadi) and I don't have time to commit to posting on another forum just to get downloads.

I will also mention that I can't speak for Skadi or what she'd offer an individual person.. but she's set up free subdomains for people before if she gets on well with them. And our hosting on Sublime is set up for the next two and a half years, so it ensures a site is up for a long time. And you can ask Cala and Hec about what kind of host Skadi is if you want to check things out first..  And we've also got a nice, friendly site if people decide they want to talk to Skadi about maybe just uploading their stuff to Sublime..

What I'm comforted about is that all of the people who're leaving Insim at the moment will have multiple options to find new homes or places to share their stuff.. it's a disaster but it shows we've still got a good, strong community even at this point.

Kath

  oh that's cute.. I like the layout.. I won't join though, communities where I need to sign up to download make me nuts.

Corinne, with your domain, make sure you get whoisguard protection.. Namecheap's really good for that, they charge you ten bucks for the domain, then you get the whois protection for free. It's worth it not to see your personal details plastered everywhere. With the hosting, it depends on what you need as to what you want to buy...

Does SynapticSim have a site? I can't find one for him when I search..

Oh that "why don't you post" notice? It always gives me the shits.. I've donated to Insim once or twice when they've been in a hole with the money, but I barely download from there (just Bloom and Warlok's stuff) and I don't have the energy to string a sentence together with people I don't know most of the time.. I'd prefer to download and leave.

IrnBru rocks, Dee, honest.. And I'm not prejudiced because I'm Scots or anything, honest.. (I was born there, but grew up in Brissie)

from dealing with Bloom, I know he likes to be at least asked and credited.. and fair enough too, he's a great modder.

It's the doublestandard thing "you're sharing meshes so I'll whinge about it but share some free ones just to annoy you"..

Snarky, have I told you I love you again this month..
