This Walt must be very trusting. He has left several people with Admin status, not taken care to ensure they are on his side (in fact knows some of them are not), and gone off to eat turkey for the day. Heck for all he knows they could be deleting the whole site by now
If I was him, I would have done an immediate lockdown, and held talks with the staff before deciding which ones should keep their roles.
You are so right it's sick. I would have been making sure at least ONE admin was spoken to on each site to make a game plan. I just don't think this guy has any idea about what the site is about or why the people come there. Hell, he didn't even know about the software. So far he has not contacted anyone. His lack of presence is only making everyone want to jump ship more.
I am at odds with Delphy taking over InSIM. While it would be nice if he did so and didn't change it into MTS2 I am hesitant about how it would work. MTS2 has pop ads that I get on every other page and other ads all around. Besides that I was under the impression that Delphy was phasing out MTS2. Why buy a site if you are not interested in continuing the current site? Not to sound snarky... hopefully he's had a change of heart.
D has retired from major duties of day-to-day drudgery on the site - fixing accounts, setting up new forums, that kind of thing, and has me and Tig to do that, as well as a great team of staff to do the rest of the stuffs. MTS2 isn't being phased out or discontinued at all - there probably won't be a huge amount of new major features on it, but it's sticking around, and who knows, might even get expanded to offer some sort of TS3 stuff, even though TS3 will suck.
If you're getting the popup ads on every other page, something's wrong - you should only get the takeover ad once per day and then it's just the little ads (which you can easily ignore or block). If it's happening that often, post up in Site Issues (I think there's a recent thread on this or you can make one of your own) with info on what browser you're using (including the version) and any further details like which ad in particular it is and I'm sure we can get it straightened out. The ads on MTS2 aren't meant to cause a problem with using the site, and if they are, we'll find a way to fix it.
Thank you for the clarification. It's good to know MTS2 will still be around. I am sure TS3 will suck too, but I am getting that itchy finger to buy it anyway. *sigh* I'm trying to hold off to at least make a statement but ya know...
I remember seeing the thread somewhere and will look for it again. Unfortunately (or fortunately) I use FF so the only thing that keeps popping up is the box without the ad. I'll post there anyway.
I keep waiting for Walt to at least say something that makes me think he has at least ONE clue as to what he got himself into. Tomorrow should be interesting when he returns to once again put out the fires.
