All your music choices reminded me of Bugs Bunny cartoons. Now I see you as a smart version of Yosemite Sam.
LOL I know what you mean Palemato. I seen that one too, with Bugs as the Barber. Isn't the defining element of Yosemite Sam's character that he's kind of an idiot, though? Without the stupidity, all that you have left is the hat.
And a bald head, can't forget that.  |

Pescado, seriously I think it's a bad idea to even suggest it. A large number of InSim users will think you are seriously proposing to give money to this guy and the "donations" will come streaming in like obedient sheep. I think the irony will be above the heads of a large proportion of people. Well, we still gotta pay for a server, Walt or no Walt. We can buy Walt's server, At Cost, relieving him of the burden and saving the effort of unpacking, or go through a lot of extra bother to repack about 100 GBs of crap. Incidentally, Walt will not be receiving the donations. I will appoint someone to screen those donations to make sure that the taps do not overflow, *AND* to cut the lines once the goal is reached. Just like on MATY, where we stopped accepting donations once the goal was met. Walt will have to retrieve his ACTUAL money from Kathy. Given that server bills are normally paid monthly, it is quite likely we have sufficient funds to cover this immediately and he can be gone faster than the door can hit him in the ass. And I'm not a patient man, so if he drags his feet, he'll be left holding a server that will run at a loss AND probably get no donations because his inept server management is incapable of keeping the site up long enough for anyone to WANT to donate. Relieving him of his duties can only work out for him. Of course, the offer is quite bad, from his point of view. He will refuse, and we will go ahead with the original plan anyway. But it's like I always say: "Try diplomacy, you can always invade them later." Actually, that is a really sound plan that will cause a lot of squirming, on Walt's part. Like you said too, there is going to be server costs to pay out either way, so why not cause some discomfort and possibly save time with the set up. I vote for this plan, just because it's so well thought out and devious in a fabulous way! And Delphy, it was really great of you to step in and help. It was also noted that you were really quick in trying to stop this mess, by offering to buy the site, right away. Thank you for that. |

If he wants out of this and his money back, than he can just go get it from Kathy and Eric, IMO. They've been getting enough money from this community already, at some point that needs to end. Option 3 is the best way to go, as far as I'm concerned.

Speaking of Snooty. Did anyone else happen to notice that they have threads actively encouraging the nubility to post RL pics of themselves and their secret locations all over teh interwebs? Bravo!
Do you have a link for this kenmtl? I looked over there but, I totally fail at finding it. On another note, I just want to thank Pescado for the wonderful music selection. Would you by any chance have a good version of the William Tell overture, in your collection? |

Wilt posted in the staff area, hinting of big plans, a new announcement and trying like hell to repair his fuck up. It ain't working with me.
Or that post I read over at Oasis where he casually mentioned he was going to ban everyone who didn't play nice? If it's new, we canz haz quote? Walt posted over at Oasis? Do you have a link handy or a quote please? Edit: Oops, I missread that. Do you have a link of the post regarding Walt, that is over at Oasis? |

For those of us in the colder regions, I did find this little recipe, to help keep the chill away.
MICROWAVE HOT MULLED CIDER
1/2 tsp. whole allspice
1/2 tsp. whole cloves
1 stick cinnamon
1/2 c. water
1 1/2 c. cranberry juice
1 qt. apple cider
In a 2 quart casserole combine all ingredients. Cover. Microwave on high for 5-8 minutes or until hot. Strain.
*Adding a little rum is optional.

That was what I was doing on the weekend, to keep my self too busy to wander over to the Insim site. It does help pass the time nicely and not to mention, I finally had a chance to check out all of the downloads from my last little spree.  |

Cloning the site is one thing but, to take down a site/burn it, I can't agree that that is the right thing to do. When the new site is set up, Insim will basically be deserted not long after that. Majority of the Insims will more than likely either go to the new one, or go to another site. There are a few members; over at Reflexsims Forum, who have admitted that they are from Insim originally but, they are considering making Reflex their new home.
Burning the site; puts us right at the same level as Thomas, and that right there tells me that it's the wrong decision to do.

I'm sorry eledhel, this cannot be easy and I do feel for the members that are presently there. Sadly, the only thing that I can think of, is exactly what the creators are already doing, taking their things and leaving. I'm really hoping that another site can be put together, so that the Insim members do have a nice place to call home agian, without Walter and he idiocy.

Didn't he say in a post that he was going to be away, due to other engagements, for Thanksgiving? I got the impression, he wasn't around right now and had left the Mods. and Admins to deal with his bombshell.
@Devilfish, is there anyway they can be notified, if Pescado puts up another site so that they may go to that one? That way at least, they will be able to have somewhere; other than the BBS, where they can call home.

You're right Jojoba, Mira has been asked previously to become an FA and she's turned the offer down. She mentioned that in the Sims Cave; in the "Thank you Mira" thread, about being asked and why she refused the position. Oh wow Shocked Embarrassed I didn't expect this!!
Thank you all for your kind words, you have no idea what this means to me Smiley
And yes, Fillert is right, I've been asked, and I didn't want to as this is my hobby, not my job, and I love to much to share, and to get the feedback I get from it. I mean, I put loads of time into creating, and I think the biggest reward one can get is this Smiley not some bucks Wink
I'm not pro paysites, nor am I against, I think everyone should do what he feels is right, as long as nobody forces his view up on someone else, I'm cool with whatever Cheesy
And I like my freedom indeed, that's why I went to TSR, I can upload as I want, when I want, I can somehow control and see if my stuff is appriciated, what is loved, and what is less Wink So there you go, now you know it all icon_geek I'm a sims nerd Cheesy You can find the whole thread here, at the Cave. IMO, I think someone may be mistaken because she was pretty sure of herself, when she said that she wished to remain free but, I could be wrong. I'm hoping though, that I'm not in this case. |

Be grateful, I have the opening theme song from the cartoon Freakazoid in mine.
I've never heard of that cartoon before but, I'm getting a feeling that I'm happily oblivious of them, if their theme is that bad.  |
