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

Interesting, the Wild West Domains which is listed in the quoted post with the godaddy link is about two hours south of me.  As for what their stake in this whole mess which is becoming stranger and weirder by the day or at least that is what is seems like is anybody guess.

Well I still find the whole thing to a shitty action as for the owners of both InSim sites, I'm glad that Pescado stepped up to save the content from the sites.

Well we're assuming its Walt the nitwit doing it, because he is the only person who stated anything from his company.  That said he could have a small group of halfwit tech's doing the tech things but given what it seems he did in regards to poor old InSim he doesn't nor does the tech's he employ's have a clue.

Also as far as the domain goes changing the hosting company would seem to make sense since at one point I got a placeholder page with a bunch of links and a search box all of which had nothing to do with The Sims 2.

Also assuming this walt guy has some logic a backup made before the shit hit the fan and even before he said he was the newer which I guess would about the same time would make sense again assuming there is logic behind any of this though from the posts he made he doesn't appear to have much of a clue.  Also seems to lack business sense

I hope the new server has the same issues as the old

Well I can read some topic's but can't seem to post in the one I want too.  I get a stinkin database error if I try to reply and also seems if you go into any of the download topics you'll get a database error as well.

Paden nice post in regards to your quiting.

I was able to kill my email address incase the dippy idoit tries to make money by selling that to spammers.  That is of course based on the fact he doesn't have a backup, which I find unlikely given how stable the site as been.

I agree with whomever called miros1 an idiot is right, has that person doesn't seem to have clue and hasn't brothered to follow things to get a better idea.

As for the InSim mod while there are other hacks and even cheats to allow one to do the things it did, it was kinda of handy to have it all in one place.  I'm also using the blender and find that it seems to be lacking some features I use from InSim but I'll keep hunting for other ways to do the things I use InSim for

I feel sorry for any who decide to stay with a doomed and already sinking ship.

I believe somewhere in this massive topic a kind person provided a download link to the InSim hack itself.  I would suggest dugging through it to find it.

As for my question in regards to some folks in the community not liking the idea of two people who have from my point of view done a lot to help in this time of crisis regarding the InSim sites and overall for the Sims2 community its not that big of deal to me I was just wondeirng that was all.

I do agree that either one of them hosting it would be better then what the current host is doing or not doing depending on your point of view.

Glad to read your thoughts as well Warlokk

The website doesn't make the community, its the members and in this case also the custom content.

Now Walt I hope doesn't get anything near whatever he paid for InSim.  Just getting the server would be the only reason I would even remotely conisder paying that numbnut idiot anything.

Now since Pescado seems to be willing and is actually trying to save the content of the InSim sites as a whole, even willing to host as is Delphy
from what has been said in the 14o some odd pages in this topic and also I believe that was at little to no cost to the overall communinty which to me is very nice thing for them to offer.  I also think the staff from InSim should be charge with the actual running of clone site though they should also be able to make the changes they see or felt were need before this whole mess happened.  The clone site forum software is not that important to me, though I feel if the staff from the InSim sites should at least have been asked which they want though thats just me wanting peace as much as possible among people.

I do agree that finding downloads on InSim was a challege in of itself so anything that can improve that is fine with me.

Now this question may get me hanged or whatever but I feel for those of that haven't paid much if any real attention to politics in this community what are peoples issues in regards to Pescado and Delphy and folks not wanting them host a clone of InSim?

Now back to your regular scheduled whatever

Thats what I get for not really thinking about the effect that avatar would have on other people when I originally decided to use it.  Sorry to those it brothered and I've since changed it.

This Thanksgiving has been a very interesting one in regards to InSim it would seem

Well it seems the server is fubar or the dippy lack of brians managed to take it offline.

Given what has been said as a result of the sudden and very poorly done takeover the collapse of InSim should not have been such a shock but needless to say it was since it appears nobody saw anything coming.

I applaud those who have taken the time to try and save as much as possible from both InSim sites.  The new owner if in fact its a new owner managed to do one thing right and that is cause a riot and a revolt.

I hope somebody once the dust settles compiles a list of where the creators from InSim ended up.

I wonder what I'll read later at InSim should it actually be back online otherwise what I'll be reading here

Well many thanks to everybody who makes the Booty what it is.
