Straw poll here:
What would people say to an alternate copy of Insim, only with a few slight differences, such as, say, different domain, being ruled by me, and having 100% less Walt?

You've got my (insignificant, I'm sure) vote.
My current estimate of what Kathy and Eric sold it for is somewhere between $5k and $10k
And I'm afraid that makes Walt pretty much a dumbass, QED. I'm still reeling from reading 25 pages of this thread , but I can definitely join in with hoping Mr W returns to find his "investment" gone belly-up like he was the MD of Lehman Bros.
I never went to InSim other than to lurk and snatch downloads (yeah, that annoying "You've never posted to InSim before, please post!" was always at the top of my pages), but having been involved in a site of similar magnitude to MTS2 in the past (not Sims related) which had the previous owners sell to another bunch of people only interested in making money off it while I was one of the staff, I can at least guess how you all are feeling. As far as I'm aware (I have not been there for a couple of years), the change in hands of owners meant that all the people really interested in the subject left and the staff members were left with only the dreaded 12s.
