The mirror looks good so far but the mod/admin area needs to be locked out as it's still visible.

I'll come out of lurk mode to offer you one salient point. Walt was nowhere to be seen on either InSIM site last night when the mod/admin area went public. You've got someone else to thank for that. I was on both sites until about 7:00 a.m. today (12/3/08, I see it just went past midnight here for me) and know when he was there and when he wasn't. The man was absent when that shit went down. So look amongst yourselves.

Eric promised to support the hack for the next year to Walt in conditions of the sale..

Hunter was indeed developing a new improved bigger and better love rug to be hosted along with the rest of their creations at ISA. They liked the community and support/input we provided at ISA compared to SXS2. The new animations by Chris & joker were becoming a big draw and were developing futher as well with each passing week. Warlokk's 3D meshes were a monster draw as were Bloom and Gothplague's creations. Also we had many talented and creative folks but those are some of the big names. We had our resident CN's though, too, so not everything was ducky.

The two sites are going together as a package ~ both need the same consideration when discussed I believe.

Paden and I tallked long and hard about the whole InSIM hack hosting thing last night. She knows how I feel about it and has a better voice among you here so I'll defer to her...

Warlokk developed the entire 'bodyshape' series, all of the 3D default replacements and various 'named' shapes for our Sims , those of that use and love them, anyway. He's a huge draw to both InSIM sites and it'd be a shame to lose his volume of work even if he's been 'retired' as of late.

Also in case anyone hadn't noticed SXS2 was dying a slow death. Chris Hatch had already moved his things to ISA and was working with jokerswild producing new animation hacks and calling us homebase. Right as all of this went down Hunter240x was also in he process of moving all of their things to ISA as well.

ISA as a site could be the dominant adult themed site in the community if things are handled right.

I saw a link at The Oasis to a SnootySims thread where someone asked as to what was going on with InSIM. One girl stated that Walt was K&E's 'technical friend' and another one claimed that K&E offered her the site like they did good ol' Walt. Both had multi-thousand post count totals there but seriously didn't seem to have a clue as to what actually transpired regarding InSIM. Delusions of grandeur?

I've stayed back and out of this but have read every page here and GoS, some of the ones at The Oasis as well now that I'm registered over there. We (InSIM staff) have an area set aside within the Oasis' mod/admin area where we can converse outside of the prying eyes of the community and actually take a step in the direction of organized rebellion/rebuilding.

All I can say for myself is that since Pes ordered his l33t fl33t into broadside mode I've stayed completely away from both sites entirely. Friends from the sites I have in IM have been told by me to stay away as well for the all too obvious reasons. It would seem to me with the ammount of curiosity seekers, saviors of creations, or even new members trying to sign up that know nothing of this debacle it would be wise to keep the pic snapping, etc. relegated to one person amongst ourselves that's been appointed for such activity.

I'm solely relying on this site and other's info posted to keep me abreast of things. I've a morbid curiosity to look behind the curtain as well as anybody has. While I was mainly involved with the adult site and since becoming unemployed I was spending usually 8-14+ hours a day there trying to keep everything running smoothly I seriously doubt that it looks good to Walt that more than likely there's nobody there at all in an administrative capacity whether it be mod, supermod, or admin.

You can rip me a new one if you wish but as far as the burning goes I fail to see where anyone outside of the individual creators themselves have a right to do that. To suggest otherwise is not only reprehensible but morally bankrupt. As staff there I can if directed to by a creator themself to delete items but to be perfectly honest with you anyone that's created a thread to attach a download to has that capability themselves. I won't presume to think I know where whether one creator or another wishes their things to be made available at.

You've got to take into account that members are seeing whats going on unless they're complete neophyte asshats and are trying to grab everything they can as well. Wouldn't you? The servers were slow even at 2:00 a.m. after last weeekend when the Watzinator took over at low load times so you can imagine what this is doing to them. I never did get onto the main site yesterday other than for about 2 minutes to post one comment in the mods area, then it was down all day ~ same for the adult side, obviously.

I'm not trying to start an arguement in here where I'm a NewB and I have nothing against what the community as a whole is trying to accomplish especially those of you here. I've no idea as to when Pes is going to start his giant 7 cheezserver meltx0r either. If anyone should be notifying people it should be him I would think and that counts at sites he's been posting about it at like GoS. Take into account the majority of members at the InSIM sites have no idea as to who MATY, GoS, PMBD, or the newly formed Oasis even are or where and we all have a major problem.

1 ~ This site's not the only one doing this. 2 ~ Evidently you think everyone's going to catch Pes' little statement already 2 pages back and are following it. 3 ~ No spouting on my part, I've got 3 years invested over there. Can you say the same?

I'm just trying to suggest you get some organizational skills and go about it in an orderly fashion as has been suggested. Running haphapzardly all at once all over both sites is only preventing you from completing what you're trying to accomplish. For one, people like gothplague who'd recently had a serious meltdown of her computer a few weeks ago had a Hell of a time trying to get in and get copies of 3 years worth of her hard work for backups because of the feeding frenzy you're displaying.

I'm not thinking of myself in this at all but of the friends I have at both sites, so quit trying to act like this is some kind of magnanimous action by most of you. If it is you're sure showing it in a strange way.


Then the rest ought to just kick back and let you go about it...

Why don't you le tsome of us that actually call the place home like I have for over 3 years try and get some things done before you all start sharking it to death? I'm sympathetic to all of your concerns about archiving creations but we as staff have been left in a shitstorm. All of this is making things difficult way beyond what it has to be.

I know I can barley get into the site before it hangs, so my thanks to those of you that're pillaging.


I'd sure like to her something about that as well. Contrary to possibly popular belief by alot of the community we're not all a bunch of sweaty palmed post adolescents looking for anything sheer or tittilating to drag to our (Mom's) basement so we can conduct our version of Sim pRoN. The adult side was home to a small but loyal group of regulars that not only wanted realism for our games but a social setting where we could discuss all manners of topics without being inundated with idiotic posts from the tweener demograph.

I've lurked here forever on many a night reading various threads and laughing my ass off at times but learning a hell of a lot about the community at large at the same time. I know you don't take kindly to noobs in the ol' pirate's den so I've always been hesitent but as this topic here has really got my blood to boiling I thought that there was no time like the present.

I wouldn't be against a plan like you're describing Pescado but I certainly can't speak for any other staff there. Now, with the servers "meltz0red" it's going to be pretty damn hard to get any kind of word out to some of the fellow staff or members that may be sympathetic to that option. The worst part of the whole thing is that I know creators/staff that were trying to get items of their own off of both site to make backups of their creations that now can't get to them.

As you can see by my username I'm all for 100% less Walt. I'm one of the recently shit on mods over there and I can't express how pissed I am, not so much at Walt because he's just a fudipshit trying to make a quick buck that was sold a white elephant by K & E. My real complaint is them and how they said nothing to my knowledge to anyone and just waltzed, if you'll pardon the expression.
