Human Behavior 101

Nice people's gets power.  But mean booby lady limits said power.
Mean booby lady and her man sells site to crazy douchebag Walt.
Walt f's up everything.
Nice peoples lose power.
Nice peoples feel out of control.
Out of control nice peoples are sometimes not so nice.
Pescado pillages and (possibly) burns.
Out of control sometimes nice peoples gets power back, and shiny buttons.
Out of control sometimes nice peoples haz more power, and no mean booby lady to flick the whip.
Some out of control sometimes nice peoples start grasping for mean booby lady's position, thus becoming not nice at all.


Underneath it all there's some nice peoples in there, just trying to get their beloved site back to what it was. 
But it will never be exactly what it was.  Only something different, and of course, we fear change.

oh my god, I caught up.  I really, really caught up. I can't believe the saga continues.  My days lately exist only to read Walt threads, go to work, read Walt threads, sleep, and repeat.  Perhaps I'll have to give up sleeping like Pescado. 

Anyway, the thing the boggles me is how many people here struggle to understand what an imbecile Walt truly must be, and how many topics keep popping up saying Walt has some mysterious master plan.  Bah.  There are morons with money everywhere, folks!  Although, how much of the money is Walt's and how much is Mommy's is still in question.  Any idiot can own an LLC.  And Walt is all business.  Thus the talk of non-profits a while back in Walt's "here's how you can buy me out" letter.  He CAN'T understand a concept like the sims community, no matter how many people try to explain it to him.  Because in business, peoples gets paid.  Non-profits still make a ton of profit. People who work for non-profits (like moi) still gets paid.  Walt will never understand a "break even" concept in a website.  Never.  Sadly there are many many many Walts out there.  They work their ways up the business ladder by sprouting business babble (anyone remember Walt's "The future of the site is BRIGHT!" line?)  Shit like that can get you far.  These kinds make their decisions, carry out their plan, and then ask for input.  Backwards?  Yes.  But they were going to ignore the input anyway, so what difference does it make to them?  And the peons underneath them?  They could give two shits.  Next, la revolucion should focus it's attention on bringing down the morons of the world.  Once all the paysites are destryed first, of course.  It could be called morons.mustbeneutered.com. 

Crap, I'm ranting.  And, possibly not even making sense as I need.  sleep.

Yes, that's what I get too, but from roadrunner instead of verizon.  It seems like this Thanksgiving was very thankful indeed...if not for a long weekend and Pecado's diligence we may not have backups of both sites.  

Thanks for the info...was working late last night so missed that bit of discussion.

I'm now getting a "sorry we couldn't find www.insimenator.net" message for InSim and InSimAdult.  Des that mean Walt's done with the site for good?  Or just that he f-ed up the site again?

Meh.  You are right.  I just can't get over the thought that a new InSim could be useful somehow to your PMBD mission against T$R.  Hmmmm....

*returns to evil scheming*

I have the conch shell!  You must listen to me!

Long time lurker drawn out of hiding (like many it seems).  I have a thought; let me share it with you.

We are all operating under the assumption that another TSR is a bad thing.  What if it's not?

I know, I know.  Stop throwing those damn bottles of rum at me.  One of the reasons Thomas can do what he does is the constant influx of 12s and the fact that he has no competition.  12s sign up for T$R with mommy's credit card and suddenly they feel IMPORTANT.  They upload a crappy floodfill dress and get comments like, "Why that's the best thing I've ever seen!"  They join in the stupid kudos program and get instant bragging rights.  They wave their stupidity about like a flag and get praised for it.  And no matter how much Thomas charges, they keep coming, because no other forums will have them.  They've bought their acceptance, and are pleased.

Well, what if there was another place for them? 

What if we let Walt create his vision of InSim, and subtly throw out links to it whenever a 12 approaches our other beloved forums?  The mods who liked the 12s can stay on at InSim, and those who didn't can move over to the Oasis, or wherever it is the InSimmers end up going.  What if we help Walt re-create InSim as a haven for 12s...and the laughing stock of the rest of the Sims Community?  What if a 12s-centered InSim can help to destroy T$R? 

That's my kind of vengence.
